About the Programme

The industrial landscape is shifting from reactive maintenance to predictive data-driven asset preservation. This intensive training program is designed to bridge the critical gap between traditional coating practices and the next generation of corrosion control. Participants will be the first to uncover a ground-breaking technological evolution that replaces static paper reports with a living, digital integrity framework and new advance coating technology.

By leveraging AI and Digital Twin technology, this session demonstrates how to mitigate corrosion by predicting failures before they occur. We explore how the industry is moving toward a "Performance-as-a-Service" model to guarantee asset life and ROI. This is an essential competency upgrade for any corrosion & coating professional seeking to remain relevant in this transition.

There will be invited lectures by eminent experts from industry, R&D, and academia.

Learning Outcomes

Workshop Objectives

Participants will gain hands-on, actionable knowledge across four key competency areas.

Material Advancement in Protective Coating

Gain technical insight into next-generation, high-solids, and eco-friendly coating systems engineered for extreme chemical and high-temperature exposures.

Pro-active Maintenance of Protective Coating

Gain technical insight into use of digital twin technology to implement automated framework for sit-specific coating design and predictive models and close loop system that improves and optimize autonomously. Understand the transition to a Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) model that prioritizes high risk assets through a closed-loop digital verification system.

Advance Corrosion Testing of Protective Coatings

Accelerated corrosion testing is used to quickly evaluate the protective performance of coatings and to compare the effectiveness of different coatings under harsh environmental conditions.

Advance Corrosion Detection Sensors

For predictive Maintainance
