Case Study: Cristal Global achieves £2.12M/year risk reduction and 56% fewer inspections with GE Digital Predix APM (Risk‑Based Inspection)

Cristal Global Reduces Risk, Saving £2.12 MM Per Year Using Risk Based Inspection

Cristal Global, the world’s second-largest producer of titanium dioxide, needed to meet evolving UK and corporate Process Safety Management (PSM) requirements (UKAS, COMAH, HSE) and to quantify the risk of not doing so. To address this, Cristal selected GE Digital’s Predix Asset Performance Management (Predix APM) to provide a risk‑based inspection (RBI) approach and satisfy IT, compliance, and mechanical‑integrity needs.

GE Digital implemented Predix APM’s RBI capability at Cristal’s Stallingborough site (with plans to expand), using a SaaS model integrated with existing systems and focusing inspections by criticality and just‑in‑time training. The solution reduced estimated risk of equipment failures by £2.12 MM per year, projected a 56% reduction in required inspections over 10 years, and delivered estimated inspection cost savings of £3.51 MM over 10 years.
