Keep mobile and fixed plant running. Operators and maintainers record pre-start defects on haul trucks, loaders, and drills, check crushers, conveyors, and pumps, capture readings and photos, and follow each defect through to a verified repair, with a history kept for every machine.

The Mining Maintenance App covers the equipment side of a mine: mobile plant such as haul trucks, loaders, dozers, and drills, and fixed plant such as crushers, screens, conveyors, pumps, and compressors. Operators record pre-start checks and defects, and maintainers complete planned inspections with readings and photos, whether underground or on the surface.
Defects are assigned with a priority and due date, and safety-critical defects are flagged so a supervisor can decide whether the machine is stood down until the fix is made. Readings such as hydraulic pressure or bearing temperature are checked against limits, and repeat defects on the same machine are easy to spot. Ground control, ventilation, and other mine safety inspections run as separate workflows.
What the App Should Cover
A mining maintenance record should cover the machine or plant item, the pre-start or planned check, readings against limits, photos of defects, the operator's or maintainer's sign-off, any safety-critical flag, and corrective actions with owners and due dates.
How to Use Mining Maintenance App
Preventive maintenance works when service visits actually happen on time. Follow these steps for each service visit:
Scan the machine's QR tag to open its pre-start or maintenance checklist.
Check tyres, brakes, hydraulics, guards, belts, and bearings, and record readings.
Photograph any defect and flag safety-critical items.
Assign each defect to a maintainer with a priority and due date.
Sign off the check and review open defects and machine history.
What Mining Maintenance Covers in the App

How Mining Maintenance App Keeps Mining Maintenance on Track
Step 1
Start of Shift
Operators complete pre-start checks at the machine and report defects with photos.
Step 2
Plant Inspections
Maintainers check crushers, conveyors, pumps, and compressors with readings against limits.
Step 3
Follow Every Defect
Defects go to maintenance with owners and due dates, and safety-critical items are flagged to supervisors.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a mining maintenance app cover?
It covers the equipment side of a mine. With InspectWrk, operators complete pre-start checks on haul trucks, loaders, dozers, and drills and report defects with photos, while maintainers inspect crushers, screens, conveyors, pumps, and compressors with readings against limits. Every defect becomes a corrective action with an owner and due date, and each machine keeps a history of checks and repairs. Ground control and ventilation inspections run as separate mine safety workflows. Supervisors can review open defects by machine, shift, and site from one dashboard.
How are pre-start defects handled?
The operator records the pre-start check on a phone or tablet at the machine, and any defect is sent to maintenance as a corrective action straight away. Safety-critical items are flagged so a supervisor can decide whether the machine is stood down until the defect is fixed and signed off. Supervisors see open pre-start defects by machine and shift, which stops problems from sitting in a paper book in the cab until the machine breaks down. Each flag is recorded with the operator's name and time.
Does the app work underground with no signal?
Yes. Checks can be completed offline underground, in pits, or at remote plant, and the records are stored on the device until it reconnects. Readings, photos, and sign-offs then sync automatically, so supervisors and planners see the results as soon as the device is back in coverage. The machine's QR tag opens the right checklist even without a connection, so work is not held up by poor coverage anywhere on the mine. Operators on different shifts pick up where the last check left off.
Can we see repeat defects across the fleet?
Yes. Every check, defect, and repair is stored against the machine, so the history shows how often the same problem has come back. Dashboards highlight machines and plant items with repeat defects, overdue services, and open safety-critical issues across sites. Maintenance planners can use this to decide where a deeper repair, a component change, or a different service interval is needed, based on the records crews create every day. Reports can be exported for maintenance reviews and planning meetings with the site engineering team.
Does it replace our CMMS or fleet system?
No. InspectWrk covers maintenance inspections and defect follow-up. Your CMMS or fleet management system can keep work orders, parts, labour, and machine hours. Findings from checks can be passed to a CMMS through an integration, so nothing is retyped. Many mines use InspectWrk as the record of what operators and maintainers actually checked in the field, and keep their existing systems for planning, stores, and cost tracking. Operators and maintainers get one simple tool in the field, while planners keep the systems they already use for scheduling and budgets.
