About Ideagen Machine Safety

Ideagen Machine Safety (formerly Ideagen Plant Assessor) is an EHS management software designed to help businesses in the construction, government, mining, transportation, utilities and other sectors monitor, manage and record issues across equipment. The platform enables managers to record assessment results, operators’ details and service statuses of various machines on a unified interface.

Administrators can conduct risk assessments to detect and control hazards, analyze gaps and ensure compliance. Ideagen Machine Safety allows teams to view site snapshots, manage fleets, inspect on-site equipment and close outstanding actions. Additionally, operators can perform pre-start checks and share real-time results with contractors using mobile applications on Android and iOS devices.

It lets dealers share warranty documents, manuals, invoices and other purchase-related files with clients on a centralized dashboard. Ideagen Machine Safety is available for free and on monthly subscriptions and support is extended via email, knowledge base and an online contact form.

Long time user with 80+ machines in the Plant Assessor library

In developing plant risk assessments, it's unparalleled - no other software that I'm aware of matches it. We found that using it to track when services were due didn't work for us because we were unable to set up email alerts to alert admins when machines were coming up due for a service.

Pros:

Brings consistency to the plant risk assessment process. Cites applicable legislation and standards to the controls so you can cross reference the source of the requirements. The prestart warnings it gave to operators if they accidentally put in an incorrect hour meter that would jump the hours up definitely saved a lot of time in admin.

Cons:

Steep pricing. The invoicing template made it difficult to know which machine specifically we were being invoiced for.

Reasons for choosing Ideagen Machine Safety

Plant Assessor templates were more sophisticated and standardised.

Vendor Response

Hi Elliott, Thanks for leaving us a review here on Capterra. It's great to hear from a long time user such as yourself. It's wonderful to know that you find Ideagen Plant Assessor unparalleled with its standardised templates, bringing consistency to your machinery risk assessments. Thanks for your input on the price of our platform. Our pricing reflects the value we aim to provide through continuous product enhancements and dedicated support. Thanks again for your review. We appreciate you taking the time to provide us with feedback.

Pros:

Nil - Other existing platforms are much better, and free. I can't understand why a site would set up this system that makes you pay per machine on site.

Cons:

Terrible platform. Difficult to know how much you need to pay to have machines on site, poor customer service, frustrating user experience.

Reasons for switching to Ideagen Machine Safety

Not by choice, we forced by the client to use this system.
