BPCL Kochi Refinery – Relief Valve Tracking System

About this project

BPCL Kochi Refinery – Cloud-Based Relief Valve Tracking System

ISoft InfoTech successfully designed and developed a Cloud-Based Relief Valve Tracking System for Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL), Kochi Refinery, Kerala, to digitally monitor and manage the inspection, servicing, and installation lifecycle of Pressure Safety Valves (PSVs) during refinery turnaround operations.

The objective of the project was to replace manual tracking with a centralized digital solution that provides real-time visibility into the movement and servicing status of more than 1,200 relief valves across multiple refinery units and maintenance workshops.

The system was developed as a cloud-based web application with mobile support, enabling engineers, technicians, and contractors to update valve status instantly using QR code technology. Every relief valve was assigned a unique QR code, allowing seamless identification, tracking, and reporting throughout the maintenance process.

The application was designed to improve operational efficiency, reduce manual errors, enhance traceability, and provide complete visibility of valve movement during refinery shutdown activities.
