App to manage tools and safety
AS NEW TECHNOLOGY AND MACHINERY BECOME AVAILABLE AND MORE HEAVILY INTEGRATED, THE IMPORTANCE OF KEEPING A TIGHT CHECK ON WORKPLACE TOOLS HAS NEVER BEEN SO IMPORTANT.
ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS safety is a fundamental part of safety management pro- cedures within any building, factory or facility. For the optimal results, efficiency and effective inspections, many companies and organisa- tions are choosing digital inspection solutions.
Paperless inspection applications are a mirror representation of the problem in need of moni- toring. As workplace technology and machinery gets more advanced and powerful, so should management and maintenance procedures.
By ensuring that inspections are quick, effi- cient and highly accurate, workplace tools can spend less time waiting for certification, easily pass any necessary compliance and provide better return on investment. This also makes the working environment safer for employees and active users of the tools or technology. With ISO standards such as ISO 45001 continu- ously redefining the appropriate industry safe- ty levels, a current problem is the lack of ability to update safety inspection and procedures within an organisation or business activity.
This is where digital safety inspection appli- cations provide the perfect companion to safe- ty inspectors and other industry personnel. In-field technicians and inspectors can quick- ly update checklists based on the latest regu- lations and/or manufacturer instructions and
be sent information and instructions instan- taneously. Past inspections are available as reference material alongside any necessary manuals for the electronics. Visual checks can be done and recorded with a camera and pic- ture annotation, or simple standardised re- sponse forms. Technicians and Inspectors can also take advantage of taking their applica- tion offline, crucial when inspecting some electrical systems. Where some situations re- quire extra levels of safety inspection, users can use intrinsically safe devices, now much more widely available than in the past.

talising tasks, inspections and work orders, it can create a diverse yet easy-to-use manage- ment system for processing audit, quality assur- ance, compliance and any type of inspection.
The unique and adaptable solution improves operational efficiencies, transforming paper- based activities to promote better utilisation of resources and enhancing of technical exper- tise. Combining inspections, asset manage- ment, as well as a computerised maintenance management system (CMMS), Pervidi is made up of two distinct interconnected systems; the mobile device application and a back-end man- agement portal.
