Industry solution
Connect every batch, load and permit check across products designed to work together
Batch release, equipment integrity, qualified operators, hazardous loads and permits, handled by products designed to work together.
The problem
Batch results, customer specifications, inspection dates, procedure training, shipping papers and permit readings live in separate records, so problems surface late and evidence is rebuilt by hand.
Most specialty and industrial chemical, coatings and fertilizer sites run on a patchwork. Batch tickets travel on paper, QC results sit in a lab spreadsheet or an aging laboratory system, customer specifications live in sales folders, relief valve and vessel due dates come from a contractor's list, change reviews are forms in a binder, safety data sheets sit on a shared drive and permit readings in the environmental coordinator's spreadsheet. Each record is right about its own slice and blind to the rest.
The pressure comes from every direction. Customers expect certificates of analysis against their own specifications and fast, evidence-backed answers when something goes wrong. Process safety programs, insurers and regulators expect inspection dates kept, changes reviewed before start-up and operators trained on the current procedure. Hazardous shipments must carry the right documents and placards. Thermal oxidizers, scrubbers and, on fertilizer sites, nitrous oxide abatement are tied to permit conditions. Experienced operators are retiring, and margins on many grades leave little room for sprawling enterprise suites.
This page describes a solution concept: how specialist Burdenoff products are designed to pass facts about batches, equipment, people, loads and permits to one another on Burdenoff Workspaces. The products are pre-launch, and the hand-offs shown here describe how they are designed to work together.

A day in the life
Farah runs day-to-day operations at a site with two reactor trains, a solvent tank farm, a drum and tote filling hall and a tank-truck loading rack. Her Tuesday starts with an off-spec batch and ends with a customer complaint the next morning. Each chapter below sets up one of the problems this page is about; the people, products and plant are invented.
Tuesday, 5:40 a.m.
The overnight QC results for B-2417, 12 metric tons of alkyd resin AR-560, land in the lab spreadsheet: viscosity is above the upper limit and acid value is close to it. Shift chemist Ivan Petrov wants to add mineral spirits and re-test. A tanker is booked for Wednesday at 6:00 a.m. for a customer whose acid value limit is tighter than the standard grade. Farah cannot see, in one place, which customers the batch would still meet, or who signs off an adjustment.
How this is solved: Release good batches fast, and give off-spec ones a recorded pathTuesday, 9:15 a.m.
Shipping coordinator Rosa Delacroix is building the hazardous loads for the next 24 hours. A mixed trailer has drums of thinner planned beside totes of an oxidizing etch cleaner, which site rules keep on separate vehicles. The resin solution going out by tank truck still has last month's safety data sheet attached for the customer, and driver Joel Mensah's hazardous materials endorsement runs out in two days. Rosa finds the first problem by luck and the other two by phone.
How this is solved: Ship hazardous loads with the right papers, placards and driverTuesday, 11:00 a.m.
Reliability engineer Kenji Watanabe notices that PSV-2104, the relief valve on reactor R-2, is three weeks past its twelve-month bench test, with no deferral on record. Pulling it needs R-2 empty, and the schedule has two resin campaigns back to back. The solvent header's thickness readings sit in a contractor's report, and a gasket material change on R-2's bottom valve is still waiting for its management-of-change review. Kenji spends the afternoon reconciling three spreadsheets.
How this is solved: Keep relief valves, vessels and piping inside their inspection datesTuesday, 2:00 p.m.
Revision 7 of the R-2 charging procedure clears its management-of-change review, with a new charge sequence and an added hold point. The next R-2 batch starts on it at 6:00 p.m., and the pre-startup safety review cannot be signed until every affected operator is trained. Walking the floor at 5:00 p.m., night lead Oksana Bilyk learns that two of her four reactor-floor operators have not been through the change, and a panel operator's sign-off is on paper in a drawer. She has an hour to close the gap or hold the start-up.
How this is solved: Hold start-up until every operator is trained on the changed procedureTuesday, 5:30 p.m.
The thermal oxidizer that treats reactor vent gas trips on low combustion temperature while R-1 is stripping solvent from batch B-2419. It is back in forty-two minutes, but the times stay on a panel screen, not on the batch. An hour earlier the wastewater pH probe read out of range. Environmental coordinator Samuel Osei will find both in the morning log, with a deviation report due Friday and three waste drums near their storage time limit.
How this is solved: Tie every abatement outage to its batches and its report dateWednesday, 8:10 a.m.
