The hidden tax in every inspection report
On every vessel, an inspector reads the plate, types the report, and re-keys the register. It’s slow, repetitive, and every keystroke is a fresh chance to transpose a digit in a number that matters.
The inspector reads a stamped or painted nameplate by eye — CRN, MAWP, MDMT, materials, thicknesses, serials.
Hand-keys two dozen fields into a report template — every keystroke a fresh chance to transpose a digit.
Types the same identity again into a tracking spreadsheet — and again for each relief-valve tag.
Capture once. It flows everywhere.
PlateLogic extracts the fields, validates them against code rules, and fills both your report and your asset register — from a single capture.
Structured fields fill in automatically, validated against code rules.
Set pressure, capacity, orifice, model & serial — captured per valve.
Photos, CAD/PDF drawings, MDRs, NDE requests or completed reports.
Guided API 510 / 653 checklist with smart comments and photos.
Every inspection appends a row — with prior-inspection look-ups.
Capture everything offline on a phone, then hand off to the desktop.
How the system fits together
There is no cloud service in the middle. The desktop launches the engine automatically and it listens only on the local machine.
Photograph plates & valves, run on-device OCR, and complete the checklist — fully offline.
Review extracted data, write the report, manage the register, and import the phone’s captures.
Image clean-up, document parsing, report fill and Excel export — all on your machine.
Everything stays on your machine. The engine is never exposed to the network, and the desktop is fully usable on its own — an inspector working from photos at their desk never has to touch the phone.
Several OCR engines read each image in parallel and vote on every field. The confidence-weighted winner is shown with how many engines agreed — and it only wins if it passes the rules of the code.
Open any photo, PDF or report — the image sits beside an editable field grid you confirm at a glance, each field carrying its own confidence cue and the engines that agreed.
Report Writer
A guided VE/VI checklist that switches between API 510 and API 653 by equipment type, with an asset-aware library that turns a rating into finished language.
Pick vessel or tank and the form switches between the API 510 and API 653 items. Rate each item Good / Fair / Poor / N-A, then stack pre-written, condition-specific comments — no blank-page writing.
Drag in photos, caption and tag each one, and they flow into the report’s photo table in order. Every confirmed inspection appends one row to your Excel register — append-only, with prior-inspection look-ups.

Pair & hand off over Wi-Fi
The phone reads the data plate instantly — fully offline — and pre-fills the nameplate fields.
No legible plate? Read static data off a UT drawing or a prior report to fill the blanks.
The desktop shows a QR; the phone scans it once to exchange address, token and certificate.
The link is TLS-encrypted, certificate-pinned and token-authenticated — on your own Wi-Fi.
Local-first, private by design
No cloud account. OCR and reporting run on your PC, and the engine listens only on local loopback — never exposed to the network.
The engine runs on your PC and listens only on local loopback — never exposed to the network.
Report formats ship as tamper-evident packs: AES-256-GCM, an Ed25519 signature and a SHA-256 hash per template.
Everything the app learns stays local and out of synced folders — it never leaks into cloud drives or deliverables.
The field hand-off is TLS-encrypted, certificate-pinned and token-authenticated — over your own Wi-Fi.
Inspection records are added, never silently overwritten — preserving an audit trail and prior-inspection compare.
Reports, photos and the register are ordinary files in your own user folders — protected by your disk and account.
The payoff
Illustrative — data-transcription time only; savings scale with your volume.
Pricing
One product, three tiers — customisation is a bounded setup fee, never open-ended labour.
