The Application Programming Interface (API) acts as a digital bridge, allowing the Kenexis Integrated Safety Suite to communicate seamlessly with your other business and engineering software applications. This connectivity is invaluable for Kenexis users, as it breaks down data silos and automates critical process safety management workflows. By using the API, you can exchange data between the Safety Suite and systems like your ERP, maintenance management, or custom reporting tools. Ultimately, this integration minimizes manual data entry, reduces the risk of human error, and provides a single, unified source of truth for making faster, more informed, and proactive safety decisions.

The API empowers users to automate their process safety workflows by programmatically accessing and manipulating data within our software.  This means you can use the API to automatically pull study results into a corporate dashboard, push up-to-date equipment data from an external asset management system into your PHA or SIL verification studies, or generate custom reports outside of the native application.

Key API features include:

• Data Read/Write Access: Securely access and update study data from core modules like Open-PHA^® and Vertigo^™.
• Workflow Automation: Integrate safety data directly with other corporate systems (e.g., Business Intelligence Tools such as Power BI^® and Tableau^®, CMMS, ERP).
• Custom Reporting: Extract data for advanced analytics and tailored compliance documentation.
• Extensible Platform: Create custom applications that leverage Kenexis’ robust safety calculations and methodologies.

The Kenexis Integrated Safety Suite utilizes its open Application Programming Interface (API) to facilitate powerful data integrations, allowing for a truly connected Process Safety Management (PSM) ecosystem. For example, using the Open-PHA Get Study API call as shown below, an external business intelligence (BI) tool or a corporate data warehouse can send a standardized request to KISS to retrieve an entire Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) study. The API securely processes this request and returns the organized data in the structured format of JSON. This automated data retrieval allows management dashboards and company-wide reporting systems to be synchronized with the most current risk analysis information, eliminating manual data transfer and ensuring timely, data-driven decision-making across the organization.
