EX Inspector working
EOS Europe is a leading offshore electrical contractor, specialising in the delivery of advanced, digitised electrical services to the oil and gas industry. With a strong focus on maintaining the highest standards in the inspection and maintenance of Ex (explosive atmosphere) equipment, EOS Europe operates with precision and reliability in some of the most demanding offshore environments.
Our teams are fully trained and equipped to ensure compliance with all relevant industry regulations, while optimising efficiency and safety. Trusted by major energy companies, EOS Europe combines deep technical expertise with a steadfast commitment to operational excellence, supporting clients across the North Sea and international offshore regions in achieving maximum uptime and full regulatory compliance.
EOS Europe was recently awarded a contract to upgrade a client’s traditional, paper-based Ex inspection and repair system – covering both hazardous and safe areas – to a fully digital solution. This transformation was delivered through our partnership with a specialist provider of bespoke data management systems, utilising cutting-edge software, Ex-rated industrial handheld PDAs, and RFID technology.
The implementation of EOS Europe’s EX-DMS (Digital Management System) significantly streamlined inspection and maintenance processes, enhancing both efficiency and accuracy.

EX Software Dashboard
The system enables seamless capture of statutory data, making it easy for clients to demonstrate compliance with applicable legislation. Key benefits include:
- Efficient collection and centralised management of critical asset data
- Secure, real-time reporting and trend analysis of faults
- Comprehensive, auditable asset histories
- Prioritisation and scheduling based on risk-based inspections
- Dynamic progress tracking and grouping of fault types for streamlined repairs
Our Comp Ex-certified inspectors conducted the initial inspections using the EX DMS platform, installing RFID tags on the inspected assets. This enabled real-time status visibility, automated checklist selection in accordance with IEC 60079 standards, and improved traceability of all maintenance activities.
EOS Europe continues to set the benchmark for digital transformation in offshore electrical services, delivering smart, compliant, and efficient solutions that support the future of energy operations.
