RoundsLogging allows industrial plant technicians to use Smart Phones and Tablets for collecting equipment health information through tasks such as:
Through RoundsLogging, the information gathered on the Smart Phone or Tablet becomes part of the historical asset health record, and problem conditions found during the inspections are posted to an Integrated Condition Status dashboard.

Data trapped on paper forms usually gets buried in a file cabinet - data digitally captured with a smart tablet or phone goes into a web-hosted database for use by many.
Measurement points on smart devices can trigger trend or text-based alarms in the field, allowing techs to add more detail about found problems.
Photograph equipment problems with a smart device camera and include those with the database measurement point report.
Email alerts notify the right people about the problems found during inspections in their area of responsibility.
Route summary reports show reported problems at the top, prompting follow-up decisions.
Problems needing maintenance action are integrated with those being reported by all other condition monitoring technologies on a browser-based dashboard so users don’t have to install any special client software to stay informed.
Route adherence reporting keeps managers up to date on inspection schedule compliance.
Each collected measurement point includes the user name and a time-date stamp, along with the reason any attempted measurement was not successfully completed.
Follow-up actions are tracked and show how long each case has been open, whether work orders have been opened, and status comments from those involved in resolving the problem.
With all the effort going into predictive maintenance (PdM) and asset management (EAM/CMMS) solutions, it is easy to overlook the fundamental role of Reliability Information Management (RIM).
For many, RIM is a completely unfamiliar concept, but is the glue that holds successful reliability programs together.
