Inspections

From the menu, tap Inspections and list displays the inspections that are in progress and in the other tab the completed inspections display.

 Inspections can be created in the Eptura Asset web application. Learn more in the Inspection Overview. Then the Operators of the equipment can then perform them through the Operator Companion web app. You will see the inspection has the same look and feel in both web apps.

Required tasks will be highlighted with a special indicator.

Create an Inspection

Operators of the equipment don't have to wait for Maintenance Managers to create an inspection. With the Operator Companion, Operators can search for the desired Asset and start the inspection...

Inspection Status

Inspections that are already underway, will have a flag that says    IN PROGRESS •

If the Operator attempts to open an inspection already in progress, they will see an alert asking them to decide between two options: 

  • Back out of the inspection (    Never Mind    )
  • Restart the inspection (    Start Over    )

Results of an Operator's inspection are instantly relayed to Eptura Asset web app.

Maintenance Managers can see in real-time, the current status of an ongoing inspection, and read the operator's findings even before the inspection is completed.
