When a joint fails, the questions follow:

Who touched it?

With TAURUS, the answer exists before anyone asks — for every joint on the asset.

About TAURUS

Every plant runs on
thousands of bolted joints.

The vessels are inspected. The pipelines are monitored. But the thing that fails is almost always a single joint nobody could trace. TAURUS was built to solve exactly that.

After every incident, the same three questions
Q1

Who touched that joint?

Q2

When?

Q3

Was it done right?

Today, the answer lives in a drawing in a folder somebody left behind, a torque sheet in a site cabin, a technician’s memory. TAURUS turns every joint into a live, traceable digital record — from the engineering drawing, through the wrench, to the final sign-off.

Why now
01

Audits demand evidence

Not assurances. The record has to exist before anyone asks for it — reconstruction after the fact no longer passes.

02

The knowledge is retiring

The senior technicians who carried this in their heads are leaving. What they knew has to live on the asset, not in memory.

03

AI can finally read the drawings

The data was always there, sitting in decades of ISOs and P&IDs. It just wasn’t usable. Now it is.

Who built this
Tri-Star Industries Pte Ltd

Built by the people
who make the tools.

TAURUS comes from Tri-Star Industries, a Singapore manufacturer that has worked on bolted joints for more than four decades. Tri-Star designs and builds its own tools, including the patented Swift Torque® hydraulic wrenches, accurate to ±2%. It rents them out and supplies the technicians who run them, subsea and topside.

That is why TAURUS knows what a pass sequence costs to get wrong, why a reading only counts if the tool was calibrated, and why the record has to survive a night shift with no signal. It was not designed from a specification. It was designed from the joint.

AI doesn’t replace the supervisor. It stands beside every crew, every shift — and speaks the moment something looks wrong.

That is the argument.

The TAURUS ecosystem

Four systems. One connected record.

Open any module and watch it work.

Ecosystem/Extract
From the drawing

EXTRACT

AI reads the documents you already own — ISOs, P&IDs, flange drawings, BOMs — and builds the joint register on its own. Weeks of manual take-offs, done in minutes.

Line numbers, flanges, gaskets, studbolts, joint classification, smart grouping — with a QR identity issued to every joint.

Anything the AI can’t resolve with confidence is flagged and routed to an engineer for review — nothing enters the register unchecked.

The record starts at the drawing, so it has roots. Every joint on the line exists in the system from day one — nothing is invisible.

Before the field

CALCULATE

The engineering engine works out every joint’s exact values and produces a calculated datasheet per joint — decided by engineering, not by rule of thumb.

Torque, tensioning pressure, preload, bolt load, pass values and tolerances — derived from the joint’s own drawing data, not someone’s memory.

Every datasheet goes through the approval workflow and is locked before release. Nothing reaches the field unless it has been checked, approved and locked.

The most expensive mistakes are decided before the wrench moves. The field executes verified numbers — it never invents them.

On the joint

EXECUTE

One QR scan opens the right joint. The technician follows the on-screen bolt map and pass sequence while connected tools verify the work as it happens.

The bolt map shows which stud, which pass, in the right sequence — with live readings from connected wrenches, gauges and pumps checked against the approved values.

Bluetooth tools pair to the device and write torque and pressure straight to the Joint ID, synced over Wi-Fi or cellular as the pass completes. Photos, deviations and the technician’s confirmation — who and when — are captured the same way. Nothing is transcribed, so nothing is copied wrongly.

Inside a vessel, on a remote deck, on night shift with no signal — the job keeps running and every reading is held on the device. It syncs to the cloud the moment the connection returns, with the original timestamps intact. Losing signal never means losing the record.

Sealed for life

INSPECT

Digital inspections at every stage — closing with the Joint Closure Report: the complete, traceable record of that joint.

Disassembly, assembly and post-tightening inspections with digital checklists and photo verification — each check resolved as Pass, Fail, Hold or NCR. Comments can be dictated instead of typed, so a note still gets left with gloves on.

Digital sign-off seals the record — readings, checks, people, tools and time — into one report that stands for the life of the joint.

Who touched this joint, when, and was it done right? With TAURUS, the answer is there in seconds — not days of digging through folders.

The control layer

TAURUS ADMIN

Not a fifth step — the layer that runs the whole thing, and enforces one rule: nothing reaches the field unless it has been checked, approved and locked.

Disassembly, assembly, tightening, inspection, testing, acceptance — plus any custom stage — configured to your procedures, with technicians assigned.

The calibration certificate is checked before a tool can even be issued. A reading only counts if the tool qualifies.

Every joint shows live on the dashboard, with alerts. The office sees what the field sees, the moment it changes.

TAURUS — AI Asset Integrity Assurance, powered by DataSmith AI

See your first
verified joint record.

Bring one of your own drawings. We’ll extract the register, lock the values, and walk one joint from QR scan to sealed record — live.

How a pilot runs
STEP 01

Extract

Send a drawing package. We return your joint register — built by AI, checked by engineers.

STEP 02

Execute

Your crew runs real joints with QR tags, guided maps and live readings.

STEP 03

Evidence

Review Joint Closure Reports and dashboards with your integrity team — and decide with proof in hand.

Pilot scope and timeline are agreed per site, based on your drawing package and operating windows.

FAQs

TAURUS runs as an independent system — no connection into your control network and no integration project to pilot it. Records sit in a dedicated environment for your organisation, access is role-based, and you can export the full record set at any time in open formats.

TAURUS connects alongside your existing planning and maintenance systems and holds what they were never built to hold — the verified execution record of every joint.

Bluetooth digital torque wrenches and pressure gauges pair to the technician’s device and write straight to the Joint ID — syncing over Wi-Fi or cellular, and holding on the device when there is neither. Tell us what is in your workshop and we will confirm it on the call.

TAURUS runs on standard Android tablets. In hazardous areas — refinery units, offshore decks — crews use ATEX-certified Zone 1 or Zone 2 devices, and TAURUS runs on those the same way. Technicians can use their own tablets, or we can supply them as part of the package.

A technician is working on the tablet inside an hour — the app follows the job, so there is little to learn beyond scanning the tag and following the sequence on screen. Engineers and administrators who build registers, approve values and run the dashboards take about a day to cover the full ecosystem.

Faster than you would expect: register extraction starts as soon as your drawing package lands, and the pilot timeline is scoped with you around your site and operating windows.

Security & data

Your records. Your control.

What your IT, security and legal teams will ask before a pilot — answered before you have to ask.

Independent system Export anytime Role-based access Encrypted in transit and at rest Full audit trail

No. TAURUS runs as an independent system. There is no integration project, no connection into your control network, and no dependency on your existing maintenance platform. You can pilot it on one job without involving your enterprise IT roadmap.

In a dedicated environment for your organisation, hosted in the region you choose. Your data is never mixed with another operator’s, and never used to train models for anyone else.

Yes, at any time and without asking us. Joint registers, calculated datasheets and Joint Closure Reports export to standard formats you can archive or hand to a client. Independent does not mean locked in — the record is yours.

Access is role-based: engineers approve and lock values, technicians execute against them, inspectors sign off, managers view. Nobody changes a locked value without leaving a trace of who changed it and when.

It is sealed. Sealed records cannot be edited — only superseded by a new, equally traceable entry. That is what makes the record defensible when it is examined years later.

Yes. Field execution works offline and synchronises when the device is back in range — critical inside a plant, offshore, or in a confined space.

You leave with your complete record set in open formats. There is no scenario where your joint history is held hostage.
