Inspeq sets ‘The Triple’ live inspection challenge

Inspeq will put its Remote Work Orders capability through a live global test on 8 July 8 at 14:00 BST, showing how expert inspections can be completed without the inspector setting foot on site. The inspector will check three machines – including a JLG boom on three continents.

Inspeq is an advanced AI-powered equipment inspection platform developed by industrial technology company Krank. The inspection challenge  will unite equipment dealers across three continents in a one-hour demonstration designed to test a new model for equipment inspections.

Broadcast live on LinkedIn under the title ‘The Triple’, the event will see a single inspector, Chris Buehn, chief operating officer of Mevas Inspectors, conduct three heavy equipment inspections across North America, Europe and Africa from a workstation in Cambridge, UK. The industry-first challenge will put Inspeq’s Remote Work Orders capability to the test, a feature that enables qualified inspectors to direct and complete inspections remotely through structured workflows, live video collaboration and centralised reporting.

Participating equipment dealers include North America’s Sunstate Equipment, Europe’s CGT and Africa’s BLC Plant, each providing equipment and on-site personnel to support the live demonstration.

Testing a future-ready inspection model

This challenge is being made possible by Inspeq’s Remote Work Orders functionality, a capability developed to help organisations scale inspection capacity without scaling travel.

Designed in response to industry feedback, the feature enables senior inspectors and technical specialists to direct inspections remotely in real time, guiding on-site personnel through live video while findings, images and reporting outputs are captured directly through the Inspeq platform. The result is a model designed to extend expert oversight across more assets, locations and time zones, while reducing travel requirements, accelerating turnaround times and improving consistency across inspection programmes.

Chris Buehn, one of Europe’s leading heavy equipment inspection specialists, will work from Inspeq’s Cambridge-based operations centre to guide all three inspections within a tightly coordinated one-hour window. He will direct personnel on the ground through live mobile connections, while documenting findings through the Inspeq platform, with inspection reports completed during the broadcast itself.

“Industrial assets increasingly operate across borders, time zones and distributed teams, but inspections are still largely dependent on putting people on planes, costing experienced professionals time and businesses money to facilitate travel,” said Mark Turner, CEO of Krank and Inspeq.

“We are taking a real risk with this attempt, but we believe in Inspeq’s capabilities. If we can successfully inspect three machines across three continents in one hour, the conversation stops being about whether remote inspections are possible and starts becoming about how quickly the industry adopts them,” continues Turner.

One hour, three yards – no passport required

The livestream will connect three dealer locations across three continents in a continuous one-hour inspection challenge, showcasing how equipment inspections can be conducted seamlessly from anywhere in the world.

• Stop 1: Italy – The challenge begins at CGT with an inspection of a CAT Compact Track Loader
• Stop 2: South Africa – The second inspection will be conducted at BLC Plant of a CAT Motor Grader
• Stop 3: United States – To conclude, a live inspection at Sunstate Equipment featuring a JLG Telescopic Boom Lift
