Coming soon to Viper Innovations in 2024, PlatformVi is a bespoke data visualization and analysis application that brings together system details and electrical integrity data into one easy-to-access platform. As asset management experts, Viper designed PlatformVi to help customers maximize the operational life of their subsea control and power distribution equipment. This technology harnesses the value derived from data to predict and display potential and developing problems, improving operational efficiency and equipment lifespan, helping operators improve preventive maintenance and safety.

The value of data for insight and decision-making
Improved safety, productivity and sustainability are just some of the benefits that insights from electrical data can provide offshore operators. For example, an effective line insulation monitoring (LIM) solution shows patterns in insulation resistance (IR) that, when correctly interpreted, enable early failure detection and proactive maintenance, extending asset life.
The value of “Data as a Service” is to take data, filter it, and turn it into valuable information that can be used for decision-making. The IR monitored by LIM is constantly changing and has many environment variables. This generates a lot of data, but it's not intuitive to know what that means if an operator wants to know, for example, when to replace an umbilical cord. So, after monitoring and collecting data, the next step is to draw correlations.
All this raw data is then organized, tagged, and analyzed, and machine learning is increasingly used to provide insights. This is where the phrase “Insight as a Service” comes from. It's about turning data into something meaningful that delivers tangible results that improve safety and quality, save money, or stop potentially costly events.
Improve your IR analytics with machine learning and AI
Viper's new data-driven asset management tool, PlatformVi, includes a large and unique set of domain-specific cable monitoring data. This opens up huge potential for the insight element of DaaS. Viper's in-house experts continuously apply user-centered design to identify valuable insights. The benefits of time-series LIM data mean that patterns in the data can be correlated to actual events. Importantly, the right monitoring technology allows you to identify patterns associated with events before they occur.
As data grows and technology improves, machine learning can unlock further insights and “see” patterns and trends that humans cannot. When humans and AI work together, properly collected historical data can be used for event reconstruction and fault analysis to improve fault diagnosis.
Over time, condition monitoring of subsea electrical systems will become so detailed that operators will be able to predict events such as catastrophic falls in the IR and take preventive measures. PlatformVi's future does not include unexpected failures due to IR issues, so there is no risk of lost productivity.
