Case study
A configuration-driven inspection analytics platform that replaces a multi-sheet Excel workflow—importing raw inspection data, applying formula-based analysis, comparing ILI and NDE datasets, and generating trend analysis and unity plots at scale.

The problem
Challenges We Faced
- Multi-sheet Excel dependencyCore inspection workflows lived inside a complex, hard-to-maintain multi-sheet Excel system that was risky at scale.
- Error-prone manual analysisFormula-based calculations applied across many sheets created hidden errors that were difficult to trace and audit.
- Fragmented dataset comparisonComparing ILI and NDE datasets required tedious manual alignment that slowed down inspection cycles.
- No path to automationThe existing setup could not support future automation, integration, or scaling requirements.
What the client needed
Inspection teams depended on a complex Excel system that was difficult to maintain, error-prone, and unable to support future automation requirements.
Our approach
Core Bracket's Solution
- Centralized data importBuilt a structured import pipeline for raw inspection data that replaces manual spreadsheet ingestion.
- Configuration-driven engineImplemented a calculation engine where formulas and rules are managed through configuration instead of hidden cells.
- ILI and NDE comparisonDesigned dedicated workflows for aligning and comparing ILI and NDE datasets with clear inspection insights.
- Automated trend and unity plotsGenerated trend analysis and unity plots automatically, replacing brittle manual chart construction.
We delivered NC Unity Plot as a centralized platform that handles data import, configuration-driven calculations, ILI/NDE comparison, and automated trend and unity plot generation.
The outcome
Results We Achieved
- Zero spreadsheet dependencyInspection analysis no longer relies on a fragile multi-sheet Excel workflow.
- More reliable analysisConfiguration-driven calculations produce consistent, traceable results across inspection cycles.
- Faster comparison cyclesILI and NDE datasets are compared and visualized far more quickly than the previous manual approach.
- Ready for automationA maintainable, extensible platform prepared for future automation and integration needs.
The platform replaced fragile spreadsheets with a maintainable, scalable system ready for future automation across inspection workflows.
