Containers

Hot or Cold, Container Management Requires Rigour

Container management — whether hot or cold — remains a critical issue across all nuclear facilities.
And yet, on many sites and projects, monitoring is still handled in an improvised way:

• Isolated Excel files
• Handwritten labels that fade or disappear
• Movements untracked
• Scattered documentation
• Containers misplaced, non-compliant, or stored in the wrong location

Result: wasted time, quality gaps, extra logistics costs, and tension during audits.

Common problems observed

• No global visibility of all containers on site (storage, transit, emptying, awaiting sorting…)
• Weak or missing document control: storage plans, CSC certificates, tracking sheets…
• Partial regulatory compliance: ISO 6346 markings, unrecorded periodic checks, undocumented storage
• Difficult audit responses: “Where is this container?”, “Is it compliant?”, “How long has it been here?”

How BROLZ helps

BROLZ provides a simple, visual, and structured system to track all containers, regardless of status or use.

Key features:

• Centralised, up-to-date inventory of all containers (status, location, movement dates, associated records)
• QR code / NFC for instant field identification
• Visual mapping of storage areas (plans, zones, assignments)
• Full history of movements, inspections, and modifications
• Regulatory monitoring: certification dates, CSC status, ISO compliance
• Offline mode for operations in shielded or restricted connectivity areas

What changes in daily operations

• Always know where containers are, their status, and their contents
• Justify checks and decisions instantly during audits
• Reduce losses, duplicates, and uncertainties
• Turn a critical weak point into a driver of efficiency and compliance

Resource available for download

A detailed PDF guide is available, based on field experience and industry best practices.
It includes:

• A summary of key regulatory obligations (ASN, ISO, CSC)
• Concrete examples of logistics flows
• Standard container record templates
• A ready-to-use management method

Hot or cold, containers without structured tracking create hidden risks, costs, and audit headaches.
