Crane and guard rounds, signed per shift
Crane, guard, and equipment rounds run as guided inspections to OSHA 1910.179 and ASME B30.2, captured offline behind the compressor house and signed off per shift.
Industry
The line stops where the record stopped. Keep both running.
Plant engineers keep boilers, cranes, vessels, and steam piping inspected and defensible on one record, whether the site answers to ASME and OSHA or EN 13445 and the PED.

Shift evidence loop
Quality gets the audits. Fixed equipment takes the plant down.
The boiler room, the compressor house, and the crane rail rarely make the quality manual, but they write the downtime report. intelliSPEC gives them the same evidence discipline.

Where the risk lives
Quality gets the audits. Fixed equipment takes the plant down.
The boiler room, the compressor house, and the crane rail rarely make the quality manual, but they write the downtime report. intelliSPEC gives them the same evidence discipline.
Thinning caught as a trend, not a failure
UT thickness on drums, headers, and ASME B31.1 steam piping feeds corrosion rate and remaining life, so thinning shows up as a trend, not a failure.
The vessel call, made before the inspector asks
API 580 and 581 risk-based inspection and API 579 fitness-for-service turn readings into a documented run, repair, or replace call before the jurisdictional inspector asks.
LOTO tied to the equipment it protects
Lockout tagout under 29 CFR 1910.147, permits, JSAs, and the PSM 1910.119 audit trail stay tied to the equipment they protect.
One asset, one day
Follow an air receiver from the floor to the audit.
The same record moves through three sets of hands without being retyped once.
06:00. Capture.
A millwright opens the receiver's inspection on a tablet with no signal behind the compressor house. Photos, gauge readings, and UT points go in offline and sync at the door.
10:00. Verdict.
New thickness readings recompute corrosion rate and remaining life. The receiver either holds its NBIC interval or gets flagged for repair, with the work order already routed to the planner.
Audit day. Proof.
When the state boiler inspector or the ISO 9001 auditor arrives, the receiver's full history exports in one query. Readings, verdicts, signatures, timestamps.
Proof path
Decide before the shutdown decides for you.
Bring one vessel class and we will map capture, verdict, and proof end to end.
01
intelliNDT computes corrosion rate and remaining life from UT readings on ASME B31.1 steam piping and NBIC NB-23 vessels.
02
intelliCOMPLY holds the 29 CFR 1910.147 lockout trail and the 1910.119 PSM audit record against the equipment they protect.
03
intelliINTEGRITY documents run, repair, or replace under API 580, API 581, and API 579 before the shutdown window opens.
Answers
Manufacturing questions
Does intelliSPEC support NBIC NB-23 inspection records for boilers and air receivers?
Yes. In-service inspections, UT readings, and repairs are held per vessel with its inspection interval, so the record the Authorized Inspector reviews is complete when they arrive. intelliSPEC keeps the evidence; the jurisdictional inspection itself stays with the inspector.
What software do manufacturing plants use for OSHA lockout tagout records?
Plants run 29 CFR 1910.147 lockout tagout in intelliCOMPLY, with each isolation captured against the specific machine, the authorized employee, and the annual procedure review. The audit trail assembles per asset instead of per binder.
How do overhead crane inspections work in intelliSPEC?
Frequent and periodic crane inspections under OSHA 1910.179 and ASME B30.2 run as guided checklists in intelliINSPECT, tied to the specific crane with photos and sign-off. Deficiencies route to a corrective action with an owner and a closeout date.
Can intelliSPEC track wall thinning on steam piping and boiler tubes?
Yes. intelliNDT holds UT thickness readings against ASME B31.1 piping and boiler pressure parts, computes corrosion rate and remaining life from the history, and flags circuits approaching retirement thickness.
Does intelliSPEC cover process safety management under 29 CFR 1910.119?
For covered processes, mechanical integrity inspections, permits, incident records, and audit findings are held on one PSM trail in intelliCOMPLY. intelliSPEC organizes the record and does not certify PSM compliance on your behalf.
How does intelliSPEC help a plant keep ISO 9001 audit evidence?
Every inspection, reading, corrective action, and approval carries user, timestamp, and signature, so the documented evidence an ISO 9001 audit expects exports as one query instead of a month-end assembly. The platform holds the record; it does not issue the certification.
Does it work for plants running EN standards and the PED outside the US?
Yes. A European site can map pressure equipment checks to EN 13445 and the Pressure Equipment Directive while a US plant runs the same record against ASME and OSHA, with one audit trail across both, online or offline.
