Digital transformation is essential to bring a positive impact during this post-covid era. With the growing pandemic scenario, imposed travel restrictions and distancing rules, maintaining the global supply chain needs and projects timeline is a threat. It has a created a force to introduce new possibilities to keep the business operational, transforming the traditional inspection to a risk-based next-generation technology without compromising on quality also adhering to regulatory compliance standards.
Remote Inspection is a digital technology for handling inspection virtually from home or office using smart devices like mobile phones or tablets, allowing virtual access to the commodities at the site that will help in carrying out inspection at any time zone or any location. The device used for the purpose should support an app to connect with the inspection experts and personnel on-site, good quality camera and internet connection. It works perfectly well even at a low bandwidth area.
The technology makes the inspection process faster, smoother and more transparent without the need for putting inspection on halt regardless of the lockdown or site accessibility restrictions for risk-prone areas. It gives the assurance the end-user expects on products or assets with a combined live streaming and better interactions with the operational team. Thus, remote inspection becomes a powerful alternative and its deployment will continue to accelerate over the coming years.
More than a virtual on-site visit and real-time live video coverage, Remote Inspection yield a lot of other benefits. Multiple parties can witness it from different locations, maintaining the quality level of inspection that instills confidence in clients. The process becomes simpler with a reduced turnaround time to deliver better outputs. Moreover, it reduces the travel mileage cost and travel fatigue for engineers without the need for their physical presence at the site.
The real-time photos and data stored in the cloud are available anytime and anywhere making the end results more accurate and reliable. Live video streaming, zoom option and screenshots allow viewing it for future clarifications, better reporting and documentation.
The transformation of the service delivery model will eliminate the need for direct contact thereby mitigating the risk exposed to inspectors and clients. It significantly safeguards and prevents on-site accidents and HSE risk. Hence, deploying remote inspection technology will optimize and streamline the inspection process at your fingertips.
