SYSTEM FOR CATALOGING, MONITORING AND MAINTAINING MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT

摘要

A computer based system is provided to log and track plant equipment. The system includes graphical surveying and cataloging for all plant positions that maintains images of the equipment and equipment data plates to allow easy reference and enhance communication between all parties involved when diagnostics and repairs must be made. The system provides a method for capturing data without the need for manual data entry or data entry personnel. Photos of equipment conditions are taken and loaded into categories and subcategories via a handheld photo application. Further, the system sets best practices automatically and as pictures are taken of the procedures the photos are made as entries into the database. The system further allows for automated billing and provides for valuable visual reporting of failures and work performed on equipment by third parties.
