Scope Creep

Reporting and Documentation

Non-Productive Time (NPT)

Lack of clear boundaries leads to unplanned work. Requires frequent site visits to reassess changes.

Non-Productive Time (NPT)

Reporting and Documentation

Non-Productive Time (NPT)

Inspectors are idle due to poor scheduling or equipment delays. Delays onsite result in wasted hours and higher costs.

third party inspection

Reporting and Documentation

Onsite presence required for physical inspection, increasing travel costs. Limited tools for efficient oversight

Reporting and Documentation

Manual report generation is time-intensive and error-prone. Paper-based systems incur manual administration

Optimizations savings between 60-80%

First Pass Verification (FPV) – 75% Reduction in Document Review Time

Non-Conformance Report (NCR) Rework – 65–75% Reduction in Correction Cycles

Third Party Inspection (TPI) Costs – 40–70% Reduction in Inspection Hours

VMS AI OCR automates document validation. Suppliers upload certification directly into the portal, and our intelligent OCR engine extracts, validates, and cross-references every critical data point against PMITP requirements in seconds. What used to take a full day of manual review is now completed in under 10 minutes per asset.

Third Party Inspection (TPI) Costs – 40–70% Reduction in Inspection Hours

Inspectors are engaged only when equipment is truly ready. Onsite inspection time is spent on physical verification—not administrative paperwork. Additionally, remote video verification (RVS) allows some inspections to be witnessed offsite, further reducing the need for physical attendance.

Non-Productive Time (NPT) – 70–80% Reduction in Mobilisation Delays

Non-Conformance Report (NCR) Rework – 65–75% Reduction in Correction Cycles

VMS provides real-time visibility of asset compliance status through live traffic-light indicators. Automated 90-day expiry alerts ensure certification is renewed well before it becomes critical. PMITP requirements are issued to suppliers upfront—so they know exactly what's required from the start. FPV catches issues early, when they're cheap to fix, and before assets are mobilised.

Non-Conformance Report (NCR) Rework – 65–75% Reduction in Correction Cycles

Suppliers receive instant, actionable feedback and can correct issues immediately. Automated remediation workflows track corrections and re-validations without additional administrative burden. The result is significantly fewer rework cycles and faster TPI clearance.

we are commitment to Regulation and National Priorities

VMS Commitment to Regulation and National Priorities

VMS enhances inspection and maintenance programs by enabling detailed tracking of inspections, repairs, and maintenance schedules for Hazardous Area (HA) infrastructure—supporting long-term safety and environmental performance. The platform improves data transparency and planning, allowing operators to prioritise high-risk sites and maintain compliance. It also supports collaboration by aligning with regulatory requirements, enabling organisations to build safety cases that address both physical and psychosocial risks. This fosters a proactive safety culture and ensures accountability across teams.

Verification of Competency (VOC) Personnel

The Verification of Competency (VOC) Database enables organisations to track, verify, and manage workforce competency. It streamlines training, certification, and field audits while delivering real-time performance insights. This all-in-one platform ensures only qualified personnel are deployed, enhancing safety, compliance, and efficiency across high-risk projects and operations.

Incorporations of Remote Video Surveillance Technology

VMS seamlessly integrates with RealWear’s rugged, voice-activated headset platform, purpose-built for technical personnel operating in high-risk and remote environments. This hands-free solution enables real-time collaboration with remote engineering support and subject matter experts (SMEs), allowing for the verification of critical inspection activities during the Asset Management and Overhaul (AMO) process—without requiring physical presence on site. This enhances operational efficiency, reduces travel costs, and ensures compliance is maintained under even the most demanding conditions.

we can do better

In 2018 NOPSEMA held a workshop with industry to review a series of significant safety risk gaps that were found with third party equipment installed on MODUs for the handling hydrocarbons at surface. As an opportunity for improvement identified during the workshop APPEA has agreed to produce and publish this guideline to promote a more effective approach toward Temporary Equipment preparation and installation on a MODU operating in Australian waters.

The purpose of this document is to provide:

context and further definition of local requirements
consistent definitions in relation to temporary equipment installations
clear understanding of roles and responsibilities
an example workflow that will promote effective assurance that equipment and systems are suitable for the intended use.

Expertise in Verification

Legacy systems—dependent on spreadsheets, manual audits, and fragmented workflows—are no longer sufficient to support modern, complex industrial environments.

VMS responded by creating a digital ecosystem that ensures precision, accountability, and real-time connectivity across both equipment and workforce operations.

Enhanced Inspection & Maintenance Programs
Data Transparency & Risk Prioritisation
Verification of Personnel Competency (VOC)

Together, the REPLM and VOC systems provide a scalable, cloud-based foundation for enhancing operational efficiency, reducing cost, and ensuring full compliance across the energy, infrastructure, and industrial sectors.
