Case Study: Sandvik achieves faster, standardized equipment inspections with Konverge Digital Solutions' Field Eagle

How Konverge helped Sandvik improve their audit and inspection process with a mobile tablet solution

Sandvik, a global engineering group in tooling, materials technology, mining and construction, needed a better way to standardize and organize inspection and audit data for its bulk material handling and mining equipment. Its manual paper-and-pen process was not efficient enough for machines with hundreds of inspection points, creating risk for costly downtime and inconsistent maintenance practices. Konverge Digital Solutions provided the Field Eagle tablet-based enterprise inspection and audit system to address this challenge.

Konverge Digital Solutions implemented Field Eagle to create a standardized global inspection process, with data collected locally on Sandvik’s secured servers and supported by 24/7 operations assistance. The solution helped Sandvik organize inspection information, generate reports immediately, and move toward preventative maintenance, improving control over equipment condition and maintenance actions. Sandvik reported promising results and planned to integrate the system with its spare parts catalogue and smart monitoring tools.