A distributor writes in the chat channel: panels sprayed with epoxy primer EP-240, lot 24-0917, are peeling at the edges. In the same queue sit a recoat-window question, a request for the current safety data sheet and a storage question. Technical service chemist Leah Brandt needs the lot's certificate, batch record, retained sample and the list of other customers who received it, which means three systems and a walk to the retain room.
How this is solved: Answer customer questions and complaints from the batch recordNone of these problems is unusual on a chemical site. What changes in this concept is that each one surfaces where the responsible person works, with the batch, the equipment, the people and the permit already linked, so Farah's morning meeting starts from records rather than recollection.
Challenges and how they are solved
Each challenge shows the problem as it happens, how the products are designed to hand work to each other, and the concepts that illustrate it. Share any challenge on its own.
Answers are in plain business terms. Choose Technical, or open any technical detail, to see how it works under the hood.
Challenge 1 of 6
At 5:40 a.m. the QC lab posts results for batch B-2417, 12 metric tons of an alkyd resin: viscosity is above the upper limit and acid value sits close to it. The shift chemist wants to add solvent and re-test; the site manager wants to know whether Wednesday's tanker can still go. The charge weights are on a paper traveler, the results in a lab spreadsheet and the customer specifications for the grade in a sales folder. Nobody can see in one place which customers the batch meets as it stands, what an adjustment would change or who approved it.
Off-spec batches sit in tanks and tie up capacity, adjustments go unrecorded, and a certificate of analysis can go out against the wrong specification, which is where complaints often begin.
ManufacturedOps is designed to put the lab's results from LabsOfScience on the batch record and check them against every customer's specification. When a batch misses, the shift chemist sees which customers it still suits and what an adjustment would change, and records the fix and the re-test. Quality then releases or holds the batch with all the evidence, including equipment checks from AssetHandler, on one screen.
Technical detail
LabsOfScience holds each QC test method as a versioned protocol frozen at publish, records every result as a numbered run under it and keeps the analyst's signed notebook entry, so a viscosity or acid value cites the method version behind it. ManufacturedOps is designed to bring those results onto the batch record beside quantities, material lots, holds and non-conformances, with equipment calibration status from AssetHandler, and to lay them against the standard and each customer-specific specification for the grade. When a result fails, the off-spec view, built on the non-conformance record, lists the paths (adjust and re-test, blend, re-grade, rework), shows the predicted effect of an adjustment and records the approver and reason. An approved adjustment is added to the production order as an operation, the re-test goes back to LabsOfScience as a new run, and QA releases with the evidence on one screen.
Every batch leaves with a decision that names its results, method versions, adjustments and approver, and off-spec material has a recorded path instead of a parked tank.
ManufacturedOps
Lays failed QC results against the standard and each customer specification, predicts the effect of an adjustment and records the disposition, approver and re-test.
Works with LabsOfScience, MoveTheWheels
ManufacturedOps
Gives QA one release screen with the executed batch record, deviations, LabsOfScience results and calibration status from AssetHandler, with Release, Hold and Reject decisions.
LabsOfScience
Holds each QC test method as ordered, typed steps and freezes a version when it is published, so every result can cite the exact method used.
Challenge 2 of 6
At 9:15 a.m. the shipping coordinator is building the loads for the next 24 hours: a tank truck of solvent blend at the rack, a tank truck of resin solution, and a mixed trailer with drums of thinner and totes of an oxidizing cleaner. She builds each bill of lading from a template, prints safety data sheets from a shared drive and checks drivers' hazardous materials endorsements by phone. The resin solution's SDS was revised last month and the old revision is attached for the customer. Nobody has checked the site's segregation rules for the mixed trailer. A fertilizer producer loading ammonium nitrate faces the same checks.
A wrong SDS revision, a missing placard or a forbidden mix on one trailer can stop a load at the gate or on the road, and puts drivers and customers at risk.
Before any paperwork prints, MoveTheWheels is designed to check each hazardous load: the right hazard details and placards, the current safety data sheet for the customer, which products may share a trailer, and whether every batch on it is released. CrewFoundry is designed to track drivers' hazardous materials endorsements, so MoveTheWheels can flag a driver who is not cleared.
