At the Smart Maintenance Demo Zone, experience how advanced technologies are making industry safer, more efficient and sustainable. From inspections with drones in confined spaces by Terra Inspectioneering, to real-time monitoring of infrastructure with fibre-optic sensors by Fluves. Experience how Sorama visualises sound to detect leaks and defects, and discover ITIS‘ revolutionary in-situ testing method for testing breathing valves (PVRV) and explosion covers (ERV) on atmospheric storage tanks.
Don’t miss our demonstrations and see for yourself how these innovations minimise downtime and optimise maintenance!
KicMPi
Knowledge and Innovation Centre Maintenance Process Industry is an independent cooperative association.
KicMPi stimulates cooperation between companies with the aim of innovating with maintenance in the process industry.
Our members consist of both asset owners and service providers. Supply and demand together, that is our strength.
By working together on innovation, industrial companies and service companies can achieve more.
Fluves
Fluves helps businesses reduce downtime and minimize maintenance costs, ensuring water and energy infrastructure operate at peak performance. By using advanced fiber optic monitoring technologies, Fluves delivers precise control over every meter of critical assets, like pipelines, tanks and reactors. Their innovative solutions enable early detection of corrosion under insulation (CUI) and leaks, preventing expensive breakdowns and repairs.
Sorama
At Sorama, we help industries perform better by visualising sound. Sound visualisation enables people to use actionable data to detect and remedy unwanted noise sources, such as gas and air leaks, partial discharge or mechanical anomaly detection. This is possible with the handheld Sorama CAM iV64s for portable measurements and the fixed L642 for both fixed setups and integrated on robotic platforms for autonomous inspection.
Based in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, we work with an expert team of around 100 people. By developing innovative acoustic devices, we enable people to positively influence business, environmental and health risks caused by noise pollution.
Terra Inspectioneering
We specialise in performing inspections in confined spaces, such as storage tanks. Most of our clients are active in the oil and gas sector, but we also offer our services to companies operating in the food and beverage, power and chemical sectors. Our focus is on measuring wall thicknesses using drones. We also offer visual and thermal inspections. The inspection data collected by the drone is shared through a cloud-based 3D model of the inspected object, which is accessed by the customer.
Using drones for inspections has several advantages. First, the safety aspect of the inspection is maximised. This is because there is no need to work at height. Second, efficiency is improved. Downtime is significantly reduced when drones are used during inspections. Finally, data collection is improved in quantity and quality.
The inspection report we deliver is in line with international standards such as API-653 and EEMUA-159
ITIS
ITIS at Maintenance Fair 2025: Innovation in in-situ testing of valves on atmospheric storage tanks
ITIS is introducing a pioneering approach to the testing of breathing valves (PVRV) and explosion covers (ERV) on atmospheric storage tanks at Maintenance Fair 2025 in Antwerp. Our method combines full digitisation with a unique in-situ testing method, offering significant advantages over traditional testing methods in overhaul workshops.
What do we show?
✅ Full in-situ testing without dismantling
✅ Digital testing from A to Z
✅ Patented ERV test method
✅ Safety & accreditation (ISO 17025)
Why this innovation?
Traditional testing methods require dismantling, transporting and reinstalling valves, leading to wasted time, increased costs and additional risks. With the ITIS method, breathing valves and explosion valves can be tested and adjusted on-site, without taking the tank out of service. With this approach, we offer a faster, more reliable and safer solution for asset management in the process industry.
