Passporting:

for safety
equipment identification
electronic passport

Inspections:

acceptance inspections, random inspections
visual, close-up, detailed inspections
metrology inspections

Reports:

electronic version
quick access
technical documentation of equipment

Planning:

in accordance with applicable regulations
access to completed and scheduled inspections
operation management

Reliability:

forces the inspector’s presence next to the device
dedicated check lists
eliminates errors

State-of-the-art technology:

mobile device
easy operation
reduced physical documentation

Multiple benefits in a single solution

The system guarantees a company’s compliance with regulations.
You can be sure that the inspection has been carried out.

Certified safety

Decision KDB No. 16.E.002 for the Inspector-Ex® system

The Inspector-Ex® system was successfully certified by the Barbara Experimental Mine (a notified body of the Polish Central Mining Institute). An independent third party has confirmed that the Inspector-Ex® system complies with the requirements of: PN-EN 60079-17:2014 Explosive atmospheres – Part 17: Electrical installations inspection and maintenance.

As part of operation management, the Inspector-Ex® system allows you to:

create databases and equipment passports
modify inspection points and choose your own types of measurements, e.g. temperature, vibrations
keep a schedule of equipment inspections
use an interactive calendar
input the collected data into the system following the inspection
create and modify a device inspection sheet

indicate any nonconformities and next steps for equipment
process data from previous inspections for the purpose of optimising the plant operation costs
generate equipment inspection reports
archive reports
provide authorised people with online access to the reports
provide system administrators with the possibility of remote configuration

Comprehensive safety system

Mobile app adapted for harsh operating conditions

Inspector-Ex® system modules:

An operator of the system has maximum control and monitoring capabilities, both in terms of the current state of the plant, as well as any devices.

Autonomous supervising module (AUR) – integrated software for inspections of installations, nodes and critical equipment.

The module supports the supervising work of the staff.
A planned inspection route excludes the possibility of an omission.
A well thought-out route reduces the time necessary to perform the work.
Complete range of customised modifications.

LDAR (Leak Detection and Repair) module – module for maintenance at sites controlling fugitive leakages of volatile organic compounds.

The Inspector-LDAR system supports the LDAR software as regards:

equipment records,
emission spots tagging (QR, RFID),
measurements input (current readings),
exceeding notification with an alert and a repair job (in the form of a report),
photographic documentation (also in the IR technology),
interoperation with an OGI thermal camera – EyeCGas® VOC,
interoperation with, e.g. SAP.

SVC module – supporting and coordinating the work of field maintenance teams.

Equipment records and QR or RFID tagging.
Service technician records, place and time of the repair.
Visualisation of the equipment and service teams location on a map.
Convenient digital schedule.
Digital archives and full history of maintenance works.
Remote dispatch of maintenance teams.
Confirmation of a maintenance visit at a specific location.
Confirmation of a service technician’s presence by the device.
Dedicated check lists.
Photographic documentation with commentary.
Electronic report following a service visit.
Remote access to electronic service reports.

The Implementation Department offers the expansion of the system with additional functional modules in order to adapt it to the client’s needs.
