Taking control of your Inspections routines is now even easier with the latest version of MaintainEX. This CMMS gives you flexibility in creating preventative maintenance plan that includes preventative maintenance policies, inspection routines and standard jobs. MaintainEX will allow you to create a maintenance plan to suit your needs.

MaintainEX Inspections provides effective centralized control over the equipment inspection process. It also enables the delivery of a mobile inspection system that guides operators through single or multiple inspections. Users customize inspection applications by defining their specific sets of inspection questions and answers. These questions and answers later guide the operator through the inspection runs and will automatically activate Work Orders based on results. With the addition of palm devices, there is no paperwork and no separate data entry, ensuring simplicity and efficiency.

MaintainEXV11 also includes new flexible functionality and expanded features ensuring that this CMMS delivers benefits to any size company - from stand-alone installations to multi-site regionalized organizations. Whether a maintenance operation services five or 50,000 pieces of equipment, the MaintainEX system gives users the power to take control, utilizing either MaintainEX Access or MaintainEX Enterprise SQL Server.

MaintainEXv11 is about simplifying routine maintenance, and this new version also includes a ToDo list for task control, streamlined electronic safety permit approvals, system regionalization, simplified security, multi-select functions and conditional formatting.

Maintenance Experts has been delivering maintenance efficiency to business operations since 1993. Now with over 3,500 system users across the globe, this company is providing solutions to virtually all industry sectors, including manufacturing plants, building facilities and maintenance contractors.

Infrared Thermography has been used for detection of electrical problems in equipment such as electrical switchgear and high voltage electrical components for many years however you cannot obtain adequate or reliable information with an infrared camera without opening the enclosure and looking at the actual electrical components. Serious problems can sometimes exist without a significant temperature rise on the cover of the enclosure.

Hawk IR Sightglasses enable a safe visual, infrared and non-destructive inspection of internal areas of protected closed cells. Permanently fitted onto switchboards, transformer panels, motor lead boxes and cell doors. Hawk IR Sightglasses allow thermographers to clearly recognize thermal signature of problems during predictive maintenance without the need to open the enclosure.

The C-Range product line has successfully passed third party arc-fault tests with short circuit levels reaching 40,000A for a duration of 30 cycles making it the safest and most flexible IR Sightglass product on the market today.
