The integration of this platform allows Vopak to optimize its existing maintenance programs significantly. Using advanced analytics and digital databases, the platform provides long-term predictions for tank maintenance. This proactive approach to maintenance helps assure tank integrity, critical for the safety standards expected in the industry.

Falcker has established itself as a leader in digital inspection and maintenance software solutions, specifically targeting the tank storage sector. Their platform benefits from modern technology, employing cloud-based solutions, digital twins, and automated inspection tools. The result is a system that not only facilitates predictive maintenance but also extends asset lifecycles for industrial operators around the globe.
