Aker Kvaerner's inspection management application, Coabis has been in use since 1989 for subsea, topsides and onshore inspection management. Coabis is used by companies including Shell UK, British Gas, Conoco, Talisman, ChevronTexaco, TotalFinaElf and Woodside Energy to manage their inspection programmes.
Areas covered by Coabis include: workscope planning; real-time data entry at the worksite (including VCR control, auto-compilation of dive logs, etc.); work progress reporting; full suite of reports; data transactions (enabling multiple vessels to use the application simultaneously, even at the same location, with no loss of data).
Coabis is an Oracle-based application, running on Microsoft Windows NT/2000/XP platforms. There are also reporting functions direct to Microsoft Word, and a web-based reporting application, Coabis.web.
