Inspeq Gets Smarter as Krank Unveils Next-Level AI Inspections at bauma
Krank, the innovative UK-based technology firm, is shaking things up again. With a fresh update to its already ground-breaking inspection tool Inspeq, Krank is setting the stage for a smarter, faster, and more flexible future in construction and mining equipment inspections. The reveal? It’s all going down at bauma 2025, where the latest features will make their debut.
Inspeq, designed to streamline inspections across a diverse range of heavy machinery, now integrates advanced AI, video capabilities, multilingual support, and real-time reporting. Built on the backbone of Krank’s powerful CoreFlex architecture, this new release promises to eliminate inefficiencies that have plagued equipment inspections for decades.
CoreFlex: The Heart of a Customisable Powerhouse
At the centre of this transformation lies CoreFlex, Krank’s industry-specific, enterprise-ready configuration layer. It manages the modular components of Krank’s tech ecosystem, allowing businesses to tailor Inspeq precisely to their needs.
“CoreFlex drives everything we do,” says Mark Turner, CEO of Krank. “It’s enabling us to create a fully customisable inspection tool that can be tailored to the unique needs of every customer and asset, ensuring maximum efficiency for a wide range of industries.”
CoreFlex enables clients to build inspection workflows around specific assets—be it a 1,000-tonne crawler crane or a humble forklift—ensuring maximum relevance and efficiency. That level of flexibility isn’t just nice to have; it’s game-changing.
Standout New Features in the Latest Release
The new version of Inspeq builds on its strengths, while packing in some serious upgrades that bring inspections into the digital age.
1. Video-Driven Inspections with AI Snapshots
Imagine walking around a piece of machinery, dictating your inspection notes while a video captures every detail. Say, “take a picture,” and Inspeq instantly grabs the best frame. There’s no need to pause or fumble with buttons—the AI does the heavy lifting, selecting high-quality stills and embedding them into the report.
This feature not only speeds things up but ensures nothing gets missed. It’s particularly handy in environments where precision is critical and time is tight.
2. Guided Prompts to Ensure Thoroughness
On-screen prompts nudge users through each key inspection point. From checking seat belts to evaluating steering controls, the app ensures no stone is left unturned. These cues help maintain consistency across inspections, making training easier and results more reliable.
Whether you’re an experienced inspector or a newbie on the job, the prompts keep you on track and aligned with best practices.
3. Check-In/Check-Out Reporting for Rentals
Rental companies, take note. Inspeq now includes check-in/check-out functionality that compares pre- and post-use data. When users flag damage or wear and tear, the app compiles the information into a clear discrepancy report. That report can be sent directly to the repair division for a quote—no back-and-forth needed.
It’s a brilliant time-saver, and it gives rental firms better control over asset lifecycle management.
4. Multilingual Functionality
Inspeq speaks your language—literally. Now supporting English, Portuguese, Spanish, German, and French, the app can add additional languages in just two to three days. This fast localisation means companies operating across borders can roll out the system seamlessly to their global teams.
AI That Grows Smarter with Every Use
One of Inspeq’s biggest selling points is its evolving AI. Designed not to replace inspectors but to make them more effective, Inspeq’s AI learns with every inspection.
“The goal of our AI isn’t to replace inspectors; it’s to make the inspection process more efficient and accurate,” says Turner. “For example, when you inspect a bulldozer, Inspeq learns the specifics of that inspection and becomes more efficient with each use.”
Its upgraded transcription engine translates spoken notes into written text with even greater precision. Built to handle noisy environments like construction sites, the system uses context-aware processing and adaptive filtering to isolate voice input from background clatter.
In short, the more you use Inspeq, the smarter and faster it becomes.
A Glimpse into the Future of Equipment Inspections
Krank’s ambitions for Inspeq go far beyond a simple app. They envision it as a digital inspection standard across construction, mining, logistics, and equipment rentals.
“Inspeq’s flexibility is unmatched,” says Turner. “We’ve built a tool that can handle everything from a 1,000-ton crawler crane to a forklift truck. No one else has done that until now.”
By automating routine tasks and reducing human error, Inspeq frees up skilled workers to focus on higher-level tasks. It’s a win-win: better inspections, better productivity, and better use of talent.
