The Boiler
and Pressure Vessel Field Operation Website (BPVFOW)
is designed to be fully interactive, that
allows the field personnel to maintain boiler and
pressure vessel information such as adding, changing
and deleting their inspection findings, generating
reports, and much more. A web site offers an alternative
to conventional inspection entry methods by reducing
or eliminating the paperwork.
The data entry
is done by the inspectors from their homes or field
offices. This eliminates transcription errors and paper
handling. The clerical staff previously doing data entry
can now be redirected to quality control and improving
customer service. A secondary benefit of a web site
is that it provides the inspectors with direct access
to the office database.
The website
comes with complete security checking and validation.
The website is connected to the live production database
thus giving the field staff access to the most current
data. The site is designed from the “field operations”
viewpoint. The field staff is given functions that allow
for entry, revision, and reporting of all activities
associated with field inspections.
The BPVFOW
is a PC based program compatible with Microsoft Windows
98 through Windows XP operating systems and uses MS
Internet Explorer 5.0 or greater.
