Component Management

Components are physical items or regions that are inspected during a project. InspectionBank allows you to customize the attributes for various aspects of the component identification to provide greater reporting detail.   Component records can even include GPS coordinates and be plotted on a map.  The component summaries empower planning for analysis scheduling.  With built-in tools such as Component Catalog and Component Templates, setting up new components is quick and easy.  

Inspection Life Cycle

InspectionBank supports the entire inspection life cycle, from acquisition through analysis and resolution to reporting.

Inspection Management

InspectionBank stores all inspection files in a DMS (Document Management System) that controls concurrent access to inspection files.  Easily drag and drop inspection files into InspectionBank. 

Disconnected Mobile Client

Inspection happens in the field...manage it here too.

Technicians working in the field can use the disconnected mobile client on the job site to collect data, and sync back to the master database at their convenience. This allows for instant remote analysis instead of waiting for data to be brought back to the office.

Project Management

If your company is returning to the same site for a different project, you might end up using the same components in multiple projects. The list of inspections associated with those components can add up quickly. InspectionBank's Project Mode feature allows you to change the Inspection view, and will display detail from all projects, a single project, or just a quick comparison between multiple projects.

People Management

InspectionBank's People tab allows you to identify and track the people working on various projects, enabling resource planning, and will track personal/professional information, certifications, training, job roles, and documents related to a person. 

Scheduling and Resource Management

The built-in resource scheduler lets you manage your equipment and people effectively.
An industry standard Gantt chart allows you to quickly and easily visualize where people and equipment are, as well as their upcoming availability.

Reminders

Make sure your company is prepared with working/calibrated equipment and up-to-date certifications.  The Reminders section of InspectionBank is used to create reminders such as calibration dates for specific equipment, and certification renewals etc.   Reminders are automatically created based on the date entered for "Next Calibration/Renewal".

Asset Management

You have invested a lot of money in your NDT equipment.  How do you keep track of it all?  InspectionBank manages and tracks all your NDT assets and supporting documentation, even user manuals and images. 
Detailed calibration records are sorted and managed and include the ability to embed certification documents, ensuring access to information at audit time. The built-in resource scheduler allows you to schedule who is using equipment and when.

Document Management

InspectionBank also includes ProControl.  ProControl is a procedure and technique management system built on Eclipse Scientific's DMS (Document Management System) architecture. It is a fully revision controlled system that facilitates document check-outs, edits, check-ins, version histories, subscriptions and access control.
The ProControl client allows users to manage a set of procedures and their supporting documents.  Access to documents is controlled by the roles assigned to individual users. The user interface is dynamically restructured based on the roles assigned to the user logging in, to make locating and viewing relevant documents as easy as possible.

Third-Party Integration

InspectionBank is designed for easy integration with other NDT software applications.  Users of InspectionWare and UltraVision can export the scans and indications they've acquired directly into InspectionBank without the effort of re-entering data.  InspectionBank also has a simple XML format that can be generated and imported into the system, allowing for any application to streamline data input.

Architecture

The inspection management system is a server-based architecture for centrally storing, managing and controlling access to documents and raw scan data. SQL Server provides security for documents, while supporting attribution enables management of multiple versions of a document and controls user access to the documents.
The server can be accessed within a corporate network or may be configured to allow access through the internet if desired.
