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.
Requirement Traceability
Trace every requirement from design to delivery
Requirement Traceability links customer requirements, technical specifications, design decisions, validation evidence and acceptance records so every design choice is provably tied to an outcome. For custom SPM, where each machine begins with unique constraints, this traceability prevents ambiguity about why a decision was made and whether acceptance criteria have been met.
We create structured URS/FRS frameworks, map requirements to design artefacts and validation outputs, and maintain change histories so engineering, project teams and customers share a single, auditable view of requirement status through to handover.
What We Deliver
URS & FRS Framework
Structure user and functional requirements with clear acceptance criteria.
Requirement to Design Mapping
Link requirements to mechanisms, fixtures, motion, safety and controls.
Requirement to Validation Linkage
Associate requirements with simulation, FAT, SAT and commissioning results.
Change Impact Tracking
Track effects when customer requirements change and record decisions.
Requirement Status Dashboards
Provide visibility for engineering, project managers and customers.
Deviation & Concession Traceability
Record deviations, concessions, assumptions and open items for review.
Handover‑Ready Evidence Pack
Produce compliance matrices and validation packs for final handover.
