  1. The future of Coating Inspection Data Management Craig Woolhouse Sales Manager Elcometer

  2. Content • Introduction • The Problem • Cost effective evidence of inspection results • The Solution • Data Transfer & Data Management Software • Conclusions

  3. Introduction • Clients increasingly specify coating inspection reports with full support documentation. This results in: • Extra cost • Extra time • The need for data and report storage • Hence there is now a requirement to automate reporting on inspection tasks and their results

  4. The Problem • A successful coating process requires: • The Correct Blast Profile • Substrate Cleanliness • Acceptable Environmental Conditions • Specified Dry Film Thickness

  5. The Problem • Blast Profile • Measured using Digital Profile Gauges with memory and wireless data transfer

  6. The Problem • Environmental Conditions • Relative Humidity • Air Temperature • Dewpoint Temperature • Surface Temperature • Surface/Dewpoint Temperature Difference

  7. The Problem • Dry Film Thickness • Readings data • Statistical Analysis • Limits • PSPC adherence

  8. The Solution - Elcomaster 2.0 • Data Management Software - “Paperless QA” • Example Dry Film Thickness • Data Recording – using the new Elcometer 456 DFT Gauge • Data Transfer – via wireless Bluetooth communication • Data Storage and Access – to Elcomaster 2.0 software • Data Analysis – within Elcomaster 2.0 software • Reporting and Presentation – via Elcomaster 2.0 software

  9. The Solution - Elcomaster 2.0 • Data Recording • Introducing the new Elcometer 456 with a reading speed of 70 per minute • Data Transfer • Via Bluetooth Wireless Communication

  10. The Solution - Elcomaster 2.0 • Data Storage and Access using Elcomaster 2.0 software

  11. The Solution – Elcomaster 2.0 • Data Analysis Details Statistics Measurements (readings) Notes Labels Photographs

  12. The Solution – Elcomaster 2.0 • Data Analysis • Languages • Units • Report Format: • add logo • Chart selection • User Interface • Storage: location • Auto Update • Add Photos

  13. The Solution – Elcomaster 2.0 • Data Presentation DFT Worksheet

  14. The Solution – Elcomaster 2.0 • Data Presentation Bespoke Report Capability

  15. The Solution – Elcomaster 2.0 • Data Presentation - Software Operational Features • Menu based easy to navigate package features • Web based update to latest version • Web based update to connected DFT gauges • Import data from earlier version • Help

  16. The Solution – Elcomaster 2.0 • Reporting and Presentation • Menu based easy to navigate package features • Help • Web based update to latest version • Web based update to connected DFT gauges • Import data from earlier version

  17. The future of Coating Inspection Data Management Conclusions .

  18. Conclusions • Protective Coatings have a key role in: • Corrosion Prevention • Impact Resistance and Fire Protection • Wear Resistance • Rigorous Quality Control leads to: • Longer coating service life • Better project cost control (right first time) .

  19. Conclusions • Evidence of Inspection Records • Contractual requirement • Process record • Best practise • Electronic Data Storage & Analysis • Digital gauges for measurement data • Software provides: • Automated form filling • Inspection notes • Photographs • Paperless QA .

  20. Further Conclusions • The Future of Paperless QA • “Cloud” computing via the Internet • Two way gauge to software communication • Multiple project input via e-mail .
