The
MIDAS program provides for the transmission of inspection
assignments to inspectors, entry of inspection findings
on a PDA (Personal Data Assistant), and transmission
of inspection findings to the home office. All of
this done in a format consistent with National Board
inspection standards and in support of jurisdictional
inspection requirements.
MIDAS eliminates
office data entry of inspection findings, greatly reduces
the turnaround time between inspections, invoicing and
other correspondence, and eliminates clerical transcription
errors.
The
field component (the PDA) provides for:
• Entry of inspection findings.
• Revision of the data sheet elements.
• Display of previous inspection findings.
• Revision of owner, location addresses and
contact information.
• On site printing of an Inspection Report.
• Entry and printing of inspector and customer
signatures.
