An offshore production facility needed an accurate, up-to-date Ex equipment register – and a smarter way to manage inspections. Dron & Dickson, experts in hazardous area compliance, brought in our digital inspection software to replace paper-based processes.
The partial register was imported, and inspections were assigned via handheld tablets.
Tasks were completed on site, with RFID tags applied during inspection, and data uploaded in real time for immediate analysis.
The result? No more duplicate data entry, faster turnaround, and total traceability.
Compared to a similar site still using paper, the facility saved 22 minutes per item – across 12,000 pieces of equipment, that’s 600 man-days. The estimated cost saving? £180,000.
The intelligent system didn’t just reduce admin – it empowered fact-based decisions, improved compliance, and streamlined verification reporting.
It’s proof that with the right tools, compliance can be faster, clearer and more cost-effective.
