Govern & Trace for Special Purpose Machinery
Trace Every Machine, Concept to Service
A custom machine’s story does not end at commissioning. Govern & Trace for Special Purpose Machinery (SPM) equips your engineering teams to prove, throughout the machine’s life, that every requirement was met, every configuration is known, and every compliance record can be produced on demand.
Govern & Trace for SPM brings together requirement traceability, configuration control, BoM governance, safety file management and service intelligence, the record-keeping that connects design intent to what was actually built, shipped and maintained. Requirement traceability and configuration control keep design, build and service data consistent for every machine, even when customer options create many similar but non-identical builds. BoM governance keeps parts and revisions synchronised across engineering, procurement and service, while safety file management structures the CE technical files and declaration inputs that EU-bound machines require under Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230. Service intelligence then closes the loop, feeding field data back into design and maintenance decisions.
The result: a defensible, auditable record for every machine you build, ready for customer review, regulatory audit or field service, whenever it’s needed.
Configuration Control
Control configuration across design, build and service
Configuration Control captures exactly what was designed, built, shipped, installed and serviced so every machine’s state is discoverable and defensible. For SPM, where customer options, tooling, software and recipes create many similar but non‑identical machines, configuration control prevents costly mix‑ups and supports fast, correct service responses.
We maintain as‑designed, as‑built, as‑installed and as‑maintained records, track serials, revisions and option effectivity, and store field modification history so engineering, operations and service teams always know the true configuration and can act with confidence.
