Goal
Match components to their corresponding Material Test Reports (MTR) and create digital database.
Challenge
The Oil and Gas Pipeline Material Test Report (MTR) is used to record various test data of raw materials, such as chemical composition, physical parameters..
In order to operate/ maintain oil & gas systems, (oil pipelines), it is necessary to constantly access & review documents such as MTR to ensure safety & compliance.
The current MTR process requires individuals to:
- Find a physical copy of the MTR that should be attached to the goods
- Contact the admin to search for a copy of the MTR in their filing system
This is a time-consuming process- it can easily take +10 min to find a component’s MTR. Since the archive of the MTR is messy or lost, it may take a long time to reach the corresponding MTR, resulting in delays to construction, or failure to pass inspection.
Outcome
Users can upload and store scanned MTRS into a digital database, and enter key parameters (material heat codes, manufacturer name) and find the MTR corresponding to any component in seconds.
