Knowledge that is hard to find
Engineering knowledge that is difficult to locate, or that depends on individual employees rather than being available to the team.
TCBB Engineering develops practical solutions to engineering and maintenance challenges, with a focus on better information, more effective processes and continuous improvement. Plant & People is the on-site plant platform.

Engineering teams need reliable information, consistent processes and visibility of what is happening across their operation. These are common industry challenges, not claims about any specific site.
01
Engineering knowledge that is difficult to locate, or that depends on individual employees rather than being available to the team.
02
Maintenance information spread across disconnected records and processes, making a clear picture of the plant harder to keep.
03
Difficulty tracking spare parts, work, competencies and training together.
04
Limited visibility of recurring issues, maintenance effectiveness and future requirements.
Plant & People
Plant & People sits on the plant’s own network. It is not a cloud service. It is a modular build: separate modules and bundles will be available, and they pass information between them. Most features are optional and can be switched off if your plant does not need them. It was designed by an engineer with more than 25 years of experience in maintenance.
Tell us which modules you would want, and which features to leave off. Send your view.
Departments, site, notices, users, organisation, shifts, teams, the audit log and backups.
Common parts, service packages, SOPs, site and isolation maps, manuals and tribal knowledge.
Open jobs, our line, handover, the LOTO log, holiday, sick and the training schedule.
Planned cards, templates, overdue work and the tablet at the machine.
Search, warnings and requests. The storeman sees the parts for a job before the engineer is told that job is scheduled.
People, the skill matrix, onboarding, a buddy or mentor, training and probation.
Metrics, charts, usage and adoption, and The Wall.
Tools for real engineering and maintenance work, not generic software features.
Information that is easier to find, maintain and use when it is needed.
Most features are optional and can be switched off if your plant does not need them. Separate modules and bundles will be available. Used together, they pass information between them.
Development informed by testing and customer feedback, so the software can keep improving.
Have an idea that could make PaP better? Let's talk. We won't dismiss a reasonable suggestion without looking at what's practicable. No empty promises, just an honest assessment.
Things Can Be Better is more than a name. It reflects our approach to development: be clear about what a solution can do, recognise where it can improve, and use feedback to make it better.
We believe customers should have the information they need to make their own decisions, without exaggerated promises or unnecessary pressure.
This is a read-only version of the real Plant & People app, for potential customers to explore. It uses the fictional Northgate Foods plant. Choose a person and open every module. A licence does not lock them. Nothing can be changed, including passwords.
Try the demoIf a job on your plant needs something PaP does not do yet, ask for it. We'll look into it and see what's practicable.
