IMS PEI

IMS PEI (Pressure Equipment Integrity) is a module of Cenosco's IMS Suite. Cenosco and Shell built the suite together over about 20 years, and Cenosco took full ownership of its IP in a deal announced in December 2023 and closed in January 2024. The module runs a degradation management workflow that decides which pressure and civil equipment to inspect and when, records results in an equipment condition history, and keeps an audit trail. It covers an equipment register and asset hierarchy, corrosion loops, CML and thickness data, inspection schedules that generate the next due date automatically, and RBI. RBI can use Shell's semi-quantitative S-RBI method or API 581, in qualitative through fully quantitative forms. The module also offers corrosion rate prediction, a corrosion management framework fed by data historians, lifecycle cost calculations, dashboards and 2D/3D visualization. Field inspectors use IMS4Field, an offline checklist app that syncs with IMS. The software suits refineries, LNG plants, chemical sites and upstream operators that run formal inspection programs. Named users include Tüpraş, NAM, Thaioil and Egyptian LNG. It interfaces with SAP, JD Edwards and Maximo for maintenance execution. It is sold as SaaS on Microsoft Azure, with shared, dedicated or on-premise hosting. Pricing is quote-based, and Cenosco sells implementation, data migration and integration services alongside it. The main limitation is that it is a specialist integrity tool, not a full CMMS. Maintenance work is usually executed in a connected ERP. There is also almost no independent user review data, so buyers have to rely on vendor case studies and references.
