4-SYTE vs AWARE
When comparing apples to oranges, one must decide if they want sweet or tart
Thielsch is an engineering company, not a software company. We create tools to make your jobs easier, so you can utilize your time in
the wisest manner possible.
Aware is a Software
2-D Models
Data Management only
All Data Maintenance is plant responsibility (many plants contract this work out
resulting in increased costs and lack of consistency on data input)
Models CAN NOT be altered or updated with unit modifications or replacements etc.
Intranet Based, IT support required
Plant absorbs all costs for software upgrades, program enhancements etc.
If contracting out data entry each report can cost approx. $4,000 to enter.

% Success is dependent on effective
safety and risk management
• System age, operation, materials,
access, stress, weld type etc are
calculated into risk assignment.
• System inspection, repair and
replacement history are calculated
into risk assignment.
• Unit outage intervals and life
expectancy are calculated into risk
assignment.
• A system specific plan is
developed with risk assignments
broken into 5 level tiers for
evaluation.
