• The Asset Care division is mainly concerned with pipeline inspections all over the world. In addition to pipelines, the corporate group also inspects other industrial plants and systems, such as tank systems and pressure vessels, refineries, wind power plants, trains, or tankers. The required inspection devices – among other things, pigs for the internal and unmanned inspection of pipelines – are developed and manufactured inhouse.Frische, Tim-Oliver: Mit Nutzmolchen weltweit auf Pipeline-Tour. In: Deutsche Logistik-Zeitung, 18 September 2012. The big data volumes generated during an inspection are processed, analyzed, and provided to the customers for their decision-making process. The services offered exceed mere inspection and diagnosis. They also include the development of specific programs for maintenance and repair planning as well as for the integrity of technical plans and systems.
• The Enhanced Materials division deals with special plastics – such as polyurethanes or elastomers – in connection with sensor technology and monitoring electronics. Among other things, this division develops and produces special coatings for improved protection of pipes against corrosion, abrasion, or environmental impact. In addition, this division also develops so-called smart plastic systems: polyurethanes are equipped with sensors or electroactive polymers used for purposes of sensor technology, energy generation or actuator engineering.See also the corporate information on [http://www.rosen-group.com/global/solutions/products/intelligent-plastics.html Intelligent Plastic Systems], accessed on 30 March 2017.
