Eigen BSP
Know the true state of your
safety barriers. In real-time.
What are safety barriers and what does Eigen BSP do?
Safety barriers are designed to prevent major accident hazards from occurring, usually represented in a Bowtie diagram. They are essential in high-risk environments. These barriers are not just physical objects; they consist of barrier functions that are directly linked to safety and environment critical elements (SECEs).
Safety-critical elements and barrier functions can become impaired, reducing the effectiveness of the barrier structure.
Preventative or mitigating barrier functions, organised in several bowtie diagrams, can be associated to systems, performance standards, procedures, major accident hazards or protected areas.
By modelling all these relationships in a Knowledge Graph, Eigen BSP can determine the impact of barrier impairments on different contexts.
Common sources of impairment can include corrective and preventive maintenance, risk assessments and action items, inhibits and overrides, device alerts and alarms.
The Eigen Barrier Status Panel (BSP) continuously monitors the health of all safety barriers by tracking these impairments in real time. This enables teams to:
- Real-time barrier performance monitoring
- Identify impairments early to prioritise maintenance and mitigation actions
- Maintain a clear view of operational risk
- Aggregate risk across the asset in different contexts
- Access historical barrier status
With Eigen BSP, you get a live, data-driven overview of barrier integrity, giving you the confidence and clarity to manage risk proactively and make informed decisions.
Real-Time Risk Analysis
Interactive Displays
Online Data Connectivity
Powered by Digital Twin Technology
Review your current risk status in real-time
A visual way to easily understand cumulative risk and drill down into the details.
Eigen BSP connects to existing systems and updates in realtime to show you the current health of your Safety
Barriers.
Multiple views - one source of truth
The application is built around a data model (or Digital Twin) of the barriers. The model can be viewed or ‘cut’ in different ways to present relevant views for different people.
- By Asset (Overview)
- By Area
- By System
- By Major Accident Hazard
- By Performance Standard
- For Work Planning
Access everything fast via a single common menu
Everything is interactive. Clicking on an object brings up Eigen’s unique Common Menu showing the reason for the status and provides a link to the source data in other systems.
Other tabs in the Common Menu give instant access to related data in other systems (if they are connected) such as data historians, document stores, maintenance systems etc.
Status is derived from information across multiple different systems in real-time using a Digital Twin.

Every component is interactive and can be clicked to drill down to the level of SECE impairment and safety observations made throughout the facility.
Connect live information in other systems
Eigen BSP supports all typical forms of data connectors including REST APIs, RDBMS, Text files and manual entry for connecting to systems such as Maximo, SAP, Aveva Workmate, Synergi, Excel and control systems.
Extract SECE status, maintenance schedules and safety observations among other barrier impairment indicators from source systems.
Gaining control of barrier risk across a complex asset
Challenge
A major Norwegian operator lacked a reliable, real-time view of safety barrier performance across a complex asset. Critical data was spread across maintenance, risk and operational systems, making it difficult to verify barrier health or understand cumulative risk. Teams relied on periodic reports and manual checks, creating blind spots. Emerging issues were often only identified once they had escalated, leaving limited time to respond and increasing exposure to operational risk.
Solution
Eigen BSP was deployed to connect these data sources into a single, live view of barrier performance across the entire field. Using knowledge graph technology and real-time data integration, the platform aggregates performance across barriers, systems and equipment, presenting it through intuitive visualisations. Users can identify impairments quickly and drill down to root cause within a few clicks.
Impact
Issues are now identified earlier, investigated faster and understood in context. This has enabled a shift from reactive reporting to proactive risk management, with stronger assurance and more confident operational decision-making.
