Overview

The DataMesh Checklist is an out-of-the-box client product developed by DataMesh Company that can be used in conjunction with FactVerse Services. This application primarily targets frontline inspectors and business supervisors. It utilizes digital twin technology for devices and facilities, along with augmented reality (AR) devices, smartphones, and tablets, to inspect and maintain the status of equipment and facilities visually and systematically. It finds broad applications in scenarios like process guidance and operations supervision.

Through visual process presentation, real-time and historical data support, as well as convenient operations and cross-platform multi-device collaboration, DataMesh Checklist empowers frontline inspectors to perform tasks in a more intuitive, accurate, and convenient manner. Simultaneously, business supervisors can configure tasks according to standards, systematically view and manage the entire workflow, dynamically adjust personnel and tasks based on actual inspection situations, thereby achieving the goals of cost reduction and efficiency enhancement.

Typical use cases

The following are some examples of typical use cases for DataMesh Checklist:

Operations Supervision: Based on the digital twin of facilities and equipment, combined with AR devices, DataMesh Checklist conducts status checks and maintenance control on operational facilities and equipment. This ensures standardized and traceable workflow for operations, establishes a feedback loop between frontline workers and managers, and assists enterprise managers in making decisions, cost control, and risk management.

Process Guidance: In processes like inspections and assemblies, traditional paper-based guidance documents often lack the ability to dynamically acquire information and operate hands-free, thereby affecting the rapid response capability of frontline personnel. DataMesh Checklist helps users swiftly access device-oriented process guidance, while also providing historical work order records and current equipment status, thereby enhancing the speed and quality of task completion for frontline workers.

Concepts

The use of the Checklist involves the following related concepts. For better understanding and application, please refer to the following content.

Scene

A scene is a specific environment containing multiple elements, objects, or activities, used to fulfill particular functions, tasks, or processes. For example, a factory can be considered a scene. Within this factory scene, there may be various elements like equipment, machinery, workers, raw materials, etc. These elements collaborate to complete production tasks according to specific processes or business workflows. Factory scenes can include production lines, equipment operation zones, warehouses, offices, and other distinct areas, all collectively forming this specific production environment.

Patrol Inspections

Patrol inspections involve regular or planned inspections, assessments, and maintenance of equipment, systems, facilities, or areas. The purpose of patrol inspection is to ensure the proper operation of equipment, prevent potential issues, and promptly identify and address anomalies that could impact safety, performance, or functionality. Patrol inspection can cover a range of equipment types, such as mechanical, electrical, computer systems, buildings, and environmental facilities.

There are two common patrol inspection methods:

Inspecting diverse types of equipment in a specific sequence, time, and manner: This method involves multiple types of equipment or systems. Inspection personnel follow a predetermined plan, inspecting each device periodically in a specific order and manner. This ensures that all critical equipment receives proper attention for preventing potential issues.

Inspecting multiple identical equipment units at specific times and using a similar method: This method is primarily used for identical types of equipment or systems, such as multiple machines of the same model in a factory. In this case, inspection personnel inspect all devices using a similar approach based on a predefined schedule. This helps maintain consistency across devices and identify issues common among multiple units.

Both inspection methods contribute to maintaining normal equipment operation, reducing downtime, improving production efficiency, and ensuring equipment safety and reliability. The choice of inspection method depends on specific circumstances, including equipment type, quantity, environmental requirements, and maintenance goals.

Spot Check

Spot checks are targeted, detailed check processes conducted at specified times and using specific methods. The purpose of spot check is to identify potential issues, anomalies, or faults in equipment, enabling timely maintenance, repair, or replacement to ensure proper equipment operation and reliability.

Regular spot checks can identify potential issues early, prevent equipment breakdowns, reduce downtime, and lower production costs. Moreover, inspections contribute to maintaining equipment performance and lifespan, enhancing production efficiency, and ensuring safety.

Differences between equipment Patrol Inspection and Spot Check

Name	Spot Check	Patrol Inspection
Features	More detailed inspections are conducted, including sampling checks, to supplement the patrol inspection findings.	Periodic inspections, with a larger volume and broader scope of coverage.
Cycle	Can set one-time inspection with no recurring period.	Cannot set one-time inspection.
Inspection Method Number	One	Two
Inspection Device Number	Single task single device (when creating inspection tasks, selecting multiple devices will also be divided into multiple single device tasks).	Can create a single task with multiple devices inspections.
