GridRaster brings Spatial AI to refineries, processing plants, offshore facilities, and
pipeline networks. SPIDER turns pressure vessels, piping, and rotating equipment into live
spatial data that inspectors, technicians, and robotic systems all work from — compressing
turnaround windows, reducing time spent in hazardous areas, and building a traceable
integrity record across the asset’s service life.

Some key capabilities of the SPIDER spatial data layer include:

  • Uses Modular and Open Systems Architecture for building and maintaining the system
  • 3D model generation from commercial off-the-shelf devices, producing fully textured,
    production-ready digital twins of vessels, skids, and piping runs in minutes
  • Automatic 3D object segmentation and bounding-box extraction
  • Reconstruction at 1:1 scale without polygon reduction
  • Markerless localization of equipment and components in real time, with no fixtures or fiducials
  • Real-time 6DoF tracking of inspection tools and sensors during use
  • Precise orientation, alignment, and anchoring of digital twins to the physical asset
  • Cloud-native deployment with agile, secure development and operations, auto-scaling and
    resource sharing across sites and facilities via Kubernetes
  • Multi-level security addressing authorization, access, and encryption
  • On-premises, public/private cloud, or hybrid deployment
  • Customer data sovereignty — your data stays under your control
  • Secure remote sessions for inspection support, technical assistance, and vendor consultation
  • Allows specialists, engineers, and OEM support to be geographically separated from the work site

Automation & Robotics

Gives Robotic Systems a Live Understanding of a Changing Work Area

Process facilities never hold still — scaffolding moves, equipment is opened and reassembled, and access changes hour to hour through a turnaround. Traditional robot vision depends on fixed positions and pre-programmed paths that these environments break. SPIDER localizes the target, identifies the area of interest, maps surrounding obstacles, and streams that spatial data directly to the robotic controller.

The planned motion is simulated and previewed for the operator, who reviews and approves before anything executes — keeping human judgment in the
loop while removing people from confined and elevated work.

Inspection & Maintenance

Anchors Every Integrity Reading to Its Exact Place on the Asset

Thickness readings, weld findings, corrosion measurements, and inspector notes are typically captured by hand against a drawing reference or stored in systems disconnected from the equipment itself — making it difficult to compare a reading to the one taken at the same point during the last outage. SPIDER tracks inspection tools in real time and anchors every reading to its precise location on the physical asset and on the model, building a contextual
record on a single unified data layer. An eddy-current probe moving across a surface has its full path traced live and overlaid on the twin. A tactile sensor capturing fine scratches, pitting, and surface defects has each image mapped to the exact point it was taken. Surface defects are detected and classified automatically rather than left to visual judgment that varies by inspector and shift.

Active Task Assistance

Delivers the Right Data on the Asset, at the Moment of Work

Assistance is dynamic, not a static work instruction. SPIDER detects the equipment, aligns its digital twin to the physical surface, and shows the target in place — flagging errors as they happen and confirming each step before anything is committed.
