Krank Limited has expanded its Inspeq platform with AI-Assisted Inspections, a feature designed to allow equipment inspectors to document findings and complete reports while inspecting machines.
The capability combines voice commands, photographs, video, Optical Character Recognition (OCR), and AI-assisted field completion in a single inspection workflow.
Inspectors can dictate observations as they work while Inspeq processes the information and updates the inspection report in real time. Supporting media is linked to relevant inspection items, and the system can highlight missing information before the inspection is complete.
AI-Assisted Inspections provides real-time responses throughout an inspection, confirming completed fields, recording actions, and identifying information that remains necessary.
OCR can extract serial numbers, engine numbers, makes, and models from equipment identification plates. Inspectors can also add or remove report fields as an inspection progresses.
Multi-language voice support allows inspectors to use the hands-free process in their preferred language.
"We see reporting as something that should happen naturally as an inspection takes place, rather than as a separate task afterwards," said Khurram Mumtaz, chief product & technology officer at Krank. "AI-Assisted Inspections change the role of AI from processing information after the event to supporting inspectors while they're on site, making reporting faster, more consistent, and easier to complete."
According to Krank’s internal studies, AI-Assisted Inspections reduce inspection completion time by up to 45%, improve field-level accuracy by 32%, and remove at least 40% of manual data entry through AI-assisted field completion and automation.
The capability connects completed inspections, supporting evidence, and identified issues with assets, sites, work orders, corrective tasks, and maintenance records within Inspeq.
The company said the feature is intended to support organizations managing equipment across asset-intensive industries, including construction, mining, equipment rental, and manufacturing. It also supports teams working across remote or geographically dispersed locations by making inspection findings available as soon as inspections are completed.
“Inspection teams are being asked to cover more equipment, often across multiple sites and locations, so we have focused on where technology can remove unnecessary work from that process,” said Mark Turner, CEO of Krank. “AI-Assisted inspections allow the inspector to concentrate on the equipment in front of them, while the reporting is handled alongside the inspection. It means their expertise can be used where it adds the most value.”
AI-Assisted Inspections are available now as part of the Inspeq platform.
