technology that has improved and moved on, but how we dress a ride today. Theming is now the norm on many rides and attractions and must be considered and accommodated within the inspection routines and schedules,” says David, adding that theming can often include special effects that require specialist engineers to inspect and check on a scheduled basis.
The digital transformation Commenting on the continued evolution of ride and attraction maintenance checklist programmes, David is keen to promote the use of digital to streamline operations and make the experience even safer for guests. “We must mention the digital evolution that we see now in our maintenance management and checklist programs across the park, not just on rides and attractions,” he says. “I joined this revolution some 4 years ago now, taking me
full circle from my days crawling under the Eyerly aircraft company Monster ride at the Pleasure Beach with my all- knowing senior engineer. “The team at Mobaro approached me with the pitch that
they could put the file cabinet from the workshop onto the very buggy used by park maintenance technicians to provide them with the information they need at the ride when they need it. Fair enough, my reply was along the lines of, ‘if you can put it in the technician’s pocket, I am in’. “And so here we are with digital systems becoming more commonplace now in the amusement and attractions industry.
“This is not a new phenomenon they have been in use for many years at both larger and smaller parks and attraction facilities in one form or another. “In my humble opinion, I do believe it is just a matter of time
before the entire industry shifts over to digital mobile solutions “A digital system should provide your maintenance team or
whatever team you have in the park conducting checks with an intelligent and informed mobile solution. It needs to provide not only checklist content on a hand-held device, but all the support materials including manufacturers’ manuals, bulletins, safety procedures, safe systems of work and an efficient way of creating maintenance tasks and work orders. “Many of you who know me will be aware that when I am
given a box to stand on, I will make the most of it and will pick a particular safety topic and make a little noise about it. So, in closing, I would like to mention the very important and indeed relevant topic of ride and attraction lock-out/energy isolation procedures. “This is one of the single most important safety procedures when it comes to providing a safe environment and workplace on or about the rides and attractions for your team members “My role at Mobaro takes me around the world working on checklist content and safety procedures. I can assure you I never leave home without my lock out device. It’s the first item in my travel bag.” Before any work or check and inspection routine commences on a ride or attraction it must be made safe. “Lock it out for safety!” is David’s closing piece of advice.
Using digital to streamline operations and make the experience even safer for guests.
