Insight checking on the Tractian platform ensures accurate diagnostics, fault traceability, and more efficient asset management. Properly recording information during this step is essential to maintain a complete history of interventions and support future maintenance decisions.
Checking an Insight
Access the desired Insight and click “Check”;
In the “Assessment” field, select the type of Insight and describe objectively what was identified during the field inspection.
Insight Assessments
Potential Failure
When an Insight is marked as a Potential Failure, it will be monitored by the Tractian system to closely track the development of failure modes.
You can:
Link this failure to an existing Event under the “Event” section.
Or create a new Event from this failure by clicking “+ Add New Event”.
To learn more about creating and managing Events, check out this article.
Functional Failure
In addition to linking or creating an Event, the following fields must be filled in:
Identified Failures: To add multiple failures, click “+ Add” at the top right of the section.
Event Location or Asset: Specify where the failure occurred.
Problem Status:
If unresolved, enter the start date/time of the event.
If resolved, provide:
Event Period: start and end of the failure.
Downtime: period the asset was not operating.
Repair Time: time spent by the maintenance team.
Savings:
Avoided Downtime: time the asset would have remained offline if the issue hadn’t been addressed.
Avoided Repair Time: time saved through preventive action or efficient correction.
Process Adjustment
In addition to selecting the Event’s Location or Asset, you must define:
Cause: what led to the equipment stoppage.
Event Period: start and end date/time of the process adjustment.
Important notes:
When an Event is created from an Insight, it can be tracked directly in the “Reliability” tab on the platform.
For customers using TracOS™, in both Functional Failure and Process Adjustment events, it is possible to add any related Work Order or Request directly during the Insight checking process. Simply click "Add Work Order or Request" below the Description section.
Sensor Change, No Failures Found, or Dismissed
In these cases, the Insight will be archived, as no failure or impact on the asset’s operation was identified.
Still, we recommend adding a detailed description of the verification to maintain the intervention history.
