TruPDA

4.7/10

TruPDA is mobile field data collection software from Abu Dhabi-based Trust Technical Services, used for operator rounds, equipment readings and inspections at oil, gas and process plants.

Data last updated November 2026 · Our methodology

Overview

TruPDA is a module of the TruTech software suite from Trust Technical Services, an Abu Dhabi engineering, automation and IT company. It moves field data collection onto mobile devices. Operators and maintenance or inspection staff follow scheduled or observation rounds, scan NFC or RFID tags at checkpoints, and record equipment readings. Supervisors then review historical readings, trends and dashboards in a web application. It is built for hazardous industrial sites. It has been tested on intrinsically safe Ex-certified tablets and smartphones from ecom (Pepperl+Fuchs), such as the Tab-Ex 05 series. Generic Android tablets, phones and Windows desktops also work. The vendor lists deployments for condition monitoring of rotating equipment at ADNOC Takreer, and for operator round tracking and truck inspections at Saudi Aramco. TruPDA sends rounds data into the companion TruOperate operations software. At the suite level, the vendor says TruTech connects to real-time databases such as historians, ERP systems and other third-party systems. A separate TruPDA Marine variant covers marine inspections, HSE audits and rounds. There is no public pricing. Directory listings mention a free trial and describe it as a paid app, so buyers should expect project-based quotes for licensing and implementation. TruPDA suits large oil, gas and petrochemical operators in the Gulf region that want a rounds tool alongside other TruTech modules. Its main limitation is how little public information exists. There is no product documentation, published integration list, security page or user reviews. The ecom app library entry was last updated in 2018, and the product's own trupda.com domain no longer resolved during this research.

Good fit

  • The vendor's TruPDA projects are at ADNOC and Aramco refineries and gas plants, and listings aim it at refinery, gas plant and drilling inspections.

  • It centres on tracked operator rounds, and the data feeds the TruOperate operations management module.

Less suited

  • The client list is mostly national oil companies and large energy groups that buy through project-based engagements.

  • It supports maintenance checks and field readings on rotating equipment, but no work order management is documented.

  • There is no self-serve pricing and no public documentation, and it is sold as part of an industrial automation suite.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Tested on intrinsically safe Ex-certified handhelds such as the ecom Tab-Ex 05 series, so it can be used in hazardous Zone 1 and Zone 2 areas of oil and gas plants.
  • Supports NFC and RFID tag reading, which helps prove operators actually visited each checkpoint on a round.
  • The vendor reports deployments at major Gulf operators, including ADNOC Takreer for rotating equipment readings and Aramco for operator rounds and truck inspections.
  • Connects to other TruTech modules such as TruOperate and TruSafe, plus historian and ERP connections at the suite level, for buyers who want one regional vendor.
  • The ecom app library lists English, German, Spanish, Romanian, Turkish and Arabic, which helps multilingual Gulf workforces.

Cons

  • No public pricing, documentation, integration catalogue or security and compliance information.
  • No user reviews on SourceForge, Slashdot or softwarereview.com, so there is no independent evidence of how it performs.
  • The ecom app library entry was last updated in 2018 and lists legacy platforms such as Windows Mobile 6.5, so the product may not be under active development.
  • The product's own domain, trupda.com, did not resolve during research, and the vendor's site gives only a one-line description.
  • Directory listings do not show work order management, asset tracking or inventory, so a separate CMMS or EAM is likely needed.
