IC-Inspection¶
IC-Inspection is an on-line Eventing software application optimised for use in the off-shore environment. IC-Inspection is built around a Microsoft SQL Server relational database with events (items of inspection) referenced to positional data and assets. IC-Inspection can be configured to interface with:
- Survey systems, showing time, date, and ROV position;
- ROV video inputs, enabling image and video sequence references to events;
- Digital video recorders;
- Instruments such as CP Probes, FMD, providing automatic data input of results;
- Other digital input devices, through customisation of the software to suit the input string.
The IC-Inspection package is teamed with IC-Recorder to provide a digital recording package for real-time based online eventing. Multi-camera, sonar and profiling data can be recorded digitally with positional data displayed by IC-Recorder. NEXUS Integrity Centre (NEXUS IC) is used to configure the database, event definitions and other relationships used within IC-Inspection.
To learn how the grids and toolbar buttons presented in many of IC-Inspection’s panels work, see Common Features.
A basic strategy for using IC-Inspection would be:
- Configure a NEXUS IC database, including Assets, Event Types, and optionally Tasks and Drawings.
- Configure IC-Inspection, including desktops, Devices, Survey Values and optionally Event Templates.
- Configure digital video recorders, whether IC-Recorder or a third-party recorder.
- Use the Tasks list or the Drawings to drive the inspection, completing tasks until none remain.
- Launch ad-hoc events as required.
- For each event form, fill in the form, optionally attaching still images captured from digital video recorders.
A training manual, showing how to use IC-Inspection for offshore eventing and NEXUS IC for offshore review, is available.
