Breedon Hope Cement Works transformeert zijn inspectieproces met Resco Inspections+

“HG Technology heeft met succes inspectiesoftware geïmplementeerd voor Breedon Cement Works. Na het intern testen van de Resco Inspections+ software intern, werkte HG Technology nauw samen met Breedon om een systeem te implementeren dat veilig, tijdbesparend, cloudgebaseerd en gebruiksvriendelijk is. Om het systeem verder te ontwikkelen, integreerde HG Technology het met een reeks andere platforms, zoals SharePoint, Power BI en SAP.

Inspecties worden nu uitgevoerd via de mobiele apparaten van gebruikers, met en zonder internettoegang, en digitale kopieën van alle inspecties worden opgehaald en opgeslagen met behulp van Power Automate. Over het algemeen bespaart het systeem ons niet alleen kostbare tijd, maar worden er ook digitale inspecties gegenereerd en worden er dagelijks minder apps gebruikt.”

Breedon are the leading construction material manufacturer in the UK and Ireland. Breedon’s largest Cement Factory, Hope Works, have a capacity to produce up to 1.5mT of cement each year, with over 3,000 pieces of plant equipment to inspect across 6 inspection teams.

Prior to digitizing their inspections, Breedon Hope Works were conducting routine inspections of the cement plants using pen and paper. This presented numerous issues, such as losing inspections, lack of auditing, and time-consuming writeups.

Hope Works initially engaged with Resco Inspections+ in 2020, creating some basic questionnaires which they trialled internally. The pilot project showed the potential for Hope Works to have a system that allowed users to conduct inspections on their mobile device, which would then be collated and stored on the cloud for later review.

Breedon decided that Resco Inspections+ was a good fit for their business, however due to time constraints and limited IT capabilities were unsure on the possibility of full implementation. Breedon therefore reached out for a partner to help with the implementation of the system and were put in touch with HG Technology. Cooperating with an implementation partner made the transition much smoother and quicker.

The ongoing implementation currently allows Breedon to conduct routine inspections, both online and offline. The system has been integrated with the Microsoft suite and SAP. This has allowed HG Technology to pull through relevant equipment data, export completed inspections, and present data using Power BI dashboards.

Thanks to Resco Inspections+, Hope Works’ inspectors no longer have to carry multiple pieces of paper, worry about losing paper copies, have no need to manually notify their area managers of issues and faults, and so much more. Resco Inspections+ allows routine inspections to be conducted easily and efficiently on a device they always have at hand.
