What is BlueCats?
BlueCats is a 100% Australian-owned software company based in Sydney. We enable efficient compliance during complex maintenance by digitising process, eliminating paperwork and increasing real-time visibility. Our systems are in service with the Royal Australian Navy, Thales, BAE Systems, Babcock, Norsta Maritime and Atlantic Peninsula.
What is digital isolation management?
Digital isolation management replaces paper-based lock-out / tag-out (LOTO) with software. Isolation boundaries are planned electronically, danger tags are electronic rather than handwritten, and every apply, lock on, lock off and restore event is recorded live in one system of record.
What is OneTag?
OneTag is our digital isolation management system. It plans, applies, tracks and restores isolations with electronic danger tags, reusable boundary templates and live site-wide visibility — proven at the scale of 250,000+ isolation points across 30+ vessels. It runs on-premise with no cloud reliance.
What is M2?
M2 is our digital permit-to-work system. It runs the full permit lifecycle from draft to surrender, with task-based risk assessment, dual electronic sign-off and a complete audit trail. Permits are gated by isolation status in OneTag, so work cannot start until isolations are hung and verified.
What is QMS?
QMS is our quality management system: mobile inspection and test forms with a no-code form builder, offline capture, live dashboards and a tamper-evident hash-chained audit trail.
Does OneTag require cloud connectivity?
No. OneTag is designed to operate locally, with no reliance on cloud connectivity. This reduces cyber-security risk, increases reliability, and allows a frictionless transition from shore-based maintenance to at-sea use.
How is this different from paper LOTO?
NO written tags and NO written forms. Policy is enforced by the system every time rather than relying on manual checks, boundaries are reusable templates instead of one-off paperwork, and the audit trail is complete, searchable and tamper-evident. In one 12-week major vessel docking maintenance activity, digitisation saved around 100 hours per week of maintenance.
Who uses BlueCats?
Defence and industrial maintenance organisations, including the Royal Australian Navy, Thales, BAE Systems, Babcock, Norsta Maritime and Atlantic Peninsula. BlueCats is a DISP member and ISO 27001 certified.
