Examination scheduling
Driven by the written scheme, so nobody maintains the calendar by hand.
Oil and gas
Software for plant where the examination is the licence to operate
Written schemes of examination, permits to work, and torque and pressure records that an assessor can follow. Here the paperwork is the condition of running.

What this is
The scheme sets the shape
For a qualifying pressure system the written scheme of examination decides what is examined, what damage is expected, by what method and at what maximum interval. Software that cannot carry those four things is a notes app.
Competence is a permission
A competent person has to be independent of operations and able to stop equipment being used. That is a role in the permission model.
Torque is a measurement
Bolted joints are tightened to a figure. Where a tool can supply that figure, it should.
Services
What we build for process operators
Permits to work
Issued, time-boxed, closed, with the trail attached to the equipment and the person.
Torque and pressure capture
Readings taken from the tool over Bluetooth and stored against the equipment.
Examination reports
Generated from what was captured, with the method and the interval shown.
Role and authority models
Including the role that can stop equipment being used, separated from the operating line.
Integration with the maintenance system
The result belongs in the CMMS.

What the written scheme demands
These four are not guidance, they are the structure of the record.
PSSR 2000, the written schemeA qualifying pressure system cannot be used before a written scheme of examination is in place and an examination has been carried out.
What the scheme has to specifyThe parts to be examined, the damage mechanism expected, the nature of the examination required, and the maximum interval between examinations.
The competent personCertifies or draws up the scheme and reports each examination. An in-house competent person should be independent of operating functions and able to stop equipment from being used.
Hazardous area constraintsWhere the equipment goes decides what hardware is allowed. That lands on the app before it lands on the engineer.
Case study
The nearest build we can show you
Test equipment, United Kingdom
Hydrajaws Limited
Different sector, adjacent skill: torque. A maker of portable testers arrived with an application nobody had documented. We rebuilt the environments, then shipped a free and a paid version with digital torque reading through the KTC SDK.

FAQs
What buyers ask first
Can the system hold our written schemes?
It has to. Parts, damage mechanism, method and maximum interval are the four fields everything else hangs off.
Can you read our torque and pressure tools?
Often, over Bluetooth or the maker SDK. Send us the model numbers and we will tell you which ones we can read.
How do you model the competent person?
As an authority in the permission model, separate from the operating line, including the ability to take equipment out of use.
Who owns the code and the cloud accounts?
You do, from the first commit. Repositories and cloud accounts stay in your name.
