Visual inspection library · Plant maintenance
Give maintenance staff a precise view of the hose route and visible concern. Record from a safe position with the equipment isolated under site procedure.
Hold to record. Keep holding while you film and speak; release to save the clip and its transcribed answer.
Four 9:16 example clips generated in Google Flow. Fictional inspection; no customer site is shown.
App-style example using Google Flow footage. The animated recording interface and gradually appearing words are scripted; no real inspection or live transcription took place.
The full visual example
Each short clip shows one point in the guided route. The footage is AI-generated and the observations are scripted examples, not findings from a real inspection.
Show the isolated machine and identify the accessible hose run from a safe position before moving closer.
The example excavator and external hose route are shown in the workshop.
Follow the accessible hose without contact and keep its clamp or adjacent feature in view to locate apparent cover wear.
The external hose cover and surrounding route are visible; possible wear needs in-person examination.
Film the external connection and surrounding hose from a safe angle. Do not loosen or manipulate a fitting for the clip.
A small area of surface discoloration is visible on an accessible fitting.
End with a wider view of the entire accessible route, clamps and any area that could not be seen.
The visible route is recorded again; hidden sections were not examined.
Identify the machine and hose position. Follow the site's isolation and access procedure before recording. Film a wide view, then the accessible hose cover, external fittings and final route. A phone video is not a pressure test, leak test, safe-to-use decision or substitute for a competent examination. Never touch a suspected leak, reach into moving machinery or remove guarding to get footage.

How to use the record
Record the asset or site, visit stage, date and inspector. Keep each clip attached to its point and note anything inaccessible.
Say what the camera shows and where it is. Record the next action without guessing the cause or declaring a specialist result from video.

Questions, answered
No. It records visible condition only. A competent person must determine any examination, repair or replacement required.
No. Follow the site's isolation and safe-access procedure. Do not approach moving machinery or suspected pressurised leaks for video.
No. Hidden layers and pressure integrity are outside the scope of phone footage.
