Introduction

It’s important to make sure that the plant and equipment on your site is inspected and maintained in good working condition. Completing inspections regularly helps to ensure the equipment is safe for your team to continue to use and operate.

Having a standardised inspection checklist makes it easy to conduct the inspection, and make sure nothing gets missed. Any damage or faults identified might mean the equipment is not safe to operate, and readings off the equipment might mean a service is required soon.

Dashpivot standardises the process, and makes it easy to complete plant and equipment inspections in the field with high quality photos/videos attached.

How it works

Key Features

  • Standardise your plant inspections across your workforce

  • Access and fill out inspections on site using the Dashpivot mobile/tablet app, even when you're offline

  • Attach photos on the spot while filling out the inspection form in the app

  • Automatically generate a register of all your inspections

  • Quickly filter and find inspection records (by date, plant ID, project)

  • Easily see how many inspections were filled out over a specified time period eg. last month

Best Practices

  • Include a photo field so that photos and videos can be attached to the inspection

  • Use list fields where applicable (eg. plant model, plant ID), to make it easy to find records later via the register view, and filter by the list items on any analytics charts

  • In the template settings, make sure the forms are sorted by the date on the form (not the creation date)

  • In the template settings, set the form thumbnail to display the plant ID so its easy to identify which inspection was for which plant item
