It takes a substantial amount of time to create and complete forms, and their legibility and completeness depend on several factors, such as handwriting, cleanliness, and the level of understanding of the power tool. A mobile-first Power Tool Inspection App makes it much easier for inspectors to inspect power tools. They just need to scan the tagged QR code and immediately gain access to the form. Using the integrated AI assistant Storm, inspectors can record their voice or take pictures of defects, and Storm will automatically fill in the fields, so they do not have to enter data manually.
