AGAAS, the AI Agent and Automation Architecture
The agents work where the paperwork lives: regulatory tracking across NABL, BIS, IBR and AERB, sample-receipt triage and scope mapping, Z-score variance flagging in proficiency testing, and film-to-digital radiography archival with weld-joint metadata.

In brief
AGAAS is the AI agent and automation architecture that TCR Engineering Services Pvt. Ltd., a NABL ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited laboratory (certificate NABLT0726MH18640) headquartered in Navi Mumbai, runs across its inspection and laboratory workflows in India and the GCC: regulatory compliance, sample-receipt triage, quotation handling, proficiency-testing checks and radiography film digitalisation. It is not sold as a standalone product.
Where AGAAS Operates
AGAAS works in five domains of TCR's operating workflow, from regulatory compliance and sample receipt to quotations, proficiency-testing checks and the radiography film archive. Each domain automates the records, checks and alerts around testing and inspection work; none of them performs a test or signs a result. The table sets out what the agents handle in each domain.
| Domain | AGAAS application |
|---|---|
| Compliance | Regulatory tracking (NABL, BIS, IBR, AERB), document control, audit-readiness alerting |
| LIMS triage | Sample-receipt classification, scope mapping, prioritisation, NABL deviation flagging |
| Sales quotation | RFQ parsing, price-list lookup, draft response and quotation follow-up tracking |
| Quality management | Z-score variance flagging in PT/ILC, equipment calibration alerting |
| Radiography digitalisation | Film-to-digital archival, cloud retention, weld-joint metadata capture |
What AGAAS is
AGAAS is TCR's proprietary intelligent-agent and automation architecture, running across the group's operating workflows rather than as a standalone software product.
- What it is: TCR's proprietary intelligent-agent and automation architecture.
- Where it runs: across the group's operating workflows, not as a standalone software product.
- What it is for: making the existing testing, inspection and integrity work more consistent and audit-ready.
- Where it sits: within the group's AI and digital-transformation remit, alongside the AiOM asset-integrity platform (Asset Integrity Optimisation and Management), developed by TCR Advanced Engineering.
The capability is built to make the existing testing, inspection and integrity work more consistent and audit-ready, rather than competing as a separate platform. AGAAS is part of TCR's robotic and AI-assisted inspection pillar, within the group's AI and digital-transformation remit.
Radiography digitalisation in the field
The radiography-digitalisation domain converts weld-joint film into a searchable digital archive, with cloud retention and weld-joint metadata capture.
- What the domain does: converts weld-joint film into a searchable digital archive, with cloud retention and weld-joint metadata capture.
- Volume: more than 250,000 radiographic films converted.
- Clients: IOCL and GAIL among them.
- EnProCon TJTC Kolar: 9,266 weld joints digitally scanned and cloud-archived.
TCR has converted more than 250,000 radiographic films for clients including IOCL and GAIL. On the EnProCon TJTC Kolar project, 9,266 weld joints were digitally scanned and cloud-archived.

Frequently asked questions
What is AGAAS?
AGAAS is TCR's proprietary intelligent-agent and automation architecture that runs across the group's operating workflows. It is built to strengthen the group's own testing, inspection and integrity work rather than pursued as a standalone software product.
Which workflows does AGAAS support?
AGAAS spans five domains: compliance tracking for NABL, BIS, IBR and AERB with document control and audit-readiness alerting; LIMS triage for sample-receipt classification and scope mapping; sales quotation with RFQ parsing and price-list lookup; quality management with Z-score variance flagging in proficiency testing; and radiography digitalisation.
What does AGAAS do for radiography records?
In the radiography-digitalisation domain, AGAAS handles film-to-digital archival, cloud retention and weld-joint metadata capture. TCR has converted more than 250,000 radiographic films for clients including IOCL and GAIL.
Is AGAAS a product that TCR sells?
No. AGAAS is built to make TCR's own testing, inspection and integrity work more consistent and audit-ready, and is not offered as a standalone software product.
How does TCR use AI in inspection?
TCR uses AI in two places. AGAAS, its AI agent and automation architecture, handles the records around testing and inspection: compliance tracking, sample triage, proficiency-testing variance flagging and radiography film archives. In the field, an AI-assisted robotic underwater inspection programme for BMC, begun in March 2026, covers 400+ bridges.
