In the chemical industry, maintenance is a prerequisite for approved operation. Three problems make it riskier than necessary.
Chemical industry
Safe and digital control of maintenance in the chemical industry
Pressure equipment, explosion-hazard areas and water-hazardous installations each come with their own deadlines. SIMPL keeps them together and documents every measure.
Safety-relevant, but organizationally overloaded
Every type of installation has its own deadlines, pressure, explosion protection and WHG run separately
After a repair it is unclear whether re-inspection is required
Records are on paper, even though the authorities can demand them
Safety and availability in the same system
A digital foundation for every installation in the plant. Deadlines accrue, measures are documented.
Inspection deadlines stored per installation type, including responsibility for the inspection
Repairs documented, so that changes requiring inspection are not overlooked
Records stored electronically throughout the entire service life of the installation
What SIMPL can specifically do in the chemical industry
From the installation file to the record you can present to the authorities.
Asset file
Every installation with a history over its entire service life
A QR code on the installation. Your maintenance technician scans it and sees the installation type, last inspection and open measures.
Installation type, zone and safety classification per equipment
Inspection certificates, maintenance history and documents on the installation
Traceable who carried out which measure and when
„We now capture customer inquiries and orders, including all relevant service reports and maintenance logs, centrally in a single solution.“
Inspection deadlines & maintenance plans
Pressure, explosion protection and WHG in one overview
Every installation type comes with its own deadlines and its own inspection responsibility. SIMPL records both per installation.
Own deadlines per installation, from the pressure vessel to the gas warning device
Stored whether a ZÜS or a qualified person must carry out the inspection
Overdue inspections visible early
Repair & change requiring inspection
Don’t simply restart after the repair
A repair can affect safety and thereby trigger an inspection itself. SIMPL keeps this traceable.
Capture fault reports and repairs centrally
Measure documented, so that the assessment remains traceable
Create and track the follow-up inspection as a separate task
Mobile feedback
Documentation at the installation, even in the explosion-hazard area
Work through the checklist, record measurements and photos, document the release. Even offline in the installation area.
Checklist per installation type instead of a general paper form
Only schedule employees with the appropriate qualification, proof is in their app
Offline-capable, even in installation areas without reception
Records & authorities
Documents you can present on request
Work carried out must be documented and presented to the authorities on request. In SIMPL it is immediately findable.
Inspection and maintenance records stored electronically per installation
Traceable throughout the entire service life of the installation
Export reports for internal audits and records for authorities

No preparation needed, just bring your questions
Frequently asked questions: maintenance software in the chemical industry
What does maintenance software bring in the chemical industry?
SIMPL bundles inspection deadlines, maintenance history, repairs and records in one place per installation. Overdue inspections become visible early, feedback is created at the installation, and the documents are findable when an audit or authority asks for them.
How do I manage inspection deadlines for pressure equipment, explosion-hazard areas and WHG installations?
Every installation gets its own deadline, matching the installation type. Because pressure equipment, installations in explosion-hazard areas and water-hazardous installations differ in deadlines and responsibilities, you store both per installation and see all due dates in one overview.
What happens if a repair triggers a re-inspection?
Under the Industrial Safety Regulation (Betriebssicherheitsverordnung), a repair can also be a change requiring inspection if it affects safety. In SIMPL the measure carried out is documented and the resulting inspection can be created as a separate task, so that it is not missed before recommissioning. The technical assessment remains with you.
May we keep inspection records purely electronically?
Yes. The Industrial Safety Regulation (Betriebssicherheitsverordnung) explicitly permits the documentation of inspections in electronic form, and it must be retained for the service life of the installation. The installation file is built exactly for this, so that records stay with the installation over the years instead of in changing folders.
Can we record who is authorized to inspect which installation type?
Yes. Qualifications, training and certificates can be recorded per employee, and the employee can present them in their app. This is helpful because the requirements for the qualified person differ depending on the installation type, for example with explosion-protected equipment compared to pressure equipment.
How do we connect SIMPL to SAP or another ERP?
Your ERP remains the master for master data and procurement, SIMPL becomes the operational maintenance layer and can be connected. If you first want to pilot one installation area, a start via Excel import without a connection is also possible.
Intuitive operation that works immediately
SIMPL is built so that technicians, service managers and workshop teams can start working with it immediately – without lengthy training and without being overwhelmed.
Offline capability for your technicians
Technicians can capture orders, forms and photos completely offline – everything is synchronized automatically as soon as a connection is available again.
Made & Hosted in Germany
Your data is stored in certified German data centers. Perfect for machine builders and industrial companies with high compliance requirements.
