SIRFULL

SIRFULL develops and provides Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions for industrial manufacturers and operators, focusing on enhancing equipment safety and operational longevity. The company was established in 2011 by experts in welding and industrial inspection and is headquartered in Schiltigheim, France. The founder and chairman, Jean-Claude Lambolez, began his career as a maintenance mechanic and, through evening classes, became an engineer specializing in materials and welding. His extensive experience revealed a gap in the digitalization of welding quality and industrial safety, which motivated him to establish SIRFULL.

The company's business model is centered on providing cloud-based software subscriptions that help clients digitize and optimize their industrial processes. Serving a client base that includes over 200 industrial sites across more than 15 countries, SIRFULL manages over two million assets. Its target market encompasses any industrial site, including high-risk facilities like SEVESO sites, and serves various industries from major groups to smaller enterprises. A significant milestone was the acquisition of 2IO, a firm specializing in inspection software, in 2018, which expanded its capabilities. In 2024, the company secured €6 million in funding from investors including INNOVACOM, WILLE FINANCE, and DEMETER to fuel its European expansion and accelerate the integration of Artificial Intelligence into its products.

SIRFULL offers two primary cloud solutions: Welding Cloud and Linspec Cloud. Welding Cloud is a comprehensive platform for managing all aspects of welding operations. It enables users to digitalize the monitoring of welds, manage welder qualifications (WPQ), welding procedure specifications (WPS), and procedure qualification records (PQR), ensuring compliance with standards like ASME, AWS, and EN ISO. The software helps prevent non-conformities by alerting users to incompatibilities in procedures or materials, thereby reducing the risk of equipment failure and repair costs. It centralizes all welding data, from preparation to final inspection reports, offering complete traceability.

Linspec Cloud is an asset integrity management solution designed for the inspection and regulatory monitoring of industrial equipment. It provides a comprehensive overview of a facility's equipment, allowing for intelligent planning of inspection schedules based on risk and criticality, utilizing Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) methodology. The software centralizes inspector reports, standardizes procedures, and can be integrated with third-party systems like ERP and CMMS. By enabling proactive management and early risk detection, Linspec Cloud enhances operational safety and extends the service life of assets.
