For Chemical & Process Plants

The CMMS Built for Chemical & Process Plants

Makula is the AI-first CMMS for chemical, petrochemical and specialty chemical manufacturers. Built around the reactors, distillation columns, compressors, heat exchangers, pumps and pressure vessels your plant actually runs on, so you can keep mechanical integrity programs current, plan turnarounds with confidence, and capture the records your PSM, RMP and risk-based inspection program needs.

What Changes When You Switch

Less downtime. Tighter Mechanical Integrity. One Source of Truth.

The four outcomes every plant wants — delivered with the equipment, mechanical-integrity and recordkeeping specifics chemical and process manufacturers actually need.

Reduce Unplanned Downtime

Fewer unplanned stops on reactors, distillation columns, compressors, pumps and heat exchangers. Faster mean-time-to-repair when equipment does go down.

MTBF • MTTR
Mechanical integrity, current

RBI / time-based inspections, relief- device certifications and pressure- vessel inspections scheduled and tracked — so PSM-covered equipment stays inside its envelope between turnarounds.

RBI • API 510/570/653
Records Auditor Can Read

Digital work-order history, e-signatures, photo evidence and inspection logs — exportable for OSHA, EPA and internal PSM/RMP audits with the linkage between MOC, PSSR, MI and work orders preserved.

PSM • RMP • Audit Trail
Spreadsheets & Paper Logs

Every work order, PM, inspection, MOC and PSSR in one place. Not a shared drive, not a binder in the control room, not a paper permit on the unit.

One Source of Truth

Chemical Manufacturing Software Built for Process Plants

Most chemical manufacturing software was built for finance or production planning and treats maintenance as an afterthought. Makula starts where your plant actually runs: on the equipment. Work orders go against real assets — reactors, columns, compressors, exchangers. Preventive maintenance follows your rotating equipment schedule, mechanical integrity inspections stay audit-ready, and every action your team takes becomes part of the record your PSM and RMP programs depend on. From one specialty chemical plant to a multi-site petrochemical footprint, your maintenance, reliability and EHS teams work from one source of truth — on the plant floor, in the control room, or from the office.

AI Copilot for Chemical

An Al That Knows Your Units, MI History and PSM Scope

Makula Al Copilot learns from your own work-order history, asset registry, Ml inspection reports, MOCs and SOPs. Ask a question in plain language and get cited answers — grounded in your data, not the public internet.
Audit-prep in minutes: Show every MI inspection, relief-device certification and MOC on Unit 4 last year" returns linked evidence, ready to export for an OSHA PSM or EPA RMP audit
Failure-pattern surfacing: the Copilot surfaces recurring issues (compressor seals, exchanger fouling, pump bearings, valve actuators) from your work-order history.
Private & secure: your plant data is never used to train third-party models. Every answer is cited. Hosted on ISO 27001-certified infrastructure.
Built To Support Your Audit Program

Designed Around The Records OSHA, EPA and Seveso Auditors Ask For.

Makula isn't certified to PSM, RMP or Seveso — those are plant-level regulatory programs. We provide the digital work-order, Ml inspection, MOC, PSSR and e-signature records your process-safety team uses to maintain its program.

What Teams Typically See

"Reliability and maintenance teams using Makula tell us the same thing — they stop firefighting, MI inspections stop slipping, and PSM audit prep stops being a three-week scramble across the binder room.”

What We’ll Measure With You
Downtime
Fewer unplanned trips on reactors, columns, compressors and exchangers
MI on Time
More mechanical-integrity inspections and PMs completed on schedule, with the same headcount
Audit Prep
PSM, RMP and Seveso audit prep stops being a multi-week scramble across QA, reliability and inspection
Go-Live
Single-plant deployment is measured in weeks, not quarters
What Changes When You Switch

Three Numbers Chemical Plants Actually Move

Generic CMMS tools chase dozens of metrics. We focus on the three that matter for a process plant.

MTBF

Mean Time Between Failures — the headline reliability number for compressors, pumps, agitators, exchangers and rotating equipment

MI
On Time

Mechanical-integrity inspection completion rate — share of API 510/570/653 inspections and relief-device certifications closed before due date

PM
On Time

Preventive maintenance completion rate — the leading indicator that keeps the first two numbers moving in the right direction

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Makula OSHA PSM or EPA RMP certified?
No CMMS can be PSM or RMP certified, those are plant-level programs, not software certifications. Makula supports them with digital work orders, MI inspections, MOC and PSSR workflows, permits, LOTO records and audit trails. We're ISO 27001 certified and GDPR compliant, and integrate with Sphera and Enablon where you already have them.
Does Makula support Risk-Based Inspection?
Makula tracks and schedules your API 510 / 570 / 653 inspection due dates and stores inspection records and readings against each asset, so nothing is missed.
Does the mobile app work in classified hazardous areas?
Yes. The app runs on ATEX and IECEx-rated devices like Zebra TC22ex and Pepperl+Fuchs handhelds. Works fully offline, re-syncs in signal. Technicians complete work, e-sign and capture photos inside the unit. Permits, LOTO and JSAs travel in the app.
Can we manage MOC and PSSR workflows?
Yes. MOC and PSSR are configurable approval flows with role-based sign-offs, linked P&IDs, action items and pre-startup checklists. Each MOC links to affected assets and work orders. Integrates with Sphera, Enablon and Intelex if you already use them.
How does Makula handle turnaround planning?
Deferred PMs, MI inspections, MOC changes and capital work group into one scope with critical-path scheduling, contractor assignment, permit packs and PSSR sign-off. Technicians and contractors work the scope from mobile. Turnaround report auto-generates from work-order data.
Can Makula connect to DCS, historian, SAP and ERP?
Yes. Native SAP connector for master data and cost posting. DCS and historian integrations via OPC-UA or REST (Aspen IP.21, OSIsoft PI, Honeywell PHD). Full REST API for everything else. Auto-generates runtime-based PMs from equipment runtime counters (e.g. a PM every N operating hours).

Single-site deployments scope in weeks. We migrate your asset list, PM and MI schedules from Excel, SAP PM, Maximo or GE APM, configure your hierarchy, load PSM tags and SOPs, and train your teams on-site. Multi-site rollouts and integrations are scoped jointly after a call.
