> Sample threads for maintenance technicians and supervisors closing work orders and logging inspections by voice note.

For maintenance technicians, supervisors, quality inspectors and EHS staff: the people who carry a phone and move around the plant. Tools: [MaintainX](https://asktack.com/docs/integrations/maintainx/), [Mitti (formerly SafetyCulture)](https://asktack.com/docs/integrations/mitti/), [UpKeep](https://asktack.com/docs/integrations/upkeep/), [Limble](https://asktack.com/docs/integrations/limble/) and [Fiix](https://asktack.com/docs/integrations/fiix/), all coming soon.

**Status:** these integrations and voice-note transcription are still being built, so the threads below show where we're headed, not what works today.

Many plants restrict phones on the production floor. The assistant is built for **after the task, not during it**: send a voice note on your break or once you're off the line. Because noise makes transcription errors more likely, it confirms before every change.

## Close a work order by voice note

> **You:** 🎤 "Conveyor 3 bearing was grinding. Replaced it, took 40 minutes, used one 6205 bearing."
>
> **Tack:** Close WO-1182: 40 min labor, 1× 6205 bearing (8 left after this). OK?
>
> **You:** Yes
>
> **Tack:** Closed ✅ Check Conveyor 3 again in 30 days?

## Failed inspection with a photo

> **You:** Forklift 2 failed pre-shift, brakes soft *(photo)*
>
> **Tack:** Log a failed inspection for Forklift 2, open a high-priority action for maintenance and tag it out of service?
>
> **You:** Yes
>
> **Tack:** Done. Notify the maintenance lead?

## Photo to work order

> **You:** *(photo)* Leak under press 4, hydraulic I think
>
> **Tack:** Create a work request "Hydraulic leak, Press 4" with this photo, priority high?

## Shared devices

Your account is tied to your own phone number or Apple ID, not to a device, so shared tablets and kiosks don't mix up who did what.
