通用電氣數字,a key component of GE Vernova’s portfolio of energy businesses, has expanded its Asset Performance Management (APM) software by releasing a new Integrity Mobile capability designed to better optimize inspections by further digitizing and streamlining the process of data collection in the field. As part of
APM Mechanical Integrity, the mobile application is designed to allow workers to create inspections, manage inspection tasks, complete inspection reports, capture and annotate images, and create recommendations on a mobile device both in online and off-line modes. As organizations operate at capacity to meet demand while not investing in legacy infrastructure during the energy transition, an adaptable mechanical integrity (MI) program becomes even more critical to help protect people and processes.
Heavy industry relies on assets that function under extreme operating conditions. This creates a growing need to conduct regular physical inspections and capture real-time data, often in hazardous environments. With Integrity Mobile, inspection details, scope, history, and images are available in a more unified, intuitive interface to help ensure that users execute more confident and safe inspections. The mobile application helps to enable employee and contractor inspectors, inspection team leaders, and asset integrity managers to provide real-time updates, which can help reduce communication lags between field and facility and supporting informed judgements in the field.
Available on both iOS and Android platforms, Integrity Mobile is an add-on to the Inspection Management module in APM Mechanical Integrity. In addition to helping to reduce more error-prone paper-based data collection and minimize the time spent in dangerous environments, the ability for inspectors to annotate images of critical assets in the field using freehand drawings and formatted text and generate recommendations on their devices will help to improve process efficiency and lower Operations & Maintenance costs.
