Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

We would like to develop a mobile app that can be used during sheave inspections.

We envision this being an ongoing development process from a simple reporting system to a more sophisticated development tool.

Phase One:

  • A Sheave Inspection Template for inspectors to follow.
  • Ability to take and store photographs
  • An online site where the inspections can be stored, edited and sent to relevant parties.
  • Ability to purchase new gauges through the app and/or directed to website.

Phase Two (New Inspection Tools):

  • Integration of new gauge inspection tools and more accurate measurements

Phase Three (Marketing):

  • Ability to brand the Mobile for Industry Partners
  • Create an online database to order new sheaves and other associated parts

Phase Four (Advanced Measurement Tool):

  • Ultimately we would like to build a tool that can measure the sheave dimensions using the mobile phones camera.
  • This could possibly be done using a laser.
  • Another possibility would be to use existing gauge technology.
