Inspections · Defects · Risk

Your ERP holds the work order. AMS holds what actually happened in the plant.

AMS is the inspection, defect and risk layer that runs on top of the maintenance system you already own — and hands the results back to it.

In production in multi-metals smelting in Australia, at a Queensland process plant, and in a commercial explosives business.

Where AMS sits Three layers. At the bottom, the maintenance system of record you already own, holding work orders, functional locations and the equipment master. Above it, AMS, holding inspections, defects and risk, and exchanging data with the system of record in both directions. At the top, the plant, where an inspector works on a phone that keeps running without a signal. THE PLANT Inspection round executed on the walkway Runs with no signal.

The gap

The work order exists. The condition of the asset does not.

Your maintenance system of record is good at planning and costing work. It was never built to hold what a tradesperson saw on a walkway at six in the morning. So that part of the job falls back to paper, spreadsheets and memory.

Inspection rounds live in spreadsheets

A round is authored once, printed, and then drifts. Nobody can tell you which version a crew actually ran last quarter, or what changed between them.

Defects found on paper never reach triage

A finding written on a clipboard has to be retyped by somebody, into something, before it becomes work. Most of the time it is not.

Risk is a matrix reviewed once a year

The scoring lives in a workbook owned by one engineer. It is not connected to anything measured, and it is out of date the week after the review.

How AMS is different

Three things, and we do not claim a fourth.

01

It sits on top, not in the way

AMS has no database of its own. Every read and write goes out over HTTP, and AMS publishes its own documented REST surface back. It is an overlay on the system of record, which means no migration and no rip-and-replace evaluation.

What it connects to

02

It works where there is no signal

The native mobile app caches master data to the phone, runs a complete inspection round offline, writes every answer to a local database, and uploads the queue when the network comes back.

How it behaves in the field

03

Your engineers configure it

Inspection rounds, question catalogues, site variants and risk formulas are authored in the product, not in our source code. A reliability engineer changes a round or a formula the same afternoon.

What it does

The part that closes the loop

A finding becomes triaged work without anyone retyping it.

This is the mechanism most inspection tools do not have. In AMS, a question can carry an action. When the answer meets the condition the action is configured for, AMS raises a defect notification automatically — and it arrives already populated.

  • The object part and damage code, taken from that equipment’s own catalogue
  • The priority the engineer set when the question was authored
  • The standing comments that belong with that kind of finding
  • The answer, the photo and the round it came from

The inspector taps one answer. A planner sees a properly coded notification. No clipboard, no re-keying, no translation loss in between.

Risk management

Risk scoring is arithmetic your own engineers own.

This is the deepest module in AMS. Risk variables are defined per site and evaluated with real formulas, not picked from a fixed template. Measurements are logged over time against equipment and locations, edited in bulk when a campaign lands, and rolled up into an assessment view.

Because the formula is configuration rather than code, changing how your site scores consequence or likelihood does not require us.

Look at the risk module

Shape of a risk grid. In AMS the score is whatever your own formula evaluates to.

Where it runs

Heavy industry, in the conditions heavy industry actually has.

We describe customer work the way we publish all of it: sector, asset estate and function. No names and no logos on a public page.

Multi-metals smelting

A smelting group operating in Australia. The deepest deployment: inspections and risk alongside a production SAP Plant Maintenance estate, Entra ID sign-in, and a dedicated mobile app for field crews.

Chemical and fertiliser processing

A continuous process plant in Queensland. Acid plant, utilities, water treatment, dosing and bunded areas — an estate where inspection evidence and risk scoring carry regulatory weight.

Mining and quarrying services

A commercial explosives business. Equipment that moves between customer sites, operated by crews who are rarely at a desk and often out of coverage.

On a public page, the sites speak for themselves. If you need a reference conversation during an evaluation, ask and we will tell you what we can arrange.
