The problem this software solves

Hydraulic leak

Reported by voice or chat, hydraulic leak is caught late and logged with no evidence tied to the asset.

Track or undercarriage wear

Track or undercarriage wear goes unrecorded between rounds, so there is no proof it was found, owned, or fixed.

Cracked bucket or boom

On a manual round cracked bucket or boom is easy to miss, and hard to defend to an auditor after the fact.

Control fault

Control fault lands in a photo thread with no owner, deadline, or audit trail behind it.

How the software solves it

InspectWrk runs the whole excavator inspection cycle on one mobile system, from the scan to the signed-off report. Here is the loop your team follows.

  1. 1

    Inspect

    Open the right excavator checklist by scanning the asset or location QR tag.

  2. 2

    Capture

    Record photos, readings, and signatures, offline where signal is poor.

  3. 3

    Find

    AI flags likely defects from the photo and the inspector confirms or overrides.

  4. 4

    Correct

    A failed item becomes an owned action with a severity and a deadline.

  5. 5

    Verify

    The finding stays open until a named approver signs off proof of the fix.

  6. 6

    Report

    A branded report generates on close-out and dashboards update across sites.

Workflow

How Does an Excavator Inspection Cycle Run from Field Capture to Audit-Ready Reporting?

The inspection workflow, end to end: Plan → Inspect → Capture evidence → Record findings → Correct → Re-inspect → Report. Every step happens on one system, so nothing falls between the field and the office.

  1. 1

    Configure the Excavator Inspection Template

    Your excavator controls become a mobile template with required photos and readings on hydraulics and fluid leaks, tracks or tyres and undercarriage, bucket, boom, and attachments, cab, controls, and visibility, and safety devices and guards, aligned to ISO 45001 and machinery safety rules, so every site inspects to the same standard from day one.

  2. 2

    Capture the Excavator Check in the Field

    Inspectors complete the excavator inspection on iOS or Android, offline where signal is poor, recording leak photo, undercarriage wear photo, and hour-meter reading against each point before a named sign-off can close the round.

  3. 3

    Route Excavator Findings to Verified Closure

    A failed item such as hydraulic leak becomes an owned task with a severity and a deadline, and stays open until photo proof of the fix is reviewed, so excavator defects do not resurface unnoticed.

  4. 4

    Report Excavator Performance

    For excavator inspection field teams, every excavator inspection feeds live dashboards and branded exports, so mine supervisors see completion, overdue actions, and risk per site without assembling a report by hand.

Capabilities

What the software handles for excavator inspection

The capabilities that matter for this workflow, and what your team can do with each one.

Programme Scheduling and Statutory Clocks

On every excavator inspection cycle, excavator Inspection cadence is enforced per asset: the next check is booked the moment the last one closes, so nothing silently slips off the plan.

Structured Field Capture

For Mining teams running excavator inspection, mobile excavator inspection templates with required evidence fields eliminate clipboard gaps and WhatsApp photo trails.

AI-assisted Evidence Capture

In Mining excavator inspection operations, image recognition pre-tags excavator inspection findings, so a Mining inspector spends time judging risk rather than writing it up.

Portfolio Dashboards

Across the excavator inspection portfolio, mine Supervisors track excavator inspection risk hotspots and SLA breaches as they happen, instead of waiting for a manual Friday summary.

Audit-ready Exports

On excavator inspection programmes, excavator Inspection evidence exports as a regulator-ready pack with photos and sign-offs intact, filtered to the site under review.

Offline-first Mobile Apps

For excavator inspection field teams, no signal, no problem: excavator inspection evidence is captured on-device and uploaded the moment the inspector is back in range.

Coverage

What Does an Excavator Inspection Cover?

An excavator inspection covers hydraulics and fluid leaks, tracks or tyres and undercarriage, bucket, boom, and attachments, cab, controls, and visibility, and safety devices and guards. Mine supervisors capture a photo and a reading on each excavator point. They work offline where signal is poor, then sign the excavator round off. So every excavator record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.

Before You Switch

Common Questions Before You Start

We already run excavator checks on paper. Do we have to change our process?

No. Your existing checklist becomes a mobile template, so the same checks run with photos, timestamps, and named sign-off attached. Only the capture changes.

Will field teams actually use it?

The check runs on the device they already carry, works offline where signal drops, and opens the right checklist from a QR scan, so there is no typing from memory.

What happens when a defect is found?

It becomes an owned action with a severity and a deadline, and stays open until a named approver verifies the fix with photo proof.

Frequently Asked Questions About Excavator Inspection Software

What does Excavator Inspection Software check on an excavator inspection?

Excavator Inspection Software runs a structured excavator inspection covering hydraulics and fluid leaks, tracks or tyres and undercarriage, bucket, boom, and attachments, cab, controls, and visibility, and safety devices and guards. Each point is captured on mobile with a photo and a reading, and a named inspector signs the round off before it can close. The same template runs on every site, so mine supervisors work to one standard rather than a version that drifts between locations. Every record proves what was checked, when, and by whom, so the evidence is ready long before an assessor asks for it.

How often should an excavator inspection be done?

How often excavator checks run depends on duty, risk, and the standard you follow. Some are daily or pre-use; others run weekly, monthly, or at a statutory interval. Excavator Inspection Software sets the cadence per site, reminds mine supervisors before a round is due, and flags anything overdue automatically. Each completed round is timestamped and signed, so the schedule is provably kept rather than assumed, and you can show exactly when the last check happened for any asset. Excavator Inspection Software lets mining teams run excavator inspections the same way on every visit, with photos and a sign-off on each excavator.

Which excavator defects matter most, and what happens if they are missed?

The inspection targets the excavator failures that matter most: hydraulic leak, track or undercarriage wear, cracked bucket or boom, and control fault. Left unchecked, a fault such as hydraulic leak can mean downtime, a safety incident, or a failed audit, so every finding becomes an owned task with a deadline. It stays open until photo proof of the repair is reviewed, and repeat problems are flagged so mine supervisors fix the cause rather than the symptom. Prioritising by severity means the most serious issues are handled first, not whichever was reported loudest.

Which standards does Excavator Inspection Software support for excavator work?

Excavator Inspection Software keeps excavator checks aligned to ISO 45001 and machinery safety rules. The photos and readings each standard expects are required fields, so an incomplete check cannot be closed and a gap is caught before an assessor finds it. When a review is due, mine supervisors export a branded evidence pack built from leak photo, undercarriage wear photo, and hour-meter reading, ready to hand over on the spot. Retention and history stay searchable, so proof remains defensible at any point, not only on the day of an audit.

Can teams run excavator checks offline and across multiple sites?

Yes. Excavator Inspection Software is offline-first: teams complete excavator checks on iOS or Android with no signal, capturing leak photo, undercarriage wear photo, and hour-meter reading in the field. Each record syncs automatically when the connection returns, with its timestamp intact, and the same template runs on every site. So mine supervisors get a live view of what is complete, overdue, or failing per location, and a weak connection in a plant room or basement never costs a round or loses a photo.

What evidence proves an excavator inspection was completed?

Every completed excavator inspection carries leak photo, undercarriage wear photo, and hour-meter reading, a GPS location, a timestamp, and a named sign-off. Because the evidence is captured during the round rather than typed up afterwards, mine supervisors can show exactly what was checked, when, and by whom. When an assessor or client asks, the record exports in seconds as a branded PDF or a searchable history, so proof never depends on someone remembering where a photo was saved or which folder holds last quarter's records.
