Case Study: OneBridge achieves rapid, accurate pipeline inspections and improved safety with Microsoft Azure

Startup protects nation’s oil and gas pipeline infrastructure with advanced machine learning

OneBridge Solutions is a startup delivering Cognitive Integrity Management (CIM), a SaaS platform that uses machine learning to protect oil and gas pipeline infrastructure. The industry faces massive scale (millions of PIG inspection records across 2.8 million miles), inconsistent historical ILI data from many vendors, and manual Excel-based workflows—making it hard to match anomalies over time and avoid costly false-positive digs or catastrophic false-negative failures.

By running CIM on Microsoft Azure, OneBridge ingests and aligns ILI files in minutes (compared with eight-plus hours previously), uses Azure Machine Learning, SQL, and Power BI to predict anomaly growth and prioritize repairs, and offers enterprise-grade security and scalability. The solution has convinced large customers to adopt Azure, identified over 100 previously undetected accelerated-corrosion locations, reduced unnecessary excavations, and helped mitigate spill risk and associated costs.
