PORTABLE INSPECTION AND CONTROL DEVICE
First Claim
1. An inspection assembly for a machine, the inspection assembly comprising:
- a portable computing device; and
a controller associated with the portable computing device, the controller configured to;
determine a set of activities related to inspection of the machine to be performed by an operator using the portable computing device, wherein the set of activities are related to inspection of machine parts during a physical walk around the machine performed by the operator;
determine if the operator has completed performing the set of activities; and
selectively augment a set of controls for operating the machine on the portable computing device based on the determination of the completion of the set of activities.

Abstract
An inspection assembly for a machine is provided. The inspection assembly includes a portable computing device. The inspection assembly further includes a controller associated with the portable computing device. The controller is configured to determine a set of activities related to inspection of the machine to be performed by an operator using the portable computing device. The set of activities are related to inspection of machine parts during a physical walk around the machine performed by the operator. The controller is configured to determine if the operator has completed performing the set of activities. The controller is configured to selectively augment a set of controls for operating the machine on the portable computing device based on the determination of the completion of the set of activities.
