Asset Integrity and Inspection Data Software for Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
Your autoclaves, sterile tanks and pressure equipment produce an inspection report at every check. Lucens Integrity ties those reports to each piece of equipment to build a history and prepare your audits.
The integrity thesis
Scattered inspection reports, tied to each piece of equipment, become a history and an audit dossier ready in a few minutes.
The integrity of pharmaceutical assets is decided in the continuity of their monitoring, not only at audit time. Lucens Integrity imports your inspection PDFs, analyses each one through an adapter calibrated for its format, and links every measurement and finding to the relevant piece of equipment. You get a per-equipment history, health KPIs, tracked deadlines and an exportable audit dossier. The software runs 100% locally, off-cloud and offline, under your control.
Pharmaceutical industry
Sector context
A base of sensitive equipment under constant watch
A pharmaceutical site runs sterile, pressurised and steam processes, where every critical piece of equipment is inspected, checked and requalified throughout its life. Autoclaves, sterile tanks, steam generators and utility piping generate a constant flow of reports.
These reports come from several sources: in-house teams, inspection bodies, non-destructive testing providers. They arrive as PDFs, in formats specific to each contributor, and end up filed site by site, often in a document system or a shared folder.
So the data exists in abundance. What is missing is a reading per piece of equipment: a continuous history, visible deadlines and a dossier ready to present, without rebuilding the information by hand at every audit.
Worth remembering
Across a multi-site group, inspection reports already exist in bulk: they stay under-used for lack of being tied to each piece of equipment and made comparable from one site to the next.
Assets covered
The pharmaceutical equipment Lucens Integrity tracks
Tracking covers the equipment for which you receive usable inspection reports. The scope covers in particular pressure vessels, steam and utilities.
Autoclaves and sterilisers
Repeated steam cycles, seals and pressurised chambers: every check joins the unit's history.
Sterile tanks
Surface findings, welds and nozzle points tracked over time, report after report.
Tanks and vessels
Thicknesses, corrosion and defects logged per vessel, with their location on the equipment.
Process and utility piping
Steam, purified-water and process lines, with tracking of wall thinning and singular points.
Heat exchangers
Tube bundles and shells: inspection findings stay attached to the tracked unit.
Steam generators
Pressure equipment at the heart of utilities: deadlines and findings consolidated per unit.
Pressure equipment
Autoclaves, steam generators and vessels fall under in-service monitoring: Lucens Integrity gathers the findings per unit and makes their deadlines visible.
Integrity challenges
What weighs on the integrity of your equipment
These phenomena are documented in inspection reports. The problem is not measuring them, but tracking them piece by piece, over time and across sites.
Corrosion and thinning
Thickness readings only make sense in series, compared from one check to the next.
Cracking
Thermal or mechanical initiations to spot early and track location by location.
Abrasion and erosion
Flow and turbulence zones to watch, with a history that brings recurrences to light.
Cleaning cycles and fatigue
Repeated clean-in-place and sterilisation stress surfaces: their effects read over time.
Planned shutdowns to prepare
Every technical shutdown demands knowing quickly which equipment to treat first, and why.
Multiple providers, multiple formats
Each contributor returns its report in its own format: the history scatters fast.
The inspection data exists. What is missing is its reading per piece of equipment.
The Lucens Integrity answer
From inspection reports to integrity steering
Lucens Integrity reads what your teams and providers produce, ties it to each piece of equipment and returns it as a history and a dashboard. Explore Lucens Integrity.
Your PDF reports
Imported file by file or by whole folder, in their original format.
Adapter reading
Each known format has its adapter; an unknown one is archived and flagged, never guessed.
History, KPIs, audit dossier
Per-asset health, deadlines, criticality, and an exportable dossier in minutes.
What Lucens Integrity does
Read, link, structure
- Imports your inspection PDFs, file by file or by whole folder.
- Analyses each report through an adapter calibrated for its format.
- Extracts measurements, findings, deadlines, identifiers, dates, locations and severity.
- Ties every data point to the equipment, once its identity is validated.

