Abstract
The system and method can determine the condition of a plant, its equipment and facilities, at inspection sites identified by identification codes. A portable processing device with an inspection transducer can sense and store at least one measured characteristic of the plant equipment. This device can also read at least one of the identification codes of the plant equipment. A central processing system can communicate with and upload from the portable processing device at least measured characteristics and identification codes. The central processing system can, in response to at least one measured characteristic and at least one of the identification codes, produce a condition signal signifying the condition of some aspect of the plant.
