Baker Hughes Installs Antea’s Mechanical Integrity Features in Cordant APM

Last week, Baker Hughes integrated Antea’s mechanical integrity (MI) features into its Cordant Asset Performance Management (APM) software. The updated software, available in Q1 2026, significantly expands Cordant’s functionality and provides users access to improved asset health, safety, and performance management across intricate energy and industrial operations. The initial integration includes several benefits, such as:

• Improved asset reliability and safety by guaranteeing that critical equipment—such as pressure vessels, piping, and turbomachinery—is inspected, monitored, and maintained with adherence to regulatory and engineering standards.
• Optimized maintenance strategies and minimized OPEX by integrating MI data into Cordant APM’s digital ecosystem. Cordant Asset Strategy users can leverage enriched data to transfer from time-based to condition-based maintenance, allowing targeted interventions and extending asset lifecycle.
• Persona-driven workflows that acknowledge operational roles. MI inspectors will use Antea’s specialized interface, while strategy and performance teams access MI data within Cordant to inform asset strategy refreshes. This approach supports data-driven decision making without interrupting current workflows.

“We remain committed to continuously investing in and evolving Cordant to meet the growing complexity of energy and industrial operations,” said Aravind Yarlagadda, Senior Vice President, Industrial Solutions at Baker Hughes. “The integration of Antea’s mechanical integrity capabilities enables more holistic, data-driven decision making that empowers our customers to optimize performance, enhance safety, and drive sustainable outcomes.”

Cordant APM is a modular, AI-enabled industrial enterprise software that optimizes assets, processes, and energy usage at varying scales. The software serves as a digital thread across operations which automates decision-making, improves reliability, and supports sustainability by elevating operational data from plant-level equipment to make enterprise-wide impacts. Accenture will perform systems integration, using its domain expertise in mechanical integrity and industrial asset management to ensure seamless customer experience.

“This alliance marks a significant step for asset integrity management,” said Floyd Baker, Vice President of Antea. “By integrating Antea’s 36 years of expertise in MI with the Baker Hughes Cordant solution, we can create a seamless bridge between inspection data and enterprise decision making. Together, we help operators enhance reliability, safety, and sustainability while supporting the workflows of inspectors, engineers, and asset managers.”

Antea’s MI capabilities showcase the company’s expertise in risk-based inspection, pipeline integrity, and inspection planning. With these features, Baker Hughes’ Cordant APM will link inspection data to asset strategy and performance, providing operators with better insights and increased informed decision-making.

Cordant Installation for Sinochem

In April 2025, Sinochem contracted Baker Hughes to install its Cordant Asset Health digital solution at 10 chemical production facilities in China. This provides Sinochem’s diagnostics teams with centralized rotating equipment data to minimize unplanned downtime, identify failures proactively, and reduce production losses across the portfolio. With data organized in the cloud, Cordant Asset Health will improve overall visibility and collaboration.

Sinochem will leverage unified turbomachinery data to develop and scale best practices, apply operational learnings, enhance asset performance, and establish efficiencies at the highest organizational level. This agreement represents Baker Hughes’ first high-level Cordant deployment in China and aligns with the company’s goal to expand into the chemical and industrial markets.
