Around the world in one hour: Inspeq sets “The Triple” live inspection challenge

Three continents. Three machines. One inspector. Inspeq will put its Remote Work Orders capability through a live global test on 8 July at 13h00 GMT, showing how expert inspections can be completed without the inspector setting foot on site.

Inspeq, the advanced AI-powered equipment inspection platform developed by industrial technology company Krank, will stage a live global inspection challenge, uniting equipment dealers across three continents in a one-hour demonstration designed to test a new model for equipment inspections.

Broadcast live on LinkedIn under the title “The Triple”, the event will see a single inspector, Chris Buehn, chief operating officer of Mevas Inspectors, conduct three heavy equipment inspections across North America, Europe and Africa from a workstation in Cambridge.

The industry-first challenge will put Inspeq’s Remote Work Orders capability to the test, a feature that enables qualified inspectors to direct and complete inspections remotely through structured workflows, live video collaboration and centralised reporting.

Participating equipment dealers include North America’s Sunstate Equipment, Europe’s CGT and Africa’s BLC Plant, each providing equipment and on-site personnel to support the live demonstration.

Testing a future-ready inspection model

This challenge is being made possible by Inspeq’s Remote Work Orders functionality, a capability developed to help organisations scale inspection capacity without scaling travel.

Designed in response to industry feedback, the feature enables senior inspectors and technical specialists to direct inspections remotely in real time, guiding on-site personnel through live video while findings, images and reporting outputs are captured directly through the Inspeq platform. The result is a model designed to extend expert oversight across more assets, locations and time zones, while reducing travel requirements, accelerating turnaround times and improving consistency across inspection programmes.

Buehn, one of Europe’s leading heavy equipment inspection specialists, will work from Inspeq’s Cambridge-based operations centre to guide all three inspections within a tightly co-ordinated one-hour window. He will direct personnel on the ground through live mobile connections, while documenting findings through the Inspeq platform, with inspection reports completed during the broadcast itself.

“Industrial assets increasingly operate across borders, time zones and distributed teams, but inspections are still largely dependent on putting people on planes – costing experienced professionals time and businesses money to facilitate travel,” says Mark Turner, CEO of Krank and Inspeq.

“We are taking a real risk with this attempt, but we believe in Inspeq’s capabilities. If we can successfully inspect three machines across three continents in one hour, the conversation stops being about whether remote inspections are possible, and starts becoming about how quickly the industry adopts them.”

A solution for an industry under pressure to modernise

Heavy equipment inspections have long remained heavily reliant on physical attendance, requiring inspectors to travel to equipment locations to verify machine condition and asset value. Though it has served the industry for decades, the traditional model causes delays, generates travel costs and allows challenges to arise that can slow equipment transactions, financing decisions and operational planning.

Inspeq believes the industry is approaching a tipping point, where digital workflows and remote collaboration can significantly reduce these constraints while maintaining inspection quality and accountability. “The Triple” has been designed as a live test of that proposition.

“The most valuable resource in inspection will always be expertise. The future belongs to organisations that can deploy that expertise instantly, wherever equipment is located. Our role is to build the infrastructure that makes that possible,” adds Turner.

One hour, three yards – no passport required

The livestream will connect three dealer locations across three continents in a continuous one-hour inspection challenge, showcasing how equipment inspections can be conducted seamlessly from anywhere in the world:

• Stop 1: Italy – The challenge begins at CGT with an inspection of a CAT Compact Track Loader.
• Stop 2: South Africa – The second inspection will be conducted of a CAT Motor Grader at BLC Plant.
• Stop 3: United States – To conclude, a live inspection at Sunstate Equipment featuring a JLG Telescopic Boom Lift.
