Bluetooth devices streamline data collection in inspections by using sensors to capture accurate readings. These devices help reduce errors from manual recording and maintain assets in optimal condition. With SafetyCulture, your team can seamlessly pair Bluetooth devices to record readings for temperature, pH level, paint thickness, or oil quality during inspections. You can capture these readings using templates that have questions with the following response types:
