Most barrier management platforms differ on three things: whether barrier status updates automatically from operational systems or relies on manual input; whether they cover human and organisational barriers alongside technical ones, or only equipment; and whether the bowtie is a static design document or connected to live operational data.

Presight automates data collection from systems such as maintenance systems (CMMS), alarm systems, permit-to-work, competency records and more. It covers technical, human, and organisational barriers, giving a complete risk picture. The bowtie is linked directly to live barrier status, so it reflects what is happening in the operation rather than what was documented in the last workshop.

The platform identifies compound and cascading conditions that affect the same scenario or asset group. It detects combinations of simultaneous impairments, overdue actions, overrides, and abnormal operating states. These combinations are often invisible when barrier status is managed in separate systems or spreadsheets. Presight surfaces them as a combined risk picture and can alert the right people before the situation escalates.

Yes. The platform is configured to your organisation’s terminology, risk categories, barrier taxonomy, and performance criteria. It does not impose oil and gas conventions. Whether you are managing barriers on a mine site, a vessel, a chemical plant, a rail network, or an agricultural operation, the structure adapts to your context.
