Inspection Templates Overview Video

Inspections are by far the most common form of preventive maintenance procedures. Typically, an inspection involves an established list of tasks to be performed and critical points examined to avoid potentially costly breakdowns.  

Companies often follow industry-standard inspections, but it is also very common to see organizations with custom inspection forms made for specific equipment or occasions. Inspection Templates give you the ability to recreate those inspections digitally, so when the time comes, you are assured that your vital assets are being examined and cared for.  

Inspection templates gives your the ability to:

  • Easily prepare planned reoccurring inspections for your maintenance schedules 
  • On-demand inspections are available at a moments notice
  • Know exactly when an Inspection standard was established and last updated
  • Establish To-Do Lists & Critical Checklists
  • Work Orders can be auto-generated when a problem is discovered
  • Integrates seamlessly with Work Orders, Operator Companion, and Work Companion
  • Templates can be pushed out to specific assets or groups of assets

  • Photos:  Pictures of the working or damaged equipment
  • Meter / Log Entry:  Record Mileage, Hours, Fuel, Temp., etc.
  • Text Entry
