Thermography teams are under pressure to do more with less time: more inspections, more data, more stakeholders – but less tolerance for delays.
Traditionally, the bottleneck hasn’t been the survey itself. It’s everything that happens after:
- Downloading images from cameras
- Copy–pasting data into Word or Excel
- Applying correction formulas
- Formatting reports into something a client will actually read
SnapCor changes this. Built on the proven TICOR engine and integrated with the WebCor central platform, SnapCor is a thermographic reporting system that generates professional, ISO 18436-7 and BS 7671-aligned reports directly on-site, in under 60 seconds.
In this guide, we’ll walk through the end-to-end workflow so thermographers can clearly visualise how SnapCor fits into their daily work.
Why On-Site Reporting Matters
Before we jump into the steps, it’s worth highlighting why “report before you leave site” is such a big advantage:
- Faster decision-making – Maintenance teams can plan remedial actions while you’re still in the plant or data centre.
- Less rework and missing data – You validate each fault page while standing in front of the panel, not days later in the office.
- Higher perceived value – Clients receive a professional PDF report immediately, not “in a few days”.
- Compliance and consistency – SnapCor embeds formulas for load correction, thermal indexing, trending, and fault grading, removing the risk of manual calculation errors.
What Is SnapCor? (And How It Relates to TICOR & WebCor)
SnapCor is a thermographic inspection reporting platform built specifically for electrical and building inspections. It runs on Android tablets and mobile devices, using the TICOR engine underneath and optionally syncing to WebCor for centralised reporting and trending.
Key capabilities relevant to your workflow:
- Instant report generation on the inspection device (under ~60 seconds for ~50 images).
- Works with any thermal camera that can export images (FLIR, Fotric, Workswell, Hikmicro, Guide Sensmart, InfraTec and more).
- AI-assisted annotation & defect classification to standardise fault descriptions and remedial recommendations.
- Automatic load correction & thermal indexing to keep electrical reports aligned with BS 7671 and ISO 18436-7.
- Fault grading & trending – faults automatically tagged as Minor / Important / Serious / Critical, with trending graphs comparing current vs previous inspections.
In practice, SnapCor is your field tool, TICOR is the engine, and WebCor is your campaign management and trending hub.
Step-by-Step: Delivering On-Site Reports with SnapCor
Step 1 – Set Up Your Inspection Campaign
Before you arrive on site, you (or a planner) can prepare the inspection in TICOR/WebCor:
- Import or create the equipment inventory
- Choose the correct SnapCor template
- Assign inspections to devices/users
Result: When you open SnapCor on your tablet, the day’s inspections and asset lists are already loaded.
Step 2 – Capture Thermal & Visual Images in the Field
On site, your workflow is built around each piece of equipment:
- Select the asset from the inspection list on SnapCor.
- Capture or import thermal images
- Add a visual (digital) image of the same component for context and future maintenance crews.
Because SnapCor is built for real-time reporting, you don’t have to queue data for later; images are assigned to equipment as you go, mirroring how seasoned thermographers already work with TICOR.
Step 3 – Record Measurements & Context Once, Not Twice
For each fault or observation, SnapCor guides you through a structured set of inputs:
- Operating conditions – load, ambient temperature, panel cover status, equipment priority.
- Quantitative data – measured temperatures, delta T, current readings (L1/L2/L3/neutral), supply voltage, etc.
- Problem description – “elevated temperature on 6T3 connection”, “possible phase imbalance”, “earth cable indicating higher temperature than normal”, etc.
- Suspected root cause – loose / deteriorated connection, design issue, corrosion, component damage (via pre-configured knowledge-based library).
- Remedial action – “check, clean & re-make connection to prescribed standard”, “consider fitting uprated component”, “repair or replace as necessary”, etc.
SnapCor’s pre-built root cause library and remedial options mean you don’t need to retype similar text for every fault; you simply select from structured drop-downs and add detail where needed.
Step 4 – Let SnapCor Handle the Analysis
Once images and data are captured, SnapCor’s engine applies the heavy maths and logic automatically:
- Electrical load correction – Based on measured temperature, ambient conditions, and load patterns, SnapCor adjusts results to the appropriate reference temperature per BS 7671.
- Thermal indexing & trending – For building and envelope inspections, SnapCor uses thermal indexing to highlight abnormal heat loss and compares against historical inspections where available.
- Fault grading – Faults are automatically classified as Minor, Important, Serious, or Critical, with corresponding colour coding.
- Root cause & remedial suggestions – AI-assisted annotation proposes professional wording for root cause and recommended actions, based on your selected module and equipment type.
Instead of wrestling with spreadsheets and formulas, your role is now to validate SnapCor’s recommendations and adjust where needed – not to build everything from scratch.
Step 5 – Review Fault Pages On-Site with the Client
Every anomaly you record becomes a fault page – a structured unit of your report that’s easy to review on the tablet:
A typical SnapCor fault page (based on the TICOR/WebCor format) includes:
- Client, site, and component details
- Fault rating (Minor / Important / Serious / Critical)
- Thermal and visual images side by side
- Temperature data table (ambient, measured, delta T, load-corrected values)
- Anomaly description, suspected root cause, and remedial action
- Work order references and inspection metadata (thermographer, date, inspection number)
Because this is all generated in real time, you can:
- Walk through critical faults with the client while still in the switchroom.
- Confirm priority and next steps on the spot.
- Capture any additional notes they want included in the final PDF.
Step 6 – Generate a PDF Report Before You Leave Site
Once all assets are inspected and validated, report generation is literally the easy part:
- Tap Generate Report in SnapCor.
- The app compiles all fault pages, summary tables, trending graphs, and photographic evidence into a fully formatted PDF.
- You can:
Under typical conditions, a ~50-image inspection can be converted into a complete, client-ready report in under 60 seconds on-device.
Step 7 – Sync to WebCor for Fleet-Level Insight
For teams running multi-site inspection programmes, the final step is to sync your SnapCor reports to WebCor:
- Upload all data to a central WebCor database via secure connection.
- Use dashboards to:
This is where SnapCor goes beyond “just reporting” and becomes a predictive maintenance tool, helping reliability and condition monitoring teams manage risk at scale.
A Day in the Life with SnapCor: What Changes for a Thermographer?
Here’s how your workflow feels once SnapCor is embedded:
- Before site:
- On site:
- Before leaving:
- Afterwards:
You move from “camera + laptop + Word” to “one field device + SnapCor”.
Best Practices to Get the Most from SnapCor
To maximise the benefits of on-site reporting:
- Standardise templates
- Capture both IR and visual images every time
- Always log load conditions
- Use SnapCor’s knowledge-based library
- Review critical faults with the client before you leave
- Sync regularly to WebCor
Ready to Deliver Reports On-Site with SnapCor?
SnapCor is built for thermography professionals who already know what good looks like – it simply removes the admin burden between camera and client.
