Asset information
A spreadsheet/BOM is ideal, but clear panel photographs and part numbers can be enough to get started.
Machine context
Tell us which assets are production-critical, whether duplicates exist and what spares you already hold.
Your report
You receive a branded PDF with risk ratings, findings and prioritised actions that can be shared with engineering or management.
