Inspection management platform
15/05/2020
Data handling can be heavy, disorganised and complicated, but the Olympus Scientific Cloud (OSC) version 3.0 offers powerful new tools that simplify the process, enabling users to leverage the Internet of Things (IoT) and Industry 4.0 for their inspection and analytical applications. Accessed directly from the Olympus IMS website, users will experience a streamlined user interface (UI), the new App Marketplace, instrument fleet and personnel management tools, cloud data storage and more.The OSC 3.0 is a single-source platform for all connected Olympus industrial devices to provide continuously enhanced, comprehensive solutions. By signing up for a free OSC account, users with Olympus wireless-enabled devices, including the Vanta™ XRF analyser, EPOCH™ 6LT flaw detector and 38DL PLUS™ thickness gauge with a 38-Link™ adaptor, can expand the capabilities of their instruments with free features such as 10 GB of storage per tenant, wireless software updates, cloud access to manuals and calibration certificates, user registration, role management and more.
The IPM app transforms thickness gauge inspection workflows by making them more agile. For supervisors, it provides the tools they need to manage their projects efficiently. Projects can be broken down into as many jobs as required, with tasks and instruments assigned to specific inspectors. Managers maintain visibility throughout the inspection and can monitor the status of each project, job and task. Inspectors in the field can download survey files that have been provisioned for them by a manager and share data with supervisors in the office as soon as it has been captured. Future updates will expand the capabilities of this app to work with other Olympus industrial products.
The OSC provides a single location where administrators can control the users and devices associated with their cloud tenant. Admins can control users’ privileges and roles, add/remove members, manage their data and manage subscriptions. For devices, users can add new devices to their tenant and view previously registered instruments. The critical documentation associated with each instrument, such as calibration certificates and user manuals, can also be viewed and downloaded.
The OSC makes it easier to get the right information in front of the right people quickly and efficiently. Each OSC tenant receives 10 GB of free data storage and users can upload any type of file necessary. If more than 10 GB of storage is required, users can add more by subscribing to a higher tier of service.
The OSC is protected by leading-edge security features and is built on the Microsoft Azure platform. Users maintain full ownership and control over their data and Olympus does not access or share customer information.
