Fake-proof inspections at sea: one part, one cycle

Before the system, inspections lived on personal phones and chat threads. Supervisors retyped vessel, part, date, and time into spreadsheets while old photos could be resent as fresh checks.

XMARTECH built a closed internal iOS app on company-issued devices. Access is admin-provisioned per vessel. The checklist only opens what is due. Capture is live only — geotag and timestamp at the moment the photo is taken.

Each part requires four angles before submit unlocks. Once submitted, the slot locks until the next weekly or monthly cycle. A reprint or screen capture cannot invent four coherent views of a three-dimensional part.

Offline-first capture means the work finishes when the crew finishes — not when the satellite link cooperates. Records upload when connectivity returns.

Machines enforce what machines can verify. A human reviewer still confirms part match. Automation stops where judgment starts. That honesty is the architecture.
