Inspections in public transport –
How digital inspections improve safety

Digital inspections play a crucial role in sustainably improving safety, efficiency and transparency in maintenance. In local public transport in particular, numerous checks must be carried out reliably and documented comprehensively on a daily basis to ensure that passengers reach their destinations safely.

One of our customers in the local public transport sector faced this very challenge. Different vehicle types, complex regulations and paper-based processes made day-to-day work considerably more difficult.

Together with the customer, we implemented an integrated solution based on IBM Maximo and Insight Mobile. This enabled inspection processes to be digitised and documentation to be significantly simplified.

✔ Digital checklists and guided workflows
✔ Mobile processing directly at the asset – online and offline
✔ Comprehensive documentation of all inspection and approval steps
✔ Transparent traceability for audits and safety certifications
✔ A central database for planning, execution and reporting

However, digital inspections do more than just boost efficiency. They create transparency, support compliance with regulatory requirements and ensure that all relevant information is available at all times. At the same time, companies benefit from higher data quality, standardised processes and better traceability of all work steps.

This case study demonstrates how digital solutions provide long-term support for maintenance whilst making an important contribution to the safety of passengers and technicians.
