Digital Lifting Solutions: How RigWare Transforms Offshore Safety and Rig Management

In offshore operations, control is safety. If equipment is uncertified, overdue for inspection, missing, duplicated or incorrectly recorded, it increases the risk of an incident occurring.

RigWare is a digital lifting solution that gives offshore teams greater control over the issue, return, certification and status of critical lifting equipment reducing the risks of incidents happening.

Real-Time control with rig management software

RigWare replaces manual tracking with a single, live system that captures every check-in, check-out and status change in one auditable record.

For offshore crews, this means immediate visibility of what is: 

  • Available 
  • In use 
  • Certified 
  • Due for inspection 

Flagged as defective, information is captured at source, accessible easily and consistent across locations giving teams a reliable foundation for operational control.

Improving offshore safety through equipment control

Robust offshore safety depends on knowing that every piece of equipment in use is fit for purpose.

RigWare provides crews and supervisors with live certification status, inspection records and full equipment history, supported by RFID-enabled tracking and automated alerts. This makes it easier to identify uncertified, overdue or defective equipment before it enters circulation.

This shifts control to the point of use. Crews work with clarity, not assumption, reducing the risk of human error, supporting LOLER compliance and strengthening safety across every lift.

Compliance without slowing work

Compliance offshore is non-negotiable, but it should not slow operations down.

RigWare removes the administrative burden by embedding compliance to the workflow. Tablet-based, offline-ready processes allow inspection data and certification records to be captured in the field, with audit trails created automatically.

When audits happen, the data is complete, traceable and easy to access, without any additional effort.

Cost control with rig management software

RigWare captures equipment movement, usage rates and defect trends, giving operators full visibility across every asset. With this insight, teams can reduce unnecessary spend, avoid duplication and improve utilisation.

In practice, this has delivered inventory reductions of up to 35%, alongside more controlled planning across rigs and fleets.

Dashboards and operational insight

The dashboard within the RigWare system is designed to clearly display information and further streamline operations and improve offshore safety. 

  • Through the Operations Dashboard, teams immediately see overdue inspections, ongoing defect activity, backloading requirements and up-to-date equipment movement. Each area links to detailed reports that can be filtered and downloaded in PDF or Excel format.
  • The Utilisation Dashboard highlights high-use equipment, underutilised assets, variations across locations, usage trends over time and the impact of defects on availability. 

Driving efficiency with digital lifting solutions

By capturing every equipment movement, automating reporting and providing live access to test certificates, the rig management software, RigWare, reduces downtime and operational waste. 

It helps operators improve offshore safety, strengthen compliance and manage lifting equipment with greater confidence. Every asset is visible, every movement is recorded and every decision is backed by data offering control from issue to return, preventing incidents from happening.
