Example conversation

The problem

Patrols cover long distances with little or no signal. Defect codes and priorities are in a manual crews rarely carry. Wrong codes send repairs to the wrong queue, and serious defects wait too long.

Who uses it

Line patrol crews and inspectors walking or driving overhead lines.

What you train it on

  • Defect code catalogue
  • Priority rules
  • Asset register extracts
  • Patrol checklists

How it works on the device

  1. 1

    Trained on your defect catalogue

    Codes, priorities and repair timelines from your own asset rules.

  2. 2

    Describe it by voice

    The crew says what they see and gets the code and priority.

  3. 3

    Logs sync later

    Entries are kept on the phone and sent when there is coverage.

Why it runs on the device

  • Works at remote sites

    Answers come from the device, so substations, lines and pipelines without coverage make no difference.

  • Right code, right queue

    Repairs are prioritised correctly from the first report.

  • Nothing lost offline

    Logs wait on the phone until they can be sent.
