Inspection Software for a Compliant Future | Safer Working & Management of Equipment in Explosive Atmospheres & Hazardous Area Workplaces
What is ATEX Inspect?
ATEXInspect is a cloud based software for the management of equipment installed in hazardous area locations and potentially explosive atmospheres (ATEX).
The ATEXInspect app can be used on any device with a browser and internet connection.
There is no need to install any software, just login and access your secure data from anywhere you need.
It will carry out inspections and automatically raise faults straight from your inspection. These faults can then easily have work orders assigned to them, completing the cycle.
Use ATEXInspect to manage other inspections such as emergency ATEX lighting and fixed wire inspections.
ATEXInspect can easily be used with tablets designed for hazardous areas.
Allowing all related documents, drawings and certification to be accessed from one device while on site or in the office. The software can be accessed from multiple locations allowing collaboration between your sites and offices.
Why ATEX Inspect?
- Team Collaboration – ATEXInspect allows remote collaboration. The originator may be on one site (or continent) and the checker or approver on another.
- Element & Tag Database – The element database and Tag management application work together to manage your assets and allow you to reuse your elements throughout ATEXInspect.
- Competence is now Mandatory – ATEX Inspect only allows personnel with appropriate competence levels to check and/or approve records.
- Automatic QA Version Control – All critical records are traceable to originator/checker/approver with automatic ‘revving’.
- Location Management – Manage your records using a hierarchy. Site – Plant – Area.
ATEX Inspect Features
Fault Management System
ATEXInspect has an innovative fault management system that gives live and updated information in real time. It enables the user to create your site standard fault codes, that can be assigned when hazardous area equipment is inspected.
Using the ATEXInspect dashboard you can quickly identify how many of your tags are in fault, which are then categorised into the resolution of a fault, your operator can easily access the related tag and close out the fault.
Site manager reviewing inspections and faults from the office
Reporting In Hazardous Area & Explosive Atmospheres

- Site fault reports
- Plant fault reports
- Area fault reports
- Inspection reports
- Emergency lighting reports
