iRiS RBI

iRiS RBI is the risk-based inspection part of the iRiS (Integrated Risk Management System) suite. It was developed by Steinbeis Advanced Risk Technologies (R-Tech) in Stuttgart, which merged into Steinbeis EU-VRi GmbH from January 2022. The software analyses pressure vessels, tanks, piping and pressure relief devices. It offers qualitative, semi-quantitative and quantitative analysis levels in line with API 581, plus an optional assessment route based on RIMAP and the European CEN Workshop Agreement CWA 15740, a document Steinbeis led. An expert-system damage module covers corrosion, cracking, fatigue, creep, high-temperature hydrogen attack and embrittlement. Consequences can be expressed as risk per unit area, financial risk or a risk-matrix position. The tool generates inspection plans automatically, supports what-if analysis for changes or new units, and produces reports on risk scenarios, matrices and likelihood and consequence bases. The vendor shows a TÜV Austria certificate for the software. In the wider iRiS-Petro platform, RBI sits alongside reliability-centred maintenance, root cause failure analysis and HSE modules on a company-wide intranet and extranet with dashboards. One industry article says the suite connects to NDT and CMMS tools. The software suits operators of process plants and engineering consultancies that run RBI studies, especially in Europe, where RIMAP alignment matters. Pricing is not published and is arranged through the vendor. The main limitation is how little current public information exists: the product pages and leaflets date from roughly 2013 to 2016, and there are no independent user reviews, release notes or published integrations.
