As technology progresses, it becomes easy to quickly be out of date with systems, processes and knowledge. Organisations struggling with adapting to the changes in society, often forced upon us with the adoption of new tech; are turning to smart inspection to keep themselves up to date.
The term smart inspection system can mean several different things. Digital inspection systems have already started to slowly phase out the pen-and-paper method, but there is more to paperless solutions than purely eliminating paper. Digital smart inspection solutions help to collect data from any type of safety inspection, pre-start check of that new advanced machinery or even a quality control pre-rental of a new asset. What these inspections have in common is the production of tangible data and results that needs to be recorded. In a digital solution, this takes place in a mobile or tablet application, where upon input of a failed check; the system will automatically flag the issue to other teams, suggest corrective actions or prompt further inspection measurements. In this sense, it is feasible to consider such digital inspection solutions to be smart tech, that can help to understand the inspection process. Other smart features that are a common stay of smart inspection include trigger notifications to necessary personnel, automatically pre-configured suggestive actions, auto-analysis of inspections results and work order scheduling systems.
