eAuditor for magnetic particle inspection (MPI)

A magnetic particle inspection checklist is a tool used to ensure that all necessary steps and requirements are followed during the magnetic particle inspection process. By using eAuditor, the checklist can be digitized, making it more accessible, efficient, and convenient. Here’s an explanation of how mobile eAuditor can assist in implementing a magnetic particle inspection checklist:

Checklist Creation:

The mobile eAuditor can provide a platform to create customized checklists specific to different inspection scenarios or standards. The eAuditor offers pre-built templates or allow users to create their own checklists by adding relevant inspection steps, requirements, and criteria.

Digital Checklist Access:

Once the checklist is created, the mobile eAuditor can store it digitally and make it easily accessible to the inspector. The checklist can be retrieved on the mobile device, eliminating the need for carrying physical copies or relying on manual paperwork.

Step-by-Step Guidance:

The mobile eAuditor can guide the inspector through each step of the inspection process. It can present the checklist items sequentially, ensuring that no step is missed. The eAuditor can also provide detailed instructions, assisting the inspector in understanding and executing the required actions accurately.

Interactive Checkmarking:

The mobile eAuditor can include interactive features to mark each checklist item as completed. The inspector can simply tap on a checkbox or swipe to indicate the completion of a step. This interactive checkmarking helps the inspector track progress and ensures that all required steps are addressed.

Visual Documentation:

The eAuditor can enable the inspector to capture and attach images or videos directly within the checklist. This allows for visual documentation of critical steps, such as pre-inspection surface condition, magnetic field setup, or defect indications. The visual evidence can serve as a reference for future analysis or for sharing with other team members.

Annotation and Comments:

The mobile eAuditor can include annotation tools to mark up or annotate the captured images or videos. The inspector can draw circles, arrows, or add text to highlight specific areas of interest or indicate defect locations. Additionally, the eAuditor can provide a comment section for the inspector to add additional information or notes related to specific checklist items.

Real-Time Collaboration:

The mobile eAuditor can facilitate real-time collaboration among multiple inspectors or team members. They can work on the same checklist simultaneously, share updates, or exchange comments and feedback. This feature can be particularly useful for remote collaboration or when involving experts who can provide guidance or verify inspection results.

Checklist Validation and Reporting:

Once the inspection is complete, the mobile eAuditor can validate the checklist to ensure that all mandatory steps have been addressed. It can generate a summary report that lists the completed checklist items, including any deviations, comments, or observations made during the inspection. The report can be saved digitally or exported in various formats (PDF, CSV) for further documentation or sharing purposes.

By utilizing mobile eAuditor for a magnetic particle inspection checklist, inspectors can benefit from a streamlined and organized approach. The eAuditor enhances efficiency, accuracy, and documentation by providing step-by-step guidance, visual documentation capabilities, collaboration features, and automated reporting. Ultimately, it improves the overall quality and reliability of the magnetic particle inspection process.
