Acquisition brings mechanical integrity, risk-based inspection, NDT field data, and intelligent drawings into Prometheus Group’s connected EAM platform 

RALEIGH, N.C. — August 5, 2026 — Prometheus Group, a global leader in AI-enhanced enterprise asset management (EAM) and asset performance management software, today announced that it has completed the acquisition of VisualAIM’s business assets: integrated software solutions for industrial asset management, mechanical integrity, intelligent P&IDs, and inspection workflow optimization. The addition of VisualAIM's capabilities broadens Prometheus Group's asset performance management offering for industrial operators. 

For asset-intensive organizations, asset performance is about predicting failures before they impact operations or safety. Business Research Insights found that over 61% of industrial executives rank predictive maintenance among their top three operational priorities, and companies deploying advanced monitoring platforms have cut unplanned outages by roughly 30% and maintenance waste by 18%. VisualAIM’s platform advances Prometheus Group’s asset performance management system by allowing teams to manage mechanical integrity programs, inspection history, risk-based inspection workflows, non-destructive testing data, and intelligent drawings across complex industrial facilities.

What This Acquisition Means for Customers

“Our customers are managing some of the most complex, highly regulated assets in the world, and they need a better way to view the full asset lifecycle,” said Jeff Kinard, Executive Vice President of Corporate Development at Prometheus Group. “With VisualAIM, we now offer a fully realized APM solution by combining their mechanical integrity and inspection capabilities with RapidAPM’s predictive analytics.”  

This acquisition is particularly important for industries such as oil and gas, chemicals, energy, manufacturing, and other process sectors. In these fields, mechanical integrity programs are vital for ensuring asset performance; however, many organizations frequently handle inspection and integrity data scattered across legacy systems, spreadsheets, document repositories, and disconnected workflows.  

“Mechanical integrity has always been where engineering, safety, compliance, and maintenance come together,” said Brendan Meutzner, Managing Director of the VisualAIM business. “Joining Prometheus Group gives VisualAIM customers access to a larger global platform while preserving the practical, field-focused approach that made our software valuable in the first place. Together, we can help customers modernize mechanical integrity and turn inspection data into better operating decisions.” 

VisualAIM customers are able to contract a wider scope of services from Prometheus Group’s connected EAM platform, including ERP-integrated solutions spanning planning and scheduling, asset performance, shutdowns and turnarounds, process safety, electronic permitting, reporting, mobility, contractor management, capital projects, master data, and procurement.

Key Features of the VisualAIM Platform

  • The VisualAIM platform’s Mechanical Integrity Suite gives fixed-equipment teams a structured system for inspection history, corrosion logic, condition monitoring locations, remaining-life calculations, equipment documentation, and risk-based inspection planning.  
  • Its Inspection Workflow tools help field teams capture inspection and NDT data from assignment through approval.  
  • Its Intelligent Drawing Platform connects assets, drawings, records, and operational data, so teams can find critical information in context.
  • Aligned with key American Petroleum Institute (API) standards, including API 581 and API 580 for risk-based inspection framework, methodology, and quantitative RBI calculations. 

Prometheus Group's Acquisition Strategy

The acquisition follows Prometheus Group’s recent expansion across planning, scheduling, mobility, and procurement, through acquisitions including Actenum, Webalo, and Tamarack. VisualAIM’s business assets extend that strategy into mechanical integrity and asset lifecycle intelligence, giving customers a broader platform for managing the full life of critical industrial assets. 

Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
