How Fulcrum optimizes manufacturing field operations
Eliminate costly rework
Validate conformance to plan specifications as work is performed to spot and correct issues early. Inspect materials as they come in, perform checks of jobs in progress, and examine and approve work as it moves from one phase to the next for consistent quality – all in real time.
Optimize safety
Ensure site-wide adherence to safety procedures with intuitive digital inspection processes that go beyond checklists with easy-to-use picklists, photos, and references. Avoid confusion by showing only the steps needed based on current conditions. Quickly identify safety hazards and initiate follow-on remediation tasks, reducing workplace injuries and simplifying compliance.
Implement predictive maintenance
Conduct digital equipment inspections to track performance trends, adhere to maintenance schedules, and reduce machine downtime and costly work stoppages. Use geotagged inspection records to help quickly identify machines that need repairs or replacements.
Demonstrate OSHA compliance
Save time on regulatory reporting with data that is easily accessed, collated, and shared. Prove that your team follows safety procedures, your worksite is OSHA-compliant, and make sure you have all the data you need readily available in case of a rapid response investigation or OSHA inspection.
