In a situation of perpetual delay, asset engineers have difficulty getting away from routine tasks in order to offer added value to their work. A lot of time is allocated to:

• Find decentralized data in multiple sources (email, databases, paper, Excel, etc.).
• Transcribe data into the appropriate Excel files.
• Read and analyze long, dry reports.
• Cross-reference sometimes incompatible data to establish the status of assets with certainty.

Although essential, asset inspections represent major costs. Spending is increasing for several reasons:

• Inspections do not follow a specific inspection plan.
• Poor data collection (for example, defect positioning) forces numerous inspections to be repeated.
• Extensive reports take a lot of time to write and review.
• The lack of structure among inspection subcontractors makes reading reports very complex. The construction of a uniform inspection methodology for different types of assets is necessary in order to standardize data collection among subcontractors. Stelar will make it possible to give substance to your methods.
• Inspection subcontractors use very different methods, which complicates the task for the engineers responsible.
• In this context, it is impossible to guarantee that everything is under control and that there will be no accidents or total asset failures.