Technical detail
MoveTheWheels is designed to treat each outbound load as a dangerous-goods record: every line carries its UN number, proper shipping name, hazard class, packing group, packaging and lot number, and the shipment holds the SDS revision sent to the customer. Before the bill of lading is released, a readiness check compares that SDS with the current revision, applies the site's configured segregation rules to lines sharing a vehicle, lists the placards required and confirms each lot is released in ManufacturedOps. CrewFoundry is designed to hold drivers' hazardous materials and tanker endorsements, medical certificates and training beside the roster (shift rosters are on its roadmap) and to mark a driver whose endorsement is about to lapse as not dispatchable, so MoveTheWheels can flag the load. A failed check blocks the paperwork and names the fix, and a rack-side check on a phone records placards, seals and the shipping papers in the cab.
Hazardous loads leave with matching placards, the right shipping papers and a cleared driver, the customer gets the current SDS, and every check sits on the shipment record.
MoveTheWheels
Checks each outbound load for UN details, placards, segregation, the current SDS revision, released lots and a cleared driver before the bill of lading prints.
Works with CrewFoundry, ManufacturedOps
CrewFoundry
Is designed to keep drivers' hazmat and tanker endorsements, medical certificates and training in one place, so drivers who are not dispatchable are kept off the MoveTheWheels load board.
Challenge 3 of 6
At 11:00 a.m. the reliability engineer finds that the relief valve on reactor R-2 is three weeks past its twelve-month bench test, with no deferral recorded. The valve can only be pulled when R-2 is empty, and the schedule has two resin campaigns back to back. Thickness readings for the solvent header live in a contractor's report, the vessel inspection due list is a spreadsheet, and a gasket material change on R-2's bottom valve is waiting for a management-of-change review nobody has chased. Each gap is known to someone; none is visible to everyone.
Overdue relief valve tests and unreviewed changes are exactly what process safety audits and insurers ask about, and an unplanned stop to catch up can cost a whole campaign.
AssetHandler is designed to keep one list of every relief valve, vessel and pipe run with its next inspection, latest wall-thickness reading and any change awaiting review, and to record a risk review for anything overdue. It is also designed to check the reactor schedule in ManufacturedOps so the work lands between campaigns, while CrewFoundry lines up fitters and inspectors whose certificates are current.
Technical detail
AssetHandler is designed to hold the site's pressure equipment (relief valves, vessels, exchangers and piping circuits) as assets with inspection intervals, last results and thickness readings at each monitoring location, from which the integrity board is designed to work out a corrosion rate and remaining life. The board ranks what is overdue or trending toward retirement thickness and shows open change requests, which a site can use to record management-of-change reviews, against the same equipment. An overdue item is designed to require a recorded deferral with a risk review until the pull is done. The board is designed to read the reactor campaign schedule from ManufacturedOps, so a valve pull is booked into the clean-out between campaigns. Work that needs a shutdown is gathered into a work pack designed to pass to CrewFoundry, which matches each job to fitters, inspectors and permit issuers with current tickets.
Relief valve tests, vessel inspections and thickness surveys are planned into real production windows, overdue items carry a recorded deferral, and every open change sits beside the equipment it touches.
AssetHandler
Ranks relief valves, vessels and piping circuits by inspection due date and thickness trend, with deferrals, open changes and the next clean-out window beside each item.
Works with ManufacturedOps, CrewFoundry
CrewFoundry
Is designed to take the shutdown work pack from AssetHandler and match it to crafts by shift, flagging certificates that expire inside the window.
Challenge 4 of 6
At 2:00 p.m. revision 7 of the R-2 charging procedure clears management of change (MOC), with a new charge sequence and an added hold point. The next R-2 batch starts on it at 6:00 p.m., and the pre-startup safety review (PSSR) must confirm that every affected operator is trained before it does. Two of the four night-shift reactor-floor operators have not been through the change, and a board operator's sign-off is on paper in a supervisor's drawer. The PSSR training line is a signature, not a record of who learned what. The night lead finds out walking the floor at 5:00 p.m., with an hour to go.
Starting a changed procedure with operators who have not learned it is a known path from a routine batch to an incident, and a pre-startup review signed on assumption is what an incident review looks at first.
When a procedure changes, ManufacturedOps is designed to hold the first batch on it until every affected operator has passed a short check on what changed. BuildMyIQ gives the check and records who passed, and CrewFoundry shows who is qualified on the new version, so the pre-startup safety review is signed on records, not assumptions.
