Inspeq Demonstrates Global Remote Inspection Capability for Equipment Fleets

Krank demonstrated the remote inspection capabilities of its AI-powered Inspeq platform by completing live inspections of heavy equipment across North America, Europe and Africa in less than one hour.

The event, known as "The Triple," featured Chris Buehn, chief operating officer of Mevas Inspectors, overseeing three equipment inspections remotely from Krank's operations center in Cambridge, England. The demonstration was streamed live on LinkedIn and, according to the company, was viewed by more than 800 industry professionals.

Using Inspeq's Remote Work Orders capability, Buehn directed local personnel through inspections using live video communication while the platform captured findings, images and documentation through structured digital workflows.

Equipment inspected during the demonstration included a hydraulic excavator at CGT in Italy, a CAT 140 11A motor grader at BLC Plant in South Africa and a JLG 450AJ articulating boom lift at Sunstate Equipment in the United States.

The demonstration highlighted a workflow in which experienced inspectors remotely oversee inspections while personnel at equipment locations perform the physical assessment.

"Anyone who works in this industry knows how challenging it can be to get experienced inspectors where they're needed most. Too often, highly skilled professionals spend more time travelling between assets than carrying out inspections, and with a limited number of highly trained inspectors available, making the best use of their time and expertise is more important than ever," said Mark Turner, CEO of Krank and Inspeq.

"The Triple showed there is another way. We connected one experienced inspector with three machines across three continents using the Inspeq platform, showing that high-quality inspections can be delivered without the same reliance on travel. By reducing time spent moving between assets, Inspeq allows inspectors to spend more time applying their skills, while helping companies improve efficiency and increase inspection capacity."

Buehn said the platform did not change the inspection methodology.

"For me, the key point was that the quality of the inspection did not change. I was still relying on my experience, following the same approach and making the same professional assessments I would during a traditional site visit.

"What Inspeq changed was the way that expertise could be delivered. I was able to support teams around the world from one place while still capturing the information needed to complete a full and thorough inspection. The platform brought the findings, images and documentation together as we worked, so by the time the inspection was complete, the final report was already populated, which saved additional time and removed the need for further administrative steps after the inspection."

According to Krank, the demonstration illustrates how remote collaboration can reduce inspector travel while maintaining inspection quality. The company said Inspeq is available in English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian and Zulu.
