Cold Kiln: software for the factory-floor paperwork
A focused suite of browser tools for mechanical and defence engineering suppliers, including FAIR forms, tender monitoring, engineering calculators, and thread identification.
Field notes
The suite divides engineering work into distinct browser tools rather than presenting a broad general-purpose platform. The FAIR Builder covers AS9102 Rev C Forms 1–3 and is described as printable, while the calculators cite published worked examples as their validation basis. The fitting identifier compares JIC, ORFS, BSPP, NPT, and metric standards and specifically flags look-alike traps. Tender Monitoring is intended to rank EU and UK procurement notices by supplier fit, although its onboarding status is not fully clear.
