Structured Data Hierarchy

HERO enforces a clean, scalable data model to represent complex industrial plants:

  • Organizations act as isolated silos for enterprise data.
  • Projects hold specific plant studies or evaluations.
  • Units break down the plant into logical, functional areas.
  • Nodes are the granular study points (lines, vessels, systems) where HAZOP worksheets are applied.

Dynamic Worksheet Execution

Perform comprehensive Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) studies directly within the browser.

  • Guideword Selection: Pair predefined parameters (Flow, Pressure, Temp) with standard guidewords (No, More, Less) to automatically generate Deviations.
  • Causes & Consequences: Detail the root events and their potential impacts on safety, environment, or assets.
  • Real-time Editing: Collaborative worksheet views allow scribes to rapidly document the study session as it happens.

Risk Matrix Customization

Not every organization uses the same risk tolerance. HERO adapts to you.

  • Configurable Dimensions: Define custom grid sizes (e.g., 4x4, 5x5) to match corporate standards.
  • Custom Axes: Label Likelihood (e.g., Rare, Possible, Frequent) and Severity (e.g., Minor, Major, Catastrophic).
  • Color-coded Heatmaps: Visually map Initial Risks, Residual Risks, and Future Risks based on your organization's exact risk-acceptance thresholds.

Recommendation Management

A study is only as good as the actions it produces. Drive mitigations to completion.

  • Action Tracking: Assign specific recommendations generated during the worksheet sessions to designated owners.
  • Status Management: Track progress from Open, to In Progress, to Closed.
  • Unified Dashboard: View all action items across the entire project in one consolidated list.
