The Inspections feature on the Tractian platform standardizes equipment condition checks, enabling proactive failure detection aligned with smart monitoring tools. This ensures more efficient and data-driven asset management.
In addition to identifying failures, inspections play two key roles:
Data Auditing: Validates both automatically generated insights and offline predictive inspections, such as thermography and oil analysis.
Predictive Team Management: Helps prioritize failures and delegate actions to the right team members.
Accessing and Viewing Inspections
Go to the "Inspections" section in the main menu. There are two ways to view inspections:
Panel View
Best for in-depth inspection analysis.
Filter by Responsible, Date, Location/Asset, or Priority.
Inspections generated from insights include a direct link to the related insight.
Track real-time status of execution.
Table View
Ideal for bulk management.
Manage multiple inspections efficiently.
Filter, edit, and organize inspections with customized criteria.
How to Create a New Inspection
1. From an Insight
When the platform detects a failure, it generates an Insight. You can create an inspection directly from it:
Open the insight and click "In Inspection";
Name the inspection with a clear title;
If there are multiple insights, link them to a single inspection to centralize evaluation;
The platform will suggest automated procedures based on the failure type and asset configuration. To understand how to register Procedures for Inspections, read this article.
You can also add procedures manually, like PPE checks or safety instructions.
Fill out the required fields (Responsible, Priority, Description) and click Save. You'll now be able to view this Inspection directly through the Inspections tab.
Inspections can be performed via the Tractian App, even in offline mode. Data syncs automatically once the device is back online.
After the field check, finalize the inspection and update its status.
If you are also responsible for validating the related insights, you can do so immediately or later. Otherwise, skip this step.
2. Manual Inspections
You can also create inspections not linked to an insight:
Go to the "Inspections" tab and click "Add";
Fill out the necessary information and save;
After completing the field check, finalize the inspection and update its status.
If a failure is found during the manual inspection, you will be redirected to the Events tab to register it.
