Overview
InspectionBank, also sold as ESInspectionBank, is inspection data management software from Eclipse Scientific, a non-destructive testing (NDT) company in Waterloo, Ontario. It covers the whole inspection cycle: planning a project, collecting ultrasonic and other scan data in the field, analysing it, and reporting results. Each inspected component keeps its inspection records by method, its data files and images, and its recorded indications, and the software shows the component's state graphically. The suite also includes a People module for training, certifications, medical and safety records, and scheduling; an Assets module for calibration, maintenance, and usage of inspection equipment; and a Projects module that splits work into jobs mapped to components. Document control uses check-in and check-out versioning, and procedures and techniques can be written and distributed in the software. Older data files can be moved to archive media without losing the inspection record. A disconnected client lets crews work without a server connection and syncs new inspections when they reconnect. Clients can view published reports through a web portal. An interface module exchanges records with other systems using XML. The suite fits NDT service providers and asset owners in power generation and petrochemicals that need consistent records across projects and offices, in place of spreadsheets and external drives. Eclipse Scientific does not publish pricing, so buyers must request a quote. The main drawback is how little independent information exists: directories show no user reviews, the vendor publishes no security certifications or API documentation, and third-party listings disagree on supported platforms.
Our Rating
Who InspectionBank is best for
Best software for Energy CompaniesGood fit
Eclipse Scientific says it serves power generation and petrochemical customers, and the suite tracks inspections at the component level for plant owners.
The disconnected client supports field data collection without a connection and syncs inspections back to the server.
Less suited
NDT service companies can manage procedures, technique documents, personnel certifications, and client report delivery in one system.
Component inspection records and NDT data management suit quality inspection of components, but the product targets in-service inspection more than production.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Keeps NDT scan data files, component inspection records, and recorded indications together for each component, instead of in spreadsheets and external drives.
- Combines personnel certification and training tracking with equipment calibration records, which NDT service companies need for audits.
- The disconnected client lets inspectors work at sites without a connection and syncs new inspections automatically when they reconnect.
- The client web portal gives plant owners browser access to published reports, which cuts the delay between field work and delivery.
- The vendor is a specialist in ultrasonic NDT and also makes the BeamTool technique development software.
Cons
- No public pricing and no free trial listed, so buyers cannot compare cost without contacting sales.
- Directories such as SourceForge and Slashdot show no user reviews, so there is little independent evidence of real-world performance.
- The only documented integration route is XML import and export through the IB Interface. Directories list Excel as the only integration and show no API.
- The vendor's pages give no details on hosting, encryption, authentication, or compliance certifications.
- Third-party listings disagree on supported platforms. SourceForge lists cloud only and no mobile support, yet the vendor describes a disconnected mobile client.
