The Association for Materials Protection and Performance (AMPP) is the world’s leading authority on corrosion control and protective coatings. With members in over 150 countries, AMPP unites industry professionals, researchers, and standards developers to advance materials performance across critical sectors including defense, energy, transportation, and manufacturing. Through innovative certifications, global standards, and cutting-edge training, AMPP is committed to ensuring the safety, security, and sustainability of infrastructure worldwide.
AMPP’s legacy of technical leadership spans nearly 150 years, stemming from the merger of two renowned organizations: NACE International and SSPC. Today, AMPP serves more than 36,000 members, offering a strong foundation in global standards development, professional certification, and workforce education focused on materials protection and performance.
In recent years, AMPP has expanded its strategic focus to include emerging technologies that support digital transformation in high-consequence industries. Recognizing the value of augmented reality (AR) in enhancing training, inspection, and maintenance workflows, AMPP has joined AREA to collaborate with leading innovators and enterprise adopters who are advancing scalable AR solutions.
AMPP’s work with military, energy, and maritime partners positions the organization to contribute unique insights to the development of AR-enabled best practices, particularly in asset management, corrosion mitigation, and workforce development. Through AREA, AMPP aims to help shape interoperable AR frameworks that deliver measurable improvements in performance and safety across various sectors.
AR offers powerful, scalable solutions to some of the most pressing challenges in infrastructure protection and performance. From accelerating workforce training to improving inspection accuracy and enabling real-time remote support, AR aligns with AMPP’s mission to advance safety, security, and sustainability across critical sectors.
As industries face increasing complexity, labor shortages, and the need for greater operational efficiency, AR provides a transformative bridge between technical expertise and field execution. By exploring AR’s potential, AMPP is helping its members integrate emerging technologies that enhance asset integrity, reduce risk, and support digital transformation, while maintaining alignment with global standards and certification practices.
Organizations of all sizes are tapping into the potential of rapidly expanding and converging AR fields and communication channels to visualize data and instructions overlaying digital assets in the real world in real time.
