PSV & IC: Digitalising PSV inspections and instrument calibration in Industry 4.0

Pressure Safety Valve (PSV) inspections and instrument calibration (IC) are vital for maintaining the integrity and performance of safety-critical systems. Traditional manual calculations and paper-based workflows are not only time-consuming but also prone to inconsistencies and risk. Our PSV & IC application fully digitalises this process, ensuring accuracy, traceability, and operational efficiency from start to finish.

Designed with precision, powered by automation
Developed in close collaboration with field technicians and Quality Assurance (QA) engineers, the application is centred around user needs and tackles common industry challenges—manual deviation calculations, error-prone documentation, and inefficient QA workflows. Equipped with built-in intelligence, the application streamlines the entire QA process, facilitating a seamless, fully digital workflow.

All-in-one solution
The PSV & IC application is tailored for pressure safety valve inspections, functional testing, instrument calibration across various parameters such as pressure, temperature, flow, and level. The application automatically calculates deviations based on asset-specific tolerances and provides real-time non-conformance alerts and recommendations. With its adaptability to various standards and equipment types, the application ensures that inspection quality remains consistent, regardless of the scope.

Optimising efficiency and reducing costs through digitalisation
Dashboards provide real-time visibility into inspections, deviations, trends, QA status, and overdue actions, empowering clients to proactively manage operations. By enabling seamless integration with systems like Excel, Power BI, and maintenance platforms, the application supports both one-way and two-way data exchanges, aligning inspection and calibration data with your broader maintenance strategy.

This digital solution drives significant operational savings by reducing manual intervention, minimising errors, and improving workflow efficiency. Real-time insights allow for predictive maintenance, reducing costly downtime and unplanned repairs, while also lowering overall OPEX. By streamlining processes and providing data-driven decision-making capabilities, the solution helps optimise asset lifecycles, ultimately contributing to a lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

Built-In QA workflow
The PSV & IC application has a robust QA process, including reviewer sign-off, approval workflows, QA tracking, and status flags. All actions are logged and traceable, ensuring compliance with standards such as API, ISO, and client-specific protocols, keeping the process audit-ready at all times. Email alerts for declined items and items ready for QA are designed to avoid alert fatigue, supporting an efficient workflow.

Improving safety, enhancing reliability
By enabling timely inspections, automating deviation analysis, and ensuring thorough QA documentation, the PSV & IC application helps reduce the risk of equipment failure, downtime, and non-compliance. It empowers technicians to work smarter while giving managers the data needed to make proactive, informed decisions.

PSV & IC is part of Axess Group’s inspection software suite, Bridge, an all-in-one solution for comprehensive asset integrity management. Bridge also includes other applications, such as eDROPS, EQUIP, NDT, 3DView, EX, Pipe, and more, offering a fully integrated approach to asset integrity management.
