The challenge of effective field observation: safety, efficiency and informed decisions
Infrastructure inspections are essential for ensuring safety and performance, yet traditional methods are often manual, time-consuming, and fragmented. Sharing and consolidating information in an efficient way is not easy, with a risk of losing information.
Teams are under increasing pressure to collect accurate data, meet compliance standards, and respond quickly to change while managing limited resources.
Technology in service of smarter infrastructure
Beyond Patrol™ introduces a smarter, digital approach to this challenge.
By combining mobile field technology with real-time data capture, it streamlines the way inspections are planned, executed, and reported.
This results in faster, more accurate insights that reduce costs, minimise risk, and strengthen confidence in decision-making.
Each inspection supports proactive maintenance, helping extend asset life and promote sustainable infrastructure management.
Representing a new standard in digital inspection management, Beyond Patrol™ addresses key challenges in efficiency, accuracy, and sustainability.
It transforms the inspection process into a connected, data-driven workflow that gives asset owners and operators greater control at lower cost, ensuring reliability and smarter maintenance throughout the asset lifecycle.
1. Plan and Organise
Use the office application to define your inspection roadmap. Surveys can be scheduled, grouped by asset type or location, and allocated to the relevant teams.
This central planning step ensures every inspection is anticipated, coordinated, and aligned with operational requirements.
2. Inspect and Record
The mobile application guides field teams through a structured route covering all points to be inspected in the target area. Inspectors can complete digital forms, capture photos, and add new observations directly on site.
This streamlined workflow consolidates reporting and ensures each inspection is performed consistently.
3. Review, Monitor and Share
After inspections, managers can consult all collected data via the office application. The interface allows comparison with historical information, monitoring of structural condition over time, and verification that the inspection program is being executed as intended.
This step closes the loop by transforming field input into actionable oversight.
4. Multiple Benefits
Beyond Patrol™ strengthens cooperation between all stakeholders by providing a unified platform for planning, executing, and reviewing inspections.
It enables continuous monitoring of observation progress and ensures that all field data is securely stored and traceable.
By standardising inspection methods across teams and sites, the platform improves consistency and reduces the risk of oversight.
Combined with streamlined workflows and digital data capture, it delivers a clear uplift in productivity and operational efficiency.
Beyond Patrol™ contributes to the assessment of structure by identifying and tracking observations.