Technical detail
When MOC approves revision 7, ManufacturedOps is designed to hold it as a versioned work instruction linked to the R-2 charging operation, and to keep the first production order on revision 7 on hold until the PSSR shows every affected operator has passed. ManufacturedOps passes the revision and the stations named in the shift's production orders; CrewFoundry passes the operators whose recorded skills cover those stations; BuildMyIQ assigns a short check on what changed (the new charge sequence, the new hold point) and returns pass results by operator. BuildMyIQ fits this step because its questions are scored against an answer key kept on the server, with a passing score and attempt limit. The results are designed to fill the PSSR training line and CrewFoundry's record of who is qualified on revision 7; shift rosters and cover suggestions are on CrewFoundry's roadmap.
No changed procedure starts until the operators running it have passed a check on that revision, and the pre-startup review shows who was trained, when and on which version.
ManufacturedOps
Holds the charging procedure as a versioned work instruction linked to the production order, so revision 7 replaces revision 6 with its history kept.
BuildMyIQ
Builds the short check on what revision 7 changed, with a passing score, attempt limit and an answer key kept on the server, and records each operator's result.
Challenge 5 of 6
At 5:30 p.m. the thermal oxidizer that treats reactor vent gas trips on low combustion temperature while reactor R-1 is stripping solvent. An operator restarts it forty-two minutes later, but the start and end times stay on a panel screen, not on the batch that was venting. An hour earlier the wastewater pretreatment pH probe read out of range. The environmental coordinator learns about both from the morning log, with a deviation report due within days and three hazardous waste drums approaching their accumulation time limit. A fertilizer site has the same gap when a nitric acid plant's nitrous oxide abatement is bypassed during a start-up.
Late deviation reports, unexplained exceedances and overdue waste containers draw regulators' attention, and rebuilding the facts from memory is slow and unreliable.
EcoImpactHub is designed to check each permitted stack and discharge point against its limits as readings are recorded. When the oxidizer trips, it logs the outage, which batches were venting and when the report is due, and it tracks waste drums against their time limits. AssetHandler takes the repair and shows which equipment uses the most energy.
Technical detail
EcoImpactHub is designed to model each permitted point (the oxidizer stack, the scrubber, the wastewater outfall) as a monitored site with permit thresholds, and to check readings against them as they are recorded, so a low combustion temperature or an out-of-range pH raises a breach at the right severity. Automatic sensor ingestion is on its roadmap, and triage of probe faults is a target experience. The abatement downtime log records each outage's start and end, the batches venting as reported by ManufacturedOps, an excess-emissions estimate with its method and the report due date; a waste tab tracks each container's accumulation start. The repair is designed to pass to AssetHandler as a work order against the oxidizer, and AssetHandler's sustainability view, built on EcoImpactHub metrics, is designed to rank energy use by asset beside the site's emissions trend.
Every abatement outage and permit exceedance has a start time, a cause, the batches involved and an owner, and the deviation report starts from records rather than memory.
EcoImpactHub
Logs each oxidizer, scrubber, nitrous oxide abatement or outfall event with its limit, duration, batches venting, excess estimate, repair and report due date, plus waste container clocks.
Works with ManufacturedOps, AssetHandler
AssetHandler
Is designed to rank energy use by asset beside the site's emissions trend, using EcoImpactHub metrics, so the oxidizer, boilers and chillers behind the footprint stand out.
Challenge 6 of 6
At 8:10 a.m. on Wednesday a distributor writes: an industrial customer says panels sprayed with epoxy primer lot 24-0917 are peeling at the edges. The same queue holds a recoat-window question at low temperature, a request for the current SDS and a storage question. To answer the complaint, the technical service chemist needs the lot's certificate of analysis, its batch record, the retained sample and the list of other customers who received the same lot, which means three systems and a walk to the retain room while the distributor waits.
Slow or unsupported answers cost repeat orders, and a complaint closed without evidence can hide a batch problem that is already at other customers.
Botlit is designed to answer routine customer questions from your approved technical and safety data sheets and pass complaints to technical service with the batch number attached. ManufacturedOps and MoveTheWheels are designed to show where that batch came from and which customers received it, and LabsOfScience records the re-test of the kept sample, so the reply rests on evidence.
Technical detail
Botlit is designed to run a technical service desk for distributors and customers on messaging channels, answering routine questions only from approved technical and safety data sheets, citing the document and section, and handing complaints, formulation questions and anything about exposure to a person with the product, lot number and symptom attached; cited answers and hand-off to people are on its roadmap. ManufacturedOps genealogy (in progress) is designed to trace lot 24-0917 back to its raw-material lots and batch record; MoveTheWheels shipment records, designed to carry lot numbers, are designed to list every customer that received it. The chemist opens the investigation in LabsOfScience as an experiment and records the retained-sample re-test and application panels as numbered runs; the result decides whether the case becomes a non-conformance with corrective action in ManufacturedOps.
