Pulp and paper mill inspections, closed out before startup.
The form your mill already uses, digitized as is. Filled out by photo and voice, with no signal under the steel, and every finding pinned to its level and asset.

Five processes that cost your mill hours today, and how PAIR changes them
| Today |  |
|---|---|
| Each contractor turns in paper sheets at shift end, and planning keys them in while the outage clock keeps running. | Mill shutdown · major maintenance inspectionsEvery record arrives time-stamped and signed. Rules create the task with an owner and a due date, and progress shows on the dashboard. |
| Findings go into a notebook and get located from memory: “north side, roughly the third floor.” | Recovery boiler · inspection by elevationEvery finding is pinned to its boiler elevation, with photo, time and owner, and added to the asset history. |
| Operators walk pumps, valves and tanks with a printed checklist that gets keyed in, if ever, at week’s end. | Digester and fiber line · equipment roundsThe round is filled out by photo and voice, offline. AI proposes the values and the operator approves them before closing.with AI |
| The anomaly lands in the shift log, not in the asset history, and next time nobody can find it. | Paper machine · rolls, clothing and dryersEvery anomaly is added to the asset history, and the dashboard shows where it repeats, no spreadsheet required. |
| The day’s readings and observations are copied into spreadsheets, and the monthly report is pieced together by email. | Woodyard and effluent treatment · daily roundsEvery reading keeps its fill time. The report comes out as a PDF with your company letterhead, or exports to Excel. |

What it costs your mill today
Digester, recovery boiler, fiber line, paper machine, woodyard and effluent treatment.
During the outage, inspection sheets pile up and startup waits for someone to type them in.
The photo of the recovery boiler finding shows no level and no date, and nobody remembers who took it.
The failure comes back, the asset history is scattered across three shifts of spreadsheets, and troubleshooting starts over.

Frequently asked questions
How do I digitize shutdown inspections at a pulp mill?
With a photo. Snap the shutdown form, or any document, and in a couple of minutes or less the app turns it into a form with its sections, fields and checkboxes. You can also do it over WhatsApp with our chatbot, or build it field by field in the app.
Does it work in parts of the mill with no signal?
Yes. In a gallery, an electrical room or inside a piece of equipment, the form fills out completely offline, and anything pending syncs on its own once coverage returns. Every record keeps the fill time and the server arrival time.
How do you track maintenance history by asset at a paper mill?
Every inspection is added to the asset history, with due dates per item. Every correction logs who, when and why. Everything exports to Excel or PDF, and a read-only API feeds Power BI.
