The development of PrüfExpress
The development of PrüfExpress began with the identification of a major need: the safe, efficient and legally compliant testing of work equipment in an industrial environment. This requirement was defined by the German Ordinance on Industrial Safety and Health (BetrSichV), which stipulates regular testing of all work equipment in order to ensure the safety of employees and support occupational health and safety.
The development of PrüfExpress began in 2004 with a comprehensive process analysis. The aim was to digitize and standardize the previous error-prone and time-consuming inspection process. In a first step, over 10,000 index cards were scanned and photos of all new work equipment were recorded in a central database. This step enabled a continuous digital data flow without media disruptions.
In 2005, the decision was made to equip all relevant work equipment with transponders in order to simplify testing and documentation. In 2006, the introduction of mobile inspections began, with pocket PCs (PDAs) being used to carry out the inspections on site and transfer the results directly to the SAP system. This synchronization enabled immediate availability of the test reports and significantly reduced the administrative workload.

This synchronization enabled immediate availability of the test reports and significantly reduced the administrative workload.
Over the years, the system has been continuously expanded and improved. In 2008, PrüfExpress received the European Auto ID Award for the innovative use of RFID technology in maintenance. By 2011, PrüfExpress had been introduced in several plants of a large automotive group and now supports the inspection of more than 50,000 items of work equipment.
Between 2016 and 2017, they worked in cooperation with Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences on the further development of PrüfExpress, an iPhone app for testing work equipment. This collaboration resulted in the second version of PrüfExpress, which has evolved into a versatile and modular system. Now it no longer only worked on PDAs, but also on iPhones and Android devices. It also enabled direct data synchronization via the Internet. This adaptation was necessary to meet changing requirements and to support the Group’s strategy of switching from Windows smartphones to Apple iPhones.
Since 2018, PrüfExpress has been continuously developed and new functions have been added. In recent years, the work equipment inspection software has established itself as an indispensable solution for inspection management and work equipment controlling. Thanks to continuous innovations such as the introduction of the cloud-based SaaS application and the customization of the user interface, PrüfExpress now offers an impressive range of functions. These include comprehensive master data management, efficient inspection management, targeted work equipment controlling, the introduction of public websites for each work equipment and the proactive recording and processing of fault reports.
