CGI & EQVR, Intelligently Accelerated

AI That Dramatically Speeds Up Nuclear Commercial Grade Dedication & Equivalency Evaluations

This tool is laser-focused on tackling part obsolescence and streamlining component evaluations for the nuclear industry. By automating both Commercial Grade Dedication (CGI) and Equivalency Evaluations (EQVR), it empowers utilities and suppliers to dedicate new components efficiently and rapidly find suitable replacements for obsolete parts, ensuring plant reliability and unlocking significant cost savings.

The Specialist vs. The Generalist

We don't do everything – we excel at one critical thing: Accelerating evaluations to reduce procurement costs and boost parts availability.

Unmatched Focus

This tool directly addresses part obsolescence and supply chain delays by making it faster and easier to dedicate commercial-grade components and find suitable replacements.

Deeper Expertise

Built on trusted public EPRI guidance documents (3002002982: Guideline for the Acceptance of Commercial-Grade Items in Nuclear Safety-Related Applications, 1008256: Guidelines for the Technical Evaluation of Replacement Items in Nuclear Power Plants, and TR-112579: Critical Characteristics for Acceptance of Seismically Sensitive Items), the AI platform streamlines technical documentation for any utility or supplier in the nuclear industry. Outputs support existing quality assurance programs, facilitating final preparation by qualified engineers and independent verification for compliance.

Faster ROI

Because the app is simple, focused, and ready to use today, it delivers immediate impact by increasing throughput and reducing reliance on expensive safety-related parts.

Built by an Engineer, For Engineers

This solution simplifies evaluations to resolve obsolescence faster with fewer engineering hours, supporting compliance for safe nuclear plant operation up to 80 years.

Developed exclusively based on EPRI guidelines to solve widespread challenges.

Administrative tasks, like documentation and procurement delays, often hinder engineers from solving critical obsolescence issues efficiently.

This app was created to free engineers from administrative burdens, letting them focus on core engineering—enabling extended plant operations.

Grounded in first principles from public EPRI guidance, it's ready to improve efficiency across the sector.

Empowering New Engineers

The platform equips new engineers with industry best practices, enabling them to tackle obsolescence and equivalency evaluations with confidence from day one.

Reducing Administrative Burden

The tool automates and simplifies administrative tasks, freeing engineers from paperwork and procurement delays to focus on solving obsolescence challenges.

Continuous Improvement

Created by an engineer, the app evolves with feedback from the nuclear engineering community, ensuring robust aging management and compliance with subsequent license renewal standards for 80-year operation.

Unlock Engineering Efficiency

The platform provides a suite of tools designed to streamline workflows and enhance decision-making.

CGIai

Commercial Grade Dedication Technical Evaluations

Streamline Commercial Grade Dedication implementing guidance from EPRI 3002002982 and TR-112579. Simply provide a component's datasheet, and the AI will analyze documents to identify safety functions, generate a comprehensive FMEA, and develop critical characteristics for acceptance, including tests, tolerances, and basis. Each step allows engineer review and AI-assisted refinement for compliance.

EQVRai

Equivalency Evaluations, including basis for acceptability

Expedite equivalency evaluations by uploading datasheets for original and replacement parts. The AI generates safety functions, an FMEA, and identifies critical characteristics for design by implementing guidance from EPRI 1008256. It then finds specifications for both parts and provides a detailed engineering basis to determine if the replacement is equal to or better.

Replaceai

Intelligent Replacement Suggestions with integrated Equivelency workflow

Identify replacements for any original part number based on manufacturer, part number, and datasheet. The AI scans historical EQVRai data first, then the web if needed. When searching for a replacement, the algorithm provides enough critical characteristics for the original and replacement to help engineers prioritize suggestions. Once a replacement is selected, Replaceai generates an equivalency evaluation with one click to simplify obsolescence. A deterministic model (beta release) is also utilized to identify replacement Rosemount transmitters by prioritizing options with the least amount of error.

A Simple, Powerful Workflow

From datasheet to completed package in just a few clicks.

1

Upload

Provide the manufacturer, part number, and at least one datasheet.

2

Generate

AI generates the FMEA, safety functions, and critical characteristics.

3

Review & Export

Export the final package, ready for your documentation system. To further streamline integration, we can work with you to customize the output format.
