Big changes are on the way in the petroleum industry. Soon, a new player will help detect pipeline corrosion: robots.
Dianna Liu, a former ExxonMobil worker and now Yale School of Management student, founded the company ARIX Technologies with recent Yale graduates Petter Wehlin (17) and Bryan Duerfeldt (17) to explore how robotics and predictive analytics technology could be tapped for the petroleum industry.
“Like any large company that deals with operations… [the petroleum industry] is very dangerous, and they prioritize safety,” said Liu. However, the limited technology exists to ensure the safety of workers searching for corrosion in the pipelines that carry petroleum. Liu, who previously interned in a biomedical company, was inspired by how technology has improved the quality of medicine and was wanted to apply technology to the petroleum industry as well.
