Mining

Mine inspection — no paper, no signal.

Checklists and inspections that work offline at the pit face. Photo marked on the defect, occurrence with owner and deadline, and evidence ready for audit.

The problem at the mine

Remote sites, high risk, fragile evidence.

No signal, the inspection stops.

At the pit face there is no Wi‑Fi — and paper checklists (or apps that need a network) stall the operation. It must run offline and sync later.

  • Equipment and contractors won’t wait.

    Trucks, conveyors, crushing, and contractor fleets need constant release and verification — with proof of what was seen.

  • HSE “from memory” won’t survive an audit.

    PPE, energy lockout, and permits without a record vanish at inspection time — or when an incident is investigated.

  • A photo without markup doesn’t count.

    Generic evidence doesn’t locate the defect. Without image markup and severity, no one knows what’s urgent.

In practice

In the field, from the first item to the signature

A mine checklist start to finish on the phone — exactly what the operator sees on screen.

  1. Mine scraper checklist split into sections with progress and a pending item
    1

    Work section by section

    The checklist split into sections, with progress and pending items in each. The operator always knows where they are and what is left.

  2. Question “Service brake working?” answered as Non-conforming
    2

    Answer item by item

    Required items always in view. A non-conforming critical item instantly opens evidence, immediate action, and an occurrence.

  3. Photo of a haul truck with the reverse alarm sensor marked
    3

    Mark the defect on the photo

    Numbered pin, pen, and caption right on the evidence: “Reverse alarm sensor broken.” No one has to guess where the problem is.

  4. Checklist summary with progress, pending items, and final signature
    4

    Review what’s left

    Before closing, the app lists what is pending: required questions, result, and final signature. Incomplete checklists don’t close.

  5. Signature screen with signer name, captured location, and drawn signature
    5

    Sign on the phone

    Signature drawn on screen, with name, email, and captured location. All of it is recorded in the report.

Management and reports

On the web, managers see what the field saw

Every checklist run on the phone reaches the web with indicators, pending items, and an audit report with the photos behind each answer.
