BSI software
TRACE. Trending, Reporting, Analysis & Condition Evaluation.
The industry-leading NDT data platform, built by BSI in the field. Used to deliver BSI's own DATO work, and leased by NDT contractors as their data collection and reporting platform.
The problem
The data exists. Using it is the problem.
Inspection data lives in whatever format and software the NDT contractor uses. Stay with one contractor forever and the history holds together. Change contractors, and years of data become something nobody can read against what comes next.
Contractor software does some of what a mill needs. It was not built for the mill's side of the problem, and it was never meant to make one contractor's data work with another's.
TRACE standardizes the data so it stays usable no matter who collected it.
What TRACE does
Built for the side of the problem the mill owns.
Trending across outages
Readings sit against the history for the same location, so change over time is visible instead of reconstructed.
Reporting mills can read
Output written for the people planning the work. Not a data dump, and not a format that needs a specialist to interpret.
Forecasting
Where the unit will be, not just where it is now. Mills plan repairs and capital against the forecast instead of against the last reading.
Standardized data, one place
Every contractor's data normalized to one format, and exports standardized so any contractor can work with them going forward.
TRACE catches data errors
Suspect readings, missing data, and inconsistencies get flagged for verification instead of flowing silently into a report. A bad number is caught while it can still be checked, not after a decision has been made on it.
For mills
TRACE is how BSI hands the data back.
When BSI runs DATO on your outage, TRACE is the delivery. We are on site with the NDT contractors while the readings come in, verifying them against the history for the same locations while the crew and the scaffold are still there.
What reaches your engineering team is verified data in a format they can act on, with the history already attached. No rekeying, and no waiting until the unit is back up to find out something was collected wrong.
For NDT contractors
TRACE is available to lease.
Run your own collection, analysis, and reporting on TRACE. It is the same platform BSI trusts for its own work, leased to you to use as your tool on your jobs.
The value is plain. Your mill clients get better deliverables, with trending and reporting already built, and you did not have to build software to get there.
Licensing inquiries are welcome.