The approach
From dropping in the reports to the audit dossier
You start from your current reports. Each step produces a usable deliverable, without changing your field tools or re-entering the data.
Import
You drop in your inspection PDFs, file by file or as a whole folder, in their original format.
Adapter reading
Each report is analysed by the adapter for its format. An unknown format is archived and flagged.
Matching to the equipment
Measurements and findings are tied to the relevant piece of equipment, once its identity is validated.
History and mapping
The per-equipment history builds up and defects are placed on a 2D map.
KPIs and deadlines
Per-asset health, regulatory deadlines and overdue items become visible on a dashboard.
Audit dossier
The dossier is generated in a few minutes, with the source PDF linked, ready to export.

In practice
IllustrationWhat preparing an audit looks like
Take a multi-site pharmaceutical group whose pressure-equipment and sterile-tank checks are rigorous, but whose reports live in PDFs and shared folders, site by site. Each manager knows their own base, yet technical management rebuilds every audit dossier by hand, late, from scattered files.
By dropping the existing history into the software, each report is tied to its equipment. The audit dossier then gathers the per-asset history, the findings, the deadlines and the recommendations, with the source PDF linked. The data has not changed source: it has become readable, comparable and presentable.
An illustration of how it works on a generic case. It is not a quantified client result.
Regulatory framework
Integrity monitoring that serves your operating obligations
Many pharmaceutical assets are also pressure equipment. In France, the order of 20 November 2017 governs their in-service monitoring: it requires an operating file per piece of equipment and sets periodicities, with a periodic inspection at most every six years and a requalification, in principle, every ten years. A reading per piece of equipment makes these deadlines visible before they arrive and gathers findings per unit, which makes keeping the file easier.
Lucens Integrity helps consolidate these records and retrieve every check. It substitutes for neither the bodies, nor the standards, nor the inspection agents, whose certification falls to COFREND under the EN ISO 9712 standard. It does not address good-manufacturing-practice compliance, process validation or computer-system validation: its scope is the mechanical integrity of your equipment.

Scope
What Lucens Integrity does not replace
- It doesn't carry out the inspectionsChecks stay carried out by your certified agents and providers. The software puts their reports to work; it doesn't produce them.
- It uses no OCRIt reads usable reports, not images that are merely scanned. An unusable file is archived and flagged.
- It doesn't address GMP compliance or validationGood manufacturing practice, process validation and computer-system validation stay outside its scope, which is mechanical integrity.
- It computes no automatic remaining lifeIt claims neither a full RBI nor a guaranteed failure prediction. It structures, clarifies and prioritises.
- It is neither a CMMS nor an inspection instrumentIt complements your existing tools by tying reports to equipment, without replacing them.

Frequently asked questions
What pharmaceutical teams ask us
Is Lucens Integrity a GMP or FDA compliance tool?
No. Lucens Integrity covers the mechanical integrity of your equipment, not good-manufacturing-practice compliance, process validation or computer-system validation. It centralises inspection reports, builds a per-equipment history and prepares an audit dossier. Regulatory responsibility and validation stay on your side.
Do you need OCR to read our scanned reports?
Lucens Integrity uses no OCR. It analyses usable inspection PDFs through an adapter calibrated for each format. An image that is merely scanned, with no usable text, is not guessed: it is archived and flagged. You know exactly what was read and what still needs checking before the audit.
What happens if a report format is unknown?
The file is archived and flagged, never interpreted at random. Each known format has its own analysis adapter. A new format waits for an adapter to be added, which prevents any invented data. This principle protects the reliability of the history and the traceability back to the source PDF.
Does our data leave the site?
No. Lucens Integrity runs 100% locally, off-cloud and offline. Your inspection reports, the per-equipment history and the KPIs stay on your machines, under your control. Every indicator stays linked to its source PDF, which ensures traceability without exposing your data to the outside.
Does it replace our CMMS?
No. Lucens Integrity is neither a CMMS, nor an EAM, nor a non-destructive testing instrument. It puts to work the inspection reports your teams and providers produce, ties them to each piece of equipment and draws a history and deadlines from them. It complements your existing tools instead of replacing them.
How long does it take to prepare an audit dossier?
Once reports are imported and tied to the equipment, the audit dossier is generated in a few minutes. It gathers the per-asset history, the findings, the deadlines and the recommendations, with the source PDF linked. You then export to Excel, PDF or CSV depending on the auditor's need.
