PZM Substation Inspections

Inspections are difficult to schedule and track. Deficiency repairs are unplanned and reactionary. Valuable data is written down every month and never analyzed to identify problems in the system, or to employ predictive maintenance.

PZM has solved these legacy problems. PZM adds value back into the inspection program and delivers instant reports with information you can act on to improve the reliability of your system and reduce the risk of failure of your equipment. PZM is easy to set-up—and once it is set-up, it instantly adds value.

Key Features that make PZM the best in-class inspection program:

• Equipment Specific Questions
• Mobile App with Cloud Based Technology
• Empowering Inspector Experience

Equipment Specific Questions

PZM knows the location and type of each piece of equipment in your system.

Inspection questions are tied to the specific type of equipment being inspected. For example:

At a single-phase step voltage regulator, the inspector is asked to document and reset drag hands. With an electronic recloser, the inspector is asked to check the battery terminals for corrosion and run a battery test. On a pneumatic oil breaker the inspector is asked to check the compressor crankcase oil level.

Mobile App with Cloud Based Technology

By using PZM, you can completely eliminate the use of paper. Not only do paper reports get lost, they typically get stored in a dusty file cabinet, never to be reviewed again. And, if they do get used, this requires a labor-intensive double entry process.

All equipment, inspection questions, deficiencies, data input, and documentation are kept on a secure, cloud-based server. This technology gives you a single-source-of-truth you can rely on to make critical decisions.

All your data and information is synchronized to PZM's secure servers on the cloud. And, inspection reports are accessible from anywhere with an internet connection.

PZM stores records of what was inspected, where it was inspected, and who completed the inspection. PZM makes regulatory and insurance compliance reports just a click away.

Empowering The Inspector Experience

PZM includes valuable tools to make the inspector's job simple and manageable.

When an inspector logs in to PZM, they instantly know how many days remain until the next inspection is due. This schedule is detailed for each piece of equipment. With PZM, inspectors can schedule their own work, and stay on-task.

The PZM software is GPS-enabled, allowing equipment to be sorted by the nearest proximity to the inspector. This gives inspectors and field technicians the ability to filter an area or a specific substation based on their location.
