E-SIMMS
Afrigle Innovations, in close collaboration with industry partners, developed e‑SIMM’s, a next‑generation digital structural inspection application built in accordance with SIMMS governing guidelines. This real‑time inspection and logging platform transforms traditional structural assessments by combining engineered workflows with integrated IoT telemetry and advanced diagnostic tools.
The system supports a full suite of modern inspection technologies, including:
Infrared (IR) Scanning
Thermal imaging is used to detect temperature variations that reveal hidden defects such as cracks, corrosion, moisture ingress, and delamination.
Precision Crack Measurement
A specialised illuminated magnifier with built‑in measurement scales enables accurate detection and quantification of crack widths during field inspections.
Integrated Imaging
A high‑resolution camera captures in‑situ, real‑time images for analysis, traceability, and long‑term record keeping.
Real‑Time Data Transfer
All field data — measurements, images, notes, and digital signatures — is transmitted instantly to the backend of an integrated AMMS ERP system. This ensures repair tasks are automatically scheduled and decision‑makers always have access to accurate, up‑to‑date structural condition information.
(e‑SIMM’s SA is currently integrated with a mining‑sector SAP environment.)
Online & Offline Operation
The mobile application is engineered for harsh and remote environments. Inspections can be completed offline, with all data stored locally and automatically synchronised with the ARM ERP once connectivity is restored.
Barcode & QR Code Integration
Technicians can scan asset barcodes or QR codes to instantly retrieve equipment history, perform inspections, and initiate corrective actions — reducing manual entry and eliminating transcription errors.
Guided Workflows & Dynamic Checklists
The application provides structured, step‑by‑step inspection workflows that adapt to asset type and condition. This ensures consistency, compliance, and repeatable quality across all inspection teams.
Automated Notifications & Work Order
Any issue identified during an inspection can automatically trigger alerts or generate new work orders within the AMMS ERP system. This enables faster response times, proactive maintenance, and improved asset reliability.
e‑SIMM’s replaces outdated paper‑based checklists with a fully digital, automated inspection ecosystem — delivering instant data updates, real‑time work scheduling, and actionable insights that drive safer, more efficient operations.
If you want, I can also format this into a grid layout, a product page, a brochure section, or a pitch‑deck slide.
