Metal processing: cranes and welding do not tolerate improvisation

In a metalworking plant loads are lifted above people, welding happens next to combustible material and machines punish inattention — all in the same hall. Each of those carries inspections, permits and authorised persons, and each of them expires quietly. Kraang raises it before it expires and keeps the finding attached to the machine itself.

What makes this industry different

Four things that cannot wait in a metalworking plant

Hot work needs a permit, not an agreement

Welding and cutting outside the designated area are done under a work permit, with the surroundings checked and a watch kept after the job ends.

The crane works above people

Cranes, hooks, slings and lifting straps carry inspections and deadlines; when the document expires it is not only the paper that stops, but the right to use them.

Noise and fumes are measured, not estimated

Welding fumes, emulsion aerosols and machining noise are proven through workplace environment testing and followed up with medical examinations.

Tools and machines are shared across shifts

When the same machine is used by several people across three shifts, competence and assignment have to sit with the person, not the department.

Obligations and where they sit

What a metalworking plant keeps, and in which module

None of this is news to anyone running a plant. The difference is that on Kraang every item carries an owner, a deadline and its evidence.

Work equipment: machines, presses, tools

Periodic inspections and testing, with the finding attached to the machine itself.

Occupational health & safety

Cranes and lifting accessories

Inspections, deadlines and documents that must be valid on the day of use.

Asset register

Hot work permits

Welding and cutting outside the designated area — the permit, the conditions and the watch afterwards.

Occupational health & safety

Workplace environment testing

Noise, fumes and aerosols, microclimate and lighting per workplace, renewed before they expire.

Occupational health & safety

Medical examinations

Tied to the workplace — noise, vibration and welding fumes each bring their own examinations.

Occupational health & safety

Training and machine competence

Who may operate which machine and until when their competence is valid — per person, not per department.

Occupational health & safety

Personal protective equipment

Hearing, eye and respiratory protection, gloves and welding gear — assignment, service life and signature.

Stock and procurement

Fire protection

Extinguishers and hydrants, inspections and testing, with deadlines that raise themselves.

Occupational health & safety

Maintenance plan and history

Preventive work to plan and repairs by work order, on the same machine that carries the inspections.

Maintenance and servicing

Hazardous waste: emulsions, oils, packaging

Records, waste movement, handover to the operator and the annual report.

Environmental protection

Contractors on site

Machine servicing, overhauls and waste collection — no valid papers, no entry.

Let us talk about your obligations

Tell us which domains are choking you — safety, environment, the fleet, or all of it at once. In the consultation we walk through your actual processes and show what Kraang takes off your desk.

  • No obligation — first we understand your process
  • You enable only the domains you need
  • Migration from existing spreadsheets and your old system
  • Cloud, dedicated database or an installation inside your infrastructure
