Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the most common questions about SnapCor.
1. What is SnapCor?
SnapCor is a thermographic inspection reporting platform that turns thermal and visual images into fully formatted, professional PDF reports in under 60 seconds. It is designed specifically for electrical thermography and building envelope inspections, automating data entry, load correction, fault grading, and report layout so thermographers can deliver client-ready reports directly from the field.
2. Who is SnapCor for?
SnapCor is built for anyone who needs to produce high-quality thermal imaging reports at scale, including:
- Thermographers and infrared consultants
- Electrical maintenance and reliability engineers
- Facilities management and FM providers
- Data centre operators and critical power teams
- Oil & gas, utilities, manufacturing, and industrial plants
Whether you’re a solo inspector or an enterprise with multi-site operations, SnapCor helps standardise thermographic reporting across your organisation.
3. What problems does SnapCor solve vs manual reports?
Traditional thermography reporting often relies on Excel, Word templates, or camera vendor software. These workflows are slow, inconsistent, and hard to standardise across teams.
SnapCor solves this by:
- Automating report layout and formatting
- Applying BS7671-compliant load and temperature correction automatically
- Standardising fault grading (Minor, Important, Serious, Critical)
- Embedding thermal & visual images, data tables, and trending graphs into a single PDF
- Generating reports on-site without needing a laptop or office-based software.
The result: less time formatting, more time inspecting and advising clients.
4. Is SnapCor a cloud platform, a mobile app, or both?
SnapCor is an offline-first, hybrid system:
- On-device app running on Android (tablet and mobile) and Windows devices for field data capture and instant report generation
- Optional central system (WebCor) for syncing reports, trending across multiple sites, and enterprise-wide analytics.
You can work entirely offline during inspections, then sync data securely when you’re back online.
5. What types of inspections can I do with SnapCor?
SnapCor supports both electrical thermography and building envelope surveys, including:
- LV & HV electrical panels
- MCCs, switchboards, ACBs, contactors, isolators, UPS systems
- Motors, generators, control panels, transformers
- Cable terminations, busbars, distribution boards
- Building envelope inspections (insulation defects, thermal leaks, air infiltration, cladding, moisture ingress)
6. How quickly can SnapCor generate a report?
SnapCor is engineered for speed. A typical 50-image electrical thermography report can be generated in under 60 seconds once the data is captured and graded in the app.
Because the fault pages, tables, and images are automatically laid out, thermographers can deliver ISO-aligned, client-ready PDFs before they leave the site.
7. Does SnapCor work offline on site?
Yes. SnapCor is designed as an offline-first thermography reporting app:
- All inspection data is stored locally on the device
- Reports can be generated and exported without an internet connection
- When a connection is available, reports can be synced to the central WebCor system or exported to your CMMS/BMS.
This is ideal for remote sites, substations, plants, and data centres where connectivity is limited.
8. What kind of reports does SnapCor produce?
SnapCor generates fully formatted PDF thermography reports that typically include:
- Executive summary and asset inventory
- Fault pages with thermal & visual images
- Temperature and load data tables
- Fault grading (Minor / Important / Serious / Critical)
- BS7671-compliant load/temperature correction data
- Trending graphs comparing current vs previous inspections
- Work orders and remedial recommendations
These reports are designed to be ISO 18436-7-aligned and audit-ready for clients and regulators.
9. How does SnapCor handle fault grading and severity?
SnapCor uses a built-in fault grading system to classify each anomaly as Minor, Important, Serious, or Critical. This grading is based on temperature rise, load conditions, and risk to asset integrity or safety.
By standardising severity levels across your thermography team, SnapCor supports consistent, risk-based maintenance decisions and makes it easy for clients to prioritise remedial work.
10. Does SnapCor support trending and condition monitoring?
Yes. SnapCor can track temperature and load data for each asset over time, enabling:
- Trending graphs for recurring inspections
- Comparison between current and historical thermographic surveys
- Identification of slow-developing faults and degradation patterns
This turns thermographic inspections into a powerful condition monitoring and predictive maintenance tool.
11. Can SnapCor automatically perform BS 7671 load & temperature correction?
Yes. For electrical thermography, SnapCor includes automatic load correction and temperature rise calculations aligned with BS7671 cable temperature references.
This means inspectors don’t need to manually calculate corrected temperatures or look up reference tables—the app embeds compliant values directly into the report, reducing error and improving traceability.
12. Does SnapCor use AI? How?
SnapCor uses AI and rule-based logic to accelerate reporting while keeping the thermographer in control:
- AI-assisted annotation of faults and anomalies
- Intelligent defect classification and suggested severity
- Auto-generated remedial recommendations from a standardised root-cause library
- Validation of temperature data and load inputs
You still make the final call, but SnapCor removes repetitive typing and helps keep language consistent across all reports.
13. Can I customise report templates and fields in SnapCor?
Yes. SnapCor supports configurable report templates and input fields, especially in Pro and Enterprise tiers:
- Custom fields for site, asset, and client information
- Optional sections for specific industries (e.g., data centres, O&G, FM)
- Branding with your company logo and colour scheme (Pro/Enterprise)
- Flexible work order and remedial sections
This allows you to align SnapCor output with your internal standards or client requirements.
