ABSTRACT:
A system (10) and method for recording inspection data for geographically remote equipment assets. A portable inspection data recording device (14) is transported by a mobile inspector to a plurality of locations of equipment (12) to be inspected. The data recording device includes a location detection device (32), and a unique equipment identifier is associated with each remote equipment location, so that travel instructions may be displayed for directing the inspector to the location of selected equipment. Recordation of inspection data for selected equipment is enabled only when the portable inspection data recording device is located proximate the selected equipment. Data recordation may be enabled by displaying an equipment-specific data recordation form on input/output display (40) having selected data field automatically populated in response to the selected unique equipment identifier.
