Case Study: Sandvik achieves faster, standardized equipment inspections with Field Eagle

Sandvik - Customer Case Study

Sandvik, a global engineering group working in mining and bulk material handling, faced difficulty standardizing and organizing inspection and audit data for its Bulk Material Handling Machines. Relying on manual paper-and-pen inspections for equipment with hundreds of data points left operations without timely control or consistent data — a critical gap given that machine downtime can cost millions. Field Eagle was brought in to address this challenge using its tablet-based Enterprise Audit/Inspection solution.

Field Eagle implemented an Enterprise Audit System with standardized, template-based inspection forms, local data storage on Sandvik’s secured servers, and 24-hour operations support. The result: paper processes were eliminated, inspections are faster and consistent across sites, and Sandvik receives immediate, actionable reports for preventative maintenance — the program has been extended to cover all equipment, improving asset management, transparency and operational control.
