The document discusses how engineering technology can improve data analysis using robotics and wireless data access. It proposes integrating detailed inspection planning, mobile situational awareness software, and robotic technology to increase efficiency and safety. Detailed inspection planning would focus on priority items and reduce scope. Mobile software would provide real-time visibility of tasks and processes for accountability. Robotic technology could increase safety by reducing risk and eliminating the need for human entry into hazardous areas, while also providing significant cost savings through efficiency gains. The integration of these approaches aims to standardize processes while documenting outcomes for continuous improvement.

3.  Which type of Inspector are you?
 Are you hauling rocks?
 Are you erecting a wall?
 Are you building a cathedral?
 Poor planning on your part does not constitute
an emergency on mine!
 If you are not changing, you are agreeing to
become obsolete, eaten by your competition.
 It can take five ($$$$$) times more money to
perform a task during an outage as it does in
in a run and maintain ($) environment.

4. Detailed Inspection Planning Integration
 Understand goals and objectives
 Start early
 Identify all needs
 Freeze work scope
 Prepare a workflow process
– Plan & Estimate each job using
workflow process
• Identify all required tasks for
the job
– Break tasks into sub-tasks
» List all steps required to
complete sub task

5. Detailed Inspection Planning Integration
 Begin with the end in mind – Goals and objectives
– Execute work more effectively and efficiently
 Determine the type of and level of quality required for inspection results
– Identify credible technologies that will get you to your goals, on time, minimum risk
 Identify/create an effective and efficient work process
 Identify/create protocols to the desired level of detail
 Enable the desired closed loop communications framework

10. Robotic Technology Integration
 Unmanned Technology
 Ground Robotics
 Submersible Robotics
 Aerial Robotics
 “Drone” no longer – negative connotation, tied to military & RECON
 UAV – Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
 UAS – Unmanned Aerial System
 Currently being used in a multitude of ways and industries
 Ground: Military Law Enforcement, Nuclear, Industrial, …
 Submersible: Ship Yards, Offshore O&G, Industrial, …
 Aerial: Hollywood, Surveying, Agriculture, Security, Emergency
Response, Military, Law Enforcement, Offshore O&G, Industrial

11. Robotic Technology Integration
 Ground (UGV) – Unmanned Ground Vehicle
 Safety – Risk Reduction
 RTE – Repetitive Task Elimination
 Elimination of Confined Space Entry
 Hazardous Area / Environment Remote Sensing
 Eliminate Permit, Attendant, Rescue Team and Equipment
 Reduce Administrative Control – Increase Engineering Control
 Submersible (ROV) – Remotely Operated
underwater Vehicle
 All integration and advantages listed with
the UGV
 Lost Opportunity Avoidance

12. UAS Technology Integration
 Aerial (UAS)
 Efficiency – reducing days, hours to minutes
 Eliminating Leading Edge
 Elevated Work
