A method for recording the details of the servicing of a pipe run or items of equipment associated therewith comprising a first computing means, holding the unique reference number and the servicing information for a particular pipe run and/or items of equipment associated therewith at a particular time, and a second, hand-held computerised means, which can download the unique reference number and the servicing information for that particular pipe run or items of equipment at that particular time from the first computing means. The Service Engineer takes the second computer out onto site to the pipe run or items of equipment, confirms the identities via signals to and from a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag fast with a part of the pipe run or items of equipment associated therewith and undertakes the maintenance specified in the download and accessible on the second computer. Details of the servicing are input to the second computer immediately after the servicing is complete and subsequently uploaded on to the first computer for processing and storage. The stored data may be archived off site for additional security. |
