Customer Testimonial: Falcker
About Falcker: Digital Inspections
Falcker specializes in industrial inspections of various types of installations, such as storage tanks, pipelines, and scaffolding. Falcker ensures that customers gain insight into the reliability of their assets. All inspections are recorded in a digital portal. This allows the customer to verify for themselves whether the modifications have been properly implemented or whether additional maintenance is needed.
Falcker specializes in visual inspections and has replaced traditional inspectors with drones and software. This enables customers to better ensure the integrity of their installations and provides faster insight into the condition of an asset during external audits—such as those conducted by regulatory authorities—which helps build greater trust. Falcker’s entire workflow makes the inspection process more efficient and time-saving.
Using LeanForms to Manage Drone Operations
One of the applications for which Falcker LeanForms is used is managing drone operations.
Based on internal procedures and drone laws and regulations, they want to maintain control over their activities and the resources used to carry them out. This requires them to keep track of the necessary information, such as flight locations, emergency procedures, and communication with air traffic control.
In addition, they must document who the pilot is, the number of flights, the flight duration, and whether a risk analysis has been conducted.
All of this information is recorded centrally in various digital forms within LeanForms.
From Digital to Professional with LeanForms
Before launching LeanForms, Falcker was already using simple digital forms. These forms were static, lacked consistency, and did not provide a comprehensive overview.
Furthermore, due to major changes in (European) legislation, there was a need for more comprehensive record-keeping of work activities.
With this in mind, Falcker has decided to take a more professional approach and start using LeanForms for this purpose.
Other Uses of LeanForms at Falcker
In addition to the forms for drone inspections, LeanForms is widely used at Falcker.
Falcker has various materials that must be inspected in accordance with NEN standards and tracked. To streamline this process, they use a specially developed form within LeanForms.
Another use case is staff check-in. Staff members regularly visit different sites and must check in at each one. Sometimes these check-ins expire and need to be reactivated. With LeanForms, Falcker can streamline this check-in process.
Another smart feature of Falcker is the automation of digital reporting based on an inspection form. One example of this is measuring gas emissions above a tank using a drone equipped with a gas sensor. Previously, these measurements were recorded on paper, but now they can be quickly and easily processed in LeanForms and turned into a report right away.
“We used to record inspection results on paper, but now we do it in LeanForms. That way, we can quickly turn them into a report.” — Lars Nieuwenburg, Operations Manager at Falcker
The advantages: Rollability and efficiency
Falcker has found several benefits to using LeanForms, such as time savings and the ability to easily locate information. Furthermore, all the information is stored in one place, making it easily accessible to everyone.
For Falcker, the main advantage of LeanForms lies in the combination of its portability and efficiency, which saves time. It’s easy to search through information, and it’s user-friendly. Plus, information can be quickly recorded on-site.
Drone pilots must keep a log of their flight hours. This information can also be retrieved from LeanForms.
All in all, LeanForms is an efficient and user-friendly way for Falcker to track and share information.
“You can quickly create a simple form that’s easy to analyze.”
