QuipAssist tracks theatrical rigging inspection compliance through annual inspection schedules configured for each fly line, motorized system, and chain motor — with advance reminders firing at 90, 60, and 30 days before each annual inspection deadline. Zero-tolerance escalation rules ensure that approaching rigging inspection deadlines are immediately visible to the technical director and facility management — rigging safety is not a compliance area where any deferral is acceptable. Qualified rigger inspection reports are stored per system with the inspection date, inspector identity, and any findings or recommendations. When inspection findings require corrective work, work orders are created with the appropriate priority routing for safety-critical rigging repairs. The complete inspection history per system provides the documentation that any safety investigation, insurance review, or regulatory examination would require. Note: Theatrical rigging inspection requirements vary by jurisdiction and system type — always work with a qualified theatrical rigging engineer and your local authority having jurisdiction to confirm applicable requirements.

QuipAssist’s PM scheduling system supports maintenance window-aware configuration — where the facilities team identifies available maintenance windows from the production calendar and configures PM tasks to be scheduled within those windows. For a theater with a regular production schedule, this typically means: designating dark day periods as preferred maintenance windows when configuring PM tasks; configuring advance reminders that fire in time to schedule vendor visits during upcoming dark day windows; and building load-in maintenance programs that use the access available during technical rehearsal weeks to catch up on any PM tasks that require stage or rigging access. The production calendar itself is typically maintained in a separate scheduling system — QuipAssist’s PM scheduling works from the available windows the facilities team inputs, rather than integrating directly with ticketing or production management systems.

QuipAssist tracks any performing arts or theater venue asset — including counterweight and motorized fly systems, chain motors and hoists, theatrical dimmer systems and control consoles, moving light fixtures, conventional lighting fixtures and infrastructure, sound reinforcement systems (amplifiers, speakers, consoles, signal processing), AV and projection systems, communications and intercom systems, orchestra pit lifts and stage wagons, HVAC and climate control systems, pipe organs and resident instruments (maintenance tracking only), fire suppression and life safety systems, audience seating, accessibility lifts, lobby and front-of-house equipment, and facility building systems. Equipment categories are fully customizable for each venue’s specific asset inventory.

QuipAssist’s Asset Lifecycle Planning generates TCO and RUL data for major performing arts venue infrastructure — theatrical dimmer systems that may have 20-year replacement cycles, rigging system components with manufacturer-specified replacement intervals, HVAC systems, and building systems. The 5-year capital forecasting dashboard shows projected replacement needs by year with cost estimates — enabling venues to plan major infrastructure investments aligned to capital campaign cycles, grant application timelines, and endowment drawdown plans. For venues that fund major infrastructure replacements through capital campaigns, the documented asset condition evidence from QuipAssist supports grant applications and donor presentations with specific, data-driven capital need narratives rather than general aging arguments.
