Precision Tools for Plant Uptime

Free, browser-based tools built for power plant operations, safety, and outage work. Train your people, plan your work, and learn from your events. Nothing to install, and your data stays on your computer.

Interactive Learning

Human Performance Programs

Our self-contained modules provide hands-on training for critical plant operations, supporting ongoing crew competency and safety standards.

Pre-Job Brief/JSA Builder

Causal Map

Wishbone Generator

Build a pre-job brief or job safety analysis for any task. Identify hazards, assign defenses, and print a finished brief for the crew.

A visual tool for event trending. Link events to their contributing factors to reveal the issues that keep showing up.

A cause-and-effect diagram builder for event investigations. Capture possible causes by category during a live session and produce a clean diagram for the report.

Interactive Learning

Operational Simulators

Our self-contained modules provide hands-on training for critical plant operations, supporting ongoing crew competency and safety standards.

LOTO Simulator

LOTO Boundary Builder

Electrical Balancing & Grid Stability

A hands-on lockout trainer. Execute a LOTO list across realistic plant systems and get scored on whether every energy source is isolated and verified.

A boundary-drawing exercise. Given a lockout request and a system drawing, identify the isolation and verification points needed to make the work safe.

Model power distribution and grid interactions to optimize electrical load balancing and prevent outages.

Interactive Learning

Outage and Contractor Management

Our self-contained modules provide hands-on training for critical plant operations, supporting ongoing crew competency and safety standards.

Outage Manager

Outage Map

T&M Calculator

An outage planning tool. Import work orders, schedule them across crews and shifts, and track contractors, permits, and milestones in one place.

A live site status board. Shows every contractor and active permit on a map of your facility, built for a touch-screen display.

A quick cost estimator for time-and-materials work. Enter labor hours, rates, and materials to get a clear total for budgeting or checking a contractor invoice.

On-Site Diagnostics

Instant Operational Insights

Fluid Dynamics Calculator

Analyze flow rates, pressure drops, and pipe sizing to optimize fluid transport efficiency in industrial pipelines.

Valve Fatigue Thresholds

Predict the lifespan and maintenance cycles for critical valves based on operational stress and material properties.

Heat Rate Degradation Analysis

Evaluate the efficiency of thermal power cycles and identify factors contributing to performance degradation over time.
