In the nearly 70 years since Valley Children’s Healthcare has grown to be one of the largest pediatric healthcare networks in the country serving Central Valley children and families across approximately 45,000 square miles. Vice President, Jessie Hudgins, has been with Valley Children’s Healthcare for some 23 years and understands the importance of building the organization’s image and attitude into everything they do. “Being a pediatric healthcare provider, we are focused on helping children heal,” says Hudgins, who has been the Vice President of Construction for 12 years.

This could be a highly effective way to improve the accuracy and safety of visual inspections in the future. Regular inspections of equipment and sites are essential, not only to ensure the smooth running of a business, but also to keep workers safe. However, when equipment is difficult to access or sites are contaminated, it’s important that workers safety is not put further at risk while undertaking these inspections. Until AI systems become more sophisticated, remote visual technology directed and monitored by humans provides a safe solution in these circumstances.
From precision optics that monitor manufacturing equipment to commonly-used apps to complete a virtual building inspection, technology can make the viewing and maintenance of hard to reach areas easier, safer and, in some cases, more effective.
