The deal, for an undisclosed sum, will enable Eserv to continue to drive international growth, augment the team and further expand the capabilities of their digital twin technology, AS-TEG.

Eserv’s engineering expertise and technology revolutionises how companies maintain complex industrial assets through utilising AS-TEG, its 3D digital twin software. Eserv’s 3D digital twins are precisely developed from assets in the field and are constructed to an engineering standard of accuracy which enables robust and reliable 3D analysis to be performed remotely.

AS-TEG also consolidates an asset’s various data feeds and sources into an independent platform generating a single source of truth, while enabling customers to retain control and visibility of asset data. AS-TEG is used by an increasing number of leading global energy companies and has proven to reduce onsite survey and inspection costs by up to 70% as well as the associated carbon footprint.
