From Norway to Australia: IKM’s Partnership with Inspectio Drives Innovation
In high-risk industries like oil and gas, mining, and construction, safety and compliance are non-negotiable. Yet, many companies still rely on outdated, inefficient inspection processes that leave room for error. IKM Measurement Services Australia knew there had to be a better way.
IKM Measurement Services Australia, a NATA Accredited Calibration Laboratory based in Welshpool, Perth, plays a crucial role in ensuring equipment reliability across these industries. At the forefront of this mission is Jarryd Catalano, an Electrical Instrument Technician dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of calibration and safety.
A Seamless Collaboration with Inspectio
Jarryd’s partnership with Inspectio has been instrumental in enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of his work. Reflecting on this collaboration, he shares:
– The experience with Inspectio has been really good. There haven’t been any negative situations, and I’ve always felt supported. The team has been great in setting up assets and assisting whenever needed. I can call them any time, so it’s been great thus far. Clients I’ve introduced to Inspectio have also been pleased with the results.
A Norwegian Solution, A Global Impact
For Jarryd, Inspectio isn’t just another inspection tool—it’s a trusted solution with a proven track record.
– Working for IKM, a Norwegian company, I know they only choose solutions that meet the highest standards. When I started using Inspectio, I immediately saw why they rely on it—it’s built for professionals who need a tool that just works, without the hassle.
When asked to rate how well Inspectio meets his current needs, Jarryd confidently states:
– Honestly, it is doing what I need it to do at the moment. So, as far as what it is doing, it’s good—I have no complaints.
Ensuring Safety Through Vigilance
In industries where equipment is often deployed in hazardous environments, the ability to detect and document faults is crucial. Jarryd emphasizes:
– If I find a fault during an inspection, it’s easy to register it with Inspectio, and it also shows at the end. This allows me to review potential faults and determine what needs to be done.
He acknowledges the severe consequences of undetected issues.
It could be fatal, especially if the equipment is going offshore into a dangerous environment and a fault wasn’t caught. This could lead to an explosion, so making notes is definitely important.
Prioritizing User-Friendly Solutionsnance
For Jarryd, ease of use is a key factor when selecting inspection tools:
– It’s important to be able to utilize the tool as easily as possible without spending too much time figuring it out. You want to be able to sit down and just use it. I definitely found this to be the case with Inspectio’s tool.
With Inspectio’s intuitive design, technicians can get straight to work, reducing downtime and improving efficiency.
Setting the Standard in Australia
Comparing Inspectio to other tools, Jarryd notes a distinct advantage:
– To be honest, a lot of companies in Australia haven’t been using online tools that much. Maybe more offshore companies are utilizing these kinds of tools. When I compare my inspection templates to others, they seem more in-depth and professional. It’s more than just an Excel sheet, so that gives you a bit of an edge.
The Evolution of Digital Inspections in Australia
As industries worldwide embrace digitalization, inspection processes are also evolving, shifting from manual documentation to streamlined digital solutions. Australia is no exception. Companies are increasingly looking for more efficient, accurate, and cost-effective ways to manage inspections and compliance.
Jarryd has observed this trend firsthand:
– The integration of digital tools in inspections has grown significantly in the Australian market. More companies are realizing that digital solutions offer a more efficient and cost-effective way to operate. The shift is streamlining processes, improving accuracy, and reducing compliance risks across various industries.
As more industries recognize the benefits of digital-first inspections, Inspectio is providing the tools to help companies stay ahead, ensuring efficiency and compliance in an ever-changing landscape.
