Censiary · A CraneWave company

Engineering Software for Critical Industrial Assets

Censiary develops specialist digital platforms for industrial asset inspection, integrity management, maintenance and engineering compliance.

Built on practical engineering experience, our systems provide structured workflows, controlled records and traceable evidence to support informed engineering decisions.

From lifting equipment and process cranes to industrial plant and critical infrastructure, Censiary helps organisations maintain visibility, accountability and control throughout the asset lifecycle.

Developed by Engineers. Designed for Industry. Built for Assurance.

Capabilities

Core capabilities

Asset Integrity Management

Maintain structured asset registers, inspection histories, condition records and defect information within a controlled digital environment. Support asset lifecycle management through consistent data capture, traceability and visibility of equipment condition.

Inspection and Compliance

Digitise routine inspections, examination records and compliance workflows using configurable forms, defined responsibilities and auditable records. Support relevant regulatory and organisational requirements without replacing the judgement of authorised competent persons.

Engineering Assurance

Provide structured workflows, evidence capture, review processes and controlled documentation to support engineering governance. Maintain traceable records of inspections, findings, corrective actions and approvals.

Maintenance and Reliability

Connect inspection findings, defect histories and maintenance activities to improve asset visibility and support risk-informed maintenance planning. Enable engineering teams to identify recurring issues, prioritise corrective actions and monitor equipment performance.

People and sites

Who it's for

Maintenance and engineering managers

One record per asset, with inspection histories, defects and maintenance evidence together.

Site and plant managers

Due dates and outstanding defects visible across your site's equipment.

HSE/compliance leads

Traceable inspection and competent-person examination records ready for audit.

Lifting equipment owners and duty holders

Pre-use checks, routine inspections and competent-person thorough examination records held against each asset.

Method

How every Censiary app works

  1. 01

    Tag

    Every asset carries an NFC tag or QR code. Any phone reads it — the app opens if installed, a web page if not.

    Illustrative image: an NFC and QR asset tag on a lifting chain beside a shackle.

  2. 02

    Inspect

    Short, data-only templates for each asset kind, task by task with photos, on iPhone or iPad, online or off.

    Illustrative image: a gloved hand holding a phone showing an inspection checklist.

  3. 03

    Score

    Findings roll up into a health score per asset and per site, so attention goes where the risk is. The health score summarises recorded inspection findings and defect severity for each asset. It indicates recorded condition — it is not a compliance status or a statement of operational availability.

  4. 04

    Evidence

    Reports, registers and records generated from the inspection history, to support LOLER, PUWER and client audit requirements. The app records pre-use checks, routine inspections and the thorough examinations made by a competent person; completing an app checklist is not in itself a statutory thorough examination.

Flagship product

Censiary Lifting Protect

Inspect · Maintain · Lift Safer

Lifting Protect gives every crane, hoist and lifting accessory a single trustworthy record — tagged in the field, inspected against a template written for that kind of equipment, and scored so attention goes where the risk is.

  • Asset register for cranes, hoists and lifting accessories, with tag identifiers
  • Inspection templates for pre-use checks, routine inspections and recording LOLER thorough examinations made by a competent person, alongside the site's own standards
  • Task-by-task inspection on iPhone and iPad, with photos and sign-off
  • Defects raised in the field and visible immediately
  • Crane health scoring per asset and per site, with trending

Our approach

Built on Engineering Experience. Not Software Assumptions.

Censiary applications are developed around the practical requirements of engineers, inspectors, maintenance teams and asset operators. Our approach combines industrial engineering knowledge with modern software development to deliver systems designed for real operational environments.

Illustrative image

We prioritise:

  • Defined engineering workflows and responsibilities.
  • Consistent inspection and defect classification.
  • Controlled records and traceable evidence.
  • Configurable review and approval processes.
  • Clear separation between data capture, engineering assessment and authorisation.
  • Integration with established maintenance and asset management systems.
“Technology supports engineering judgement. It does not replace it.”
