For Chemical & CMMS 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
More PMs, Same Team

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 Food & Beverage

An Al That Knows Your Plant, Your Assets, Your History

Makula AI Copilot learns from your own work-order history, asset registry, sanitation logs and SOPs. Ask a question in plain language and get cited answers, grounded in your data, not the public internet. It's the AI layer missing from most food industry software.
Audit-prep in minutes — “Show every PM and sanitation record on Line 2 last quarter” returns linked evidence, ready to export for your auditor.
Failure-pattern detection — the Copilot spots recurring issues (bearings, belts, CIP valves, refrigeration drift) before your next line stop
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 Food & Beverage Auditors Ask For

Makula isn't certified to food-safety frameworks itself, those are plant-level certifications. As compliance management software for the food industry, we provide the digital work-order, sanitation, inspection and e-signature records your team uses to maintain its program.

What Teams Typically Use

“Maintenance teams using Makula tell us the same thing — they go from chasing breakdowns to actually preventing them, and audit prep stops being a three-week scramble.”

What We’ll Measure With You
Downtime
Fewer unplanned line stops on bottlers, fillers, conveyors and refrigeration
PM on Time
More preventive and sanitation work completed on schedule, with the same headcount
Audit Prep
Audit and recordkeeping prep stops being a multi-week scramble
Go-Live
Single-plant deployment is measured in weeks, not quarters
What Changes When You Switch

Three Numbers Food & Beverage Teams Actually Move

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

MTBF

Mean Time Between Failures — the headline reliability number for fillers, conveyors, mixers and refrigeration units

MTTR

Mean Time To Repair — how fast your team
gets a line back online and running when something does fail

PM
On Time

Preventive maintenance and sanitation 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?
Yes. Every pressure vessel, piping and storage tank carries its API 510, 570, 653 inspection plan with UT thickness tracking, corrosion rate and remaining life. Out-of-spec readings auto-flag assets and link to MOC. We connect to Sphera and Inspectioneering for dedicated RBI engines.
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 condition-based PMs from runtime, vibration, temperature and flow data.

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.
