Baker Hughes has announced the integration of Antea’s mechanical integrity (MI) capabilities into its Cordant™ Asset Performance Management (APM) software. This integration will be generally available in 1Q26 and marks a significant expansion of Cordant’s functionality, enabling customers to better manage asset health, safety, and performance across complex energy and industrial operations.

Cordant is a modular, AI-enabled industrial enterprise solution that optimises assets, processes, and energy use at scale. Acting as a digital thread across operations, Cordant automates decision-making, enhances reliability, and supports sustainability. The integration underscores Baker Hughes’ commitment to innovation and collaboration, expanding the Cordant portfolio to meet evolving customer needs across the energy and industrial landscape.

By embedding Antea’s technology into Cordant APM, Baker Hughes will deliver an enhanced digital solution that links inspection data directly to asset strategy and performance – empowering operators with deeper insights and more informed decision-making.

Key benefits of the initial integration include:

  • Enhanced asset reliability and safety by ensuring that critical equipment – such as pressure vessels, piping, and rotating equipment – is inspected, monitored, and maintained in alignment with regulatory and engineering standards.
  • Optimised maintenance strategies and reduced OPEX through the integration of MI data into Cordant’s digital ecosystem. Cordant Asset Strategy users can now leverage enriched data to shift from time-based to condition-based maintenance, enabling more targeted interventions and extending asset life.
  • Persona-driven workflows that respect operational roles: MI inspectors continue to use Antea’s specialised interface, while strategy and performance teams access enriched MI data within Cordant to inform asset strategy refreshes. This supports more holistic, data-driven decision making without disrupting existing workflows.

Accenture is supporting the project as systems integrator, leveraging its global capabilities and domain expertise in MI and industrial asset management to ensure customer experience.

“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 optimise performance, enhance safety, and drive sustainable outcomes.”

“This alliance marks a significant step for asset integrity management,” said Floyd Baker, Vice President of Antea. “By integrating Antea’s expertise in MI with the Baker Hughes Cordant solution, we can create a bridge between inspection data and enterprise decision making.”
