Built Around the Real Needs of Process Safety Professionals

Vidya's System platform document management feature

See risk in context, not in documents


Be aware of everything that could go wrong. The Scenarios feature brings
hazard and risk studies into the Digital Twin, showing what triggers an event, how it propagates through equipment and systems, which barriers are expected to respond, and what actions are required from each team. By animating consequences and procedures in context, it turns dispersed safety knowledge into clear operational guidance, helping teams anticipate escalation, verify safeguards, and execute the correct response with confidence.

Field images for Situational Awareness


Bring the field back into the control environment. Navigate through inspection photos, anomaly records, and on-site evidence to the affected equipment inside the Digital Twin. Teams no longer rely on isolated reports or memory; visual confirmation of real conditions becomes part of the risk evaluation process.

Complete Visibility of Safety-Critical Barriers

Access complete information for every safety-critical element in a single environment. Identify barriers, PSVs, and critical equipment within the 3D model and view their status, associated risk studies, inspection history, and linked engineering documentation. Risk exposure and barrier conditions can also be visualized through dynamic heatmaps, highlighting high-risk zones and critical clusters across the facility.

Virtual Outlining & Risk Analysis


Define affected areas and evaluate risk directly within the plant layout. Virtually outline equipment, systems, or process sections to assess exposure, understand escalation potential, and support structured decision-making. By analyzing impact spatially, teams can prioritize interventions, assess operational constraints, and determine mitigation strategies with greater precision and speed.

Challenges you may be facing:

Safety-critical data is dispersed across multiple systems, documents, and teams, making it difficult to obtain a consistent and reliable view of hazards, safeguards, and their current status.

Operators, engineers, and HSE teams do not always have timely access to the risk context, historical studies, or barrier requirements needed for informed field decisions.

Safeguards may no longer reflect current operating conditions, production targets, or plant modifications, creating a false sense of protection.

Barrier availability, testing status, impairments, and performance are not tracked in a structured way, leading to decisions based on assumptions rather than evidence.

HAZOP, HAZID, and PRA results remain as standalone reports, disconnected from daily operations and from the physical assets they describe.

Process modifications are not consistently evaluated against existing hazards and safeguards, increasing the risk of unintended consequences.

Providing auditable evidence of barrier performance, inspection history, and risk assessments is time-consuming and often relies on manual document gathering.

Lessons learned from incidents and near-misses are not systematically linked to barriers, training, or asset context, limiting knowledge transfer across teams and units.

Vidya's DPS Workflow

This application supports a cyclic management loop for process safety integrity. When a degraded barrier or anomaly is detected (whether through inspection findings or periodical operational alerts), the system enables structured criticality and risk assessment within the same environment. Required interventions can be initiated as work orders, linked directly to the affected asset and its associated risk scenario.

As maintenance activities are executed, evidence such as photographs, component certifications, inspection reports, and close-out records is uploaded and tied to the corresponding action. This ensures that restoration actions are documented, traceable, and auditable. Once the intervention is completed and verified, the barrier status is updated, closing the loop and integrating inspection, maintenance, and safety into a single workflow.

Circular workflow diagram titled “Digital Process Safety.” The cycle begins with detection of a degraded safety barrier, triggering an alert and leading to criticality and risk assessment. Based on the assessment, a mitigation strategy is defined, resulting in actions such as creating a work order or initiating a management of change (MOC). After risk analysis of changes and implementation, change evidence is recorded and the barrier is restored, completing the cycle and returning the system to normal operation.
