A pioneering Aberdeen software company will unveil its latest energy industry innovation at a prestigious international conference next week (April 27-29).

Motion Software is showcasing its MI2 product, which captures data at the point of inspection, at the 15th North Sea Cranes and Lifting event at Aberdeen’s Exhibition and Conference Centre.

The conference and exhibition attracts some of the most influential players in the offshore lifting and materials handling sector – a key audience for Motion’s latest development which offers a safer, more efficient and cost-effective inspections solution.

Motion Software’s inspections toolkit is already used by lifting inspection industry workers and the company has now pioneered hand-held devices to capture data on site – even in hazardous zones offshore.

Motion, which offers bespoke and customised software, has also highlighted its expertise to the globally-recognised industry body LEEA, the Lifting Equipment Engineers Association and SAFed, the Safety Assessment Federation. And Microsoft has tested and approved the MI2 for the oil and gas industry.

Stephen Burt, Managing Director of Motion Software, said: “We recognised that swift, accurate inspection data is a vital business requirement and looked at how we could capture that information on-the-spot as inspections were being carried out.

“These devices were have been piloted and brought to the marketplace where they are being used by a number of engineers, across multiple platforms, in the North Sea’s UK sector .”

Such work must comply with LOLER (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations) and the advantage of Motion Software’s mobile devices is that data, which traditionally was paper-based or had to be logged on a separate computer at a later date, can now be input during inspection, helping to streamline the compliance process.
