AISUS

What AISUS does

AISUS Offshore Ltd is an Aberdeen-based remote inspection technology company founded in 2012, operating as part of the Valor Group. The company designs, engineers, and deploys proprietary inspection tools (SIRIUS, SCORPIUS, AURIGA, ORION, Hydrus, MagCrawler) and provides remote inspection services for offshore energy infrastructure, including caissons, J-tubes, risers, conductors, and pipework. Core technical capabilities span ultrasonic testing (UT), pulsed eddy current testing (PEC), phased array UT (PAUT), time-of-flight diffraction (ToFD), laser scanning, remote visual inspection, and cleaning/surface preparation. Inspection data feeds into the Gemini cloud-based data management platform, which applies AI and machine learning for predictive corrosion modeling across a historical database of over 150 million UT readings.

AISUS generates revenue through three primary streams: project-based inspection professional services (largest stream), equipment rental (crawlers, cameras, lasers), and a subscription/data management component via the Gemini platform. The company also offers bespoke design and engineering services for custom tooling development. Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting offshore oil & gas operators, FPSO operators, drilling contractors, marine operators, and offshore wind farm developers, with direct engagement through tenders and proposals. The company operates across major global energy hubs including the UK, Norway, the Netherlands, the Middle East (Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia), Australia, Nigeria, the Philippines, the USA, and France, deploying small 3-person teams to minimize personnel costs and risk. The firm holds ISO 9001 certification and has been recognized through industry awards in the Middle East region.

Core offering

AISUS provides remote inspection technologies and services for offshore energy infrastructure, delivering internal and external inspection, non-destructive testing (UT, PEC, Phased Array, ToFD, Laser Scanning), cleaning, and design/engineering. The company designs proprietary inspection tools (SIRIUS, SCORPIUS, AURIGA, MagCrawler, Hydrus, ORION) and rents third-party inspection equipment, supported by the Gemini cloud-based data management platform with AI/ML-powered predictive corrosion modeling.

Product overview

AISUS is an offshore inspection technology company offering a comprehensive suite of remote inspection solutions for the energy industry. The portfolio includes proprietary inspection tools (SIRIUS, SCORPIUS, AURIGA, ORION, Hydrus, MagCrawler) and rental equipment (crawlers, cameras, lasers), supported by the Gemini cloud-based data management platform with AI capabilities. Core services span Internal Inspection, External Inspection, Remote Visual Inspection, Cleaning and Surface Preparation, Design and Engineering, and Non-Destructive Testing (including UT, PEC, Phased Array, ToFD, and Laser Scanning). The products work together as an integrated system: proprietary inspection tools deployed on offshore structures collect data (video, imagery, ultrasonic measurements, 3D scans) which is transmitted to the Gemini platform for storage, analysis, predictive modeling, and reporting.

Broad incumbents

• Stork (a Fluor company): Dutch industrial services provider (now part of Fluor) offering inspection, maintenance, and integrity services to oil & gas, petrochemical, and power customers. Broader portfolio than AISUS but directly competes on offshore asset integrity and NDT scopes.
• Intertek: Global TIC (testing, inspection, certification) major providing asset integrity and NDT services across energy and infrastructure. A broad incumbent rather than a splash-zone specialist, but competes for similar inspection tenders with offshore operators.
