HOW INSPECTIONS WORK Smart. Streamlined. Connected. With InspectMT™, inspections are fast, accurate, and seamlessly integrated into your maintenance strategy. Predefined Asset Routes are automatically downloaded to mobile devices, giving technicians everything they need before they step into the field. Using barcode or NFC scanning technology, assets are instantly identified — eliminating guesswork and ensuring the right inspection is performed every time. Once scanned, the system automatically displays the relevant inspection points for that asset. Operators simply enter readings, observations, and notes directly into the mobile device. When the route is complete, data is uploaded to MAINTelligence™ for processing, analysis, and actionable insights. The result? Faster inspections, better data, and smarter maintenance decisions.
