Beamex Introduces a Paperless Solution for Maintenance Inspections
Beamex, a leading worldwide provider of calibration solutions, says it has introduced a new mobile, paperless solution for maintenance related inspection activities. The Beamex Integrated Calibration Solution can now manage both calibrations and inspections.
In today’s process industry, there are various different maintenance activities that need to be carried out at specified intervals, and the results must be documented. According to several surveys that have been conducted by Beamex many inspections are still done with a paper based solution, carrying paper in the field and making the notes with a pen. Research has also stated that in most cases, it is the same technicians that perform both the calibration and the inspection activities.
Beamex has been producing calibration equipment for more than 40 years and calibration software for over 20 years. The latest software is called Beamex CMX calibration management software. Beamex has now added a new functionality into the CMX software called “Maintenance Inspection”.
In addition to the new functionality in CMX software, Beamex also introduces an Android mobile application called “Beamex bMobile” that can be used to perform and document inspection activities on the factory floor. These inspections can be any preventive maintenance, safety system, hazardous area, or any other inspections. The application is available from the Google Play store and from Beamex. The software can communicate with the Beamex bMobile application enabling a streamlined and fully paperless solution for maintenance inspections.
-In addition to managing the calibration activities, Beamex Integrated Calibration Solution can now also manage all your inspection activities. This is something that our customers have been requesting from us for a long time, says Beamex’s Product Marketing Manager, Mr Heikki Laurila.
When using the Beamex CMX software for inspections you can plan and schedule all your activities and make detailed instructions for each inspection. When it is time to make the inspection, you can send the work orders from CMX to the Android tablet or Android phone, the Beamex bMobile application guides you through all the inspection activities and allows you to make the Pass or Fail decisions and add notes. The test results are stored in the mobile device and once back in the office you can upload the results into the CMX software. They are hereby automatically stored into the database, so reports may be printed, and the scheduling can be updated.
You can still utilize all the advanced functions of the CMX software for the Maintenance inspection functionality. All the activities available for calibration are now also available for the inspection activities, for example; electronic signature, audit trail, user management and enterprise level wan architecture.
