Panasonic Connect and Inspectron Partner to Digitally Transform Inspections
Panasonic Connect North America, a division of Panasonic Corporation of North America, has announced a groundbreaking partnership with Inspectron® Inc. to revolutionize the inspection industry. This collaboration integrates Panasonic’s TOUGHBOOK® devices with Inspectron’s advanced imaging solutions, delivering a rugged and intelligent platform designed to digitize inspections across multiple industries.
Bringing Eyes to TOUGHBOOK
The combination of TOUGHBOOK computers and Inspectron’s innovative tools enables technicians, managers, and maintenance workers in industries such as automotive, heavy-duty machinery, field service, manufacturing, industrial, and the public sector to achieve:

With the growing complexity of vehicle and machinery inspections, repair workers are faced with significant challenges, including tight schedules, labor shortages, and the need for better visibility into hard-to-reach components.

Features such as WiCollab® app live streaming, photo and video storage, and high-definition imaging provide workers with greater control over inspections, improving clarity, collaboration, and efficiency.
According to Aidan Clifford, Director of Business Development at Panasonic Connect:
“TOUGHBOOK is trusted by fleet managers, OEM dealerships, heavy-duty repair professionals, and field service technicians nationwide. These professionals play a vital role in maintaining our essential infrastructure.