Routine questions get cited answers at any hour, and every complaint reaches a chemist with the lot history, the customers who received it and the re-test in one case.
Botlit
Answers distributor and customer questions from approved technical and safety data sheets with citations, and hands complaints to technical service by lot.
Works with ManufacturedOps, LabsOfScience

LabsOfScience
Holds the complaint investigation as an experiment, with the retained-sample re-test and application panels recorded as numbered runs.
How it fits together
Follow one batch's journey through the products. Each step is one product doing its part and handing a concrete record on to another product; the hand-offs show how the products are designed to work together. EcoImpactHub works alongside the run, logging any abatement outage against the batches venting at the time.
To ManufacturedOps: the reactor's status and the booked valve work
To CrewFoundry: who passed the check on the new procedure
To ManufacturedOps: who is cleared to run the new procedure
To LabsOfScience: batch samples and the tests the grade needs
To ManufacturedOps: test results that decide release or rework
To MoveTheWheels: which batches are released to ship
To Botlit: what shipped, which batches and which safety data sheet

Questions
No. ManufacturedOps is designed to sit between your business system and the plant floor, and your business system stays the home for finance and customer orders. LabsOfScience can start with the lab tests that decide release, and you can decide later how results from an existing lab system should come in.
Technical detail
No. ManufacturedOps is designed to sit between the ERP and the plant floor; its current pre-launch build includes an API and one accounting-system connector that exchanges inventory items both ways, and order and BOM sync are on its roadmap. LabsOfScience holds test methods, runs and results behind its own API, so a site can start with the QC tests that decide release and decide later how results from an existing laboratory system should arrive. The ERP stays the system of record for finance and customer orders.
No. The products are designed to keep the records, due dates and checks your safety, shipping and environmental programs rely on, and to show gaps early. Your people and advisers stay responsible for meeting the rules, and the products hold no certifications.
Technical detail
No product can do that for you. These products are designed to keep the records, due dates and checks those programs depend on (inspection intervals, deferrals, change reviews, training by procedure revision, shipping details, permit readings) and to make gaps visible early. Your people, procedures and advisers stay responsible for compliance. The products hold no certifications ahead of launch, and EcoImpactHub is not a regulatory authority.
No. It is designed to answer only from the data sheets you have approved and to name the section it used. Questions about exposure, first aid or spills go to a person, and the agent points to the emergency number on the safety data sheet.
Technical detail
No. The technical service agent is designed to answer only from the approved technical data sheets and safety data sheets in its knowledge base and to cite the section it used. Questions about exposure, first aid, spills or anything the documents do not cover are designed to go to a person, and the agent points to the emergency number printed on the SDS. Content policies are designed to set what it may and may not answer; cited answers and hand-off to people are on Botlit's roadmap.
Yes. Each product works on its own, so you can start with the problem that hurts most, such as batch release or inspection dates, and add the others later without setting up your people and their roles again.
Technical detail
Yes. Each product works on its own on Burdenoff Workspaces, so a site can start where the pain is sharpest, such as batch release with ManufacturedOps and LabsOfScience, or relief valve and vessel dates in AssetHandler, and add the other products later without re-entering people and roles, which Burdenoff Workspaces shares across products.
No. Each product keeps its own name. You configure what matters: which of your data sheets the agent answers from, which channels it uses, what it may answer and when it hands over to your team. There is no custom development.
Technical detail
No. Botlit and the other products are offered under their own names; they are not rebranded. What you configure is the substance: the knowledge base of your technical and safety data sheets, the channels your distributors use, the questions the agent may answer and the rules for handing off to your technical service team. Configuration is built into the product; there is no custom development.
The products are pre-launch. Some parts shown here are built and others are on each product's roadmap, and the connections between products describe how they are designed to work together, not something you can switch on today.
Technical detail
The products are pre-launch. Each product's own page separates what is built from what is on its roadmap; for example, ManufacturedOps' material-lot genealogy is in progress and certificates of analysis are planned, CrewFoundry's shift rosters are planned, and EcoImpactHub's permit and waste tracking are on its roadmap. The industry views on this page and the hand-offs between products describe how they are designed to work together, not integrations you can switch on today.
