Post Landing Inspection

Containers cleared, seals broken, ownership about to change hands—yet hidden transit damage, humidity spikes, or a missing met mark can derail the entire compliance partnership you built with buyers in the United States, Canada, or any other major American market. Quality Calibration Solutions (QCS) delivers a rigorous post landing inspection program that unites ISO 2859-1 sampling, nondestructive testing (NDT), and real-time digital field services. Our certified inspectors, many trained by Ocean Corporation and MET Labs, deploy drones, remotely operated vehicles, and time-of-flight ultrasonic scanners to verify product safety, regulatory certification status, and electrical safety standards—all before freight leaves the port gate.

 
 

 

 

Why Post-Landing Inspection Matters

Every year, thousands of consignments arrive with cracked rail-line brackets, warped wind turbine nacelle covers, or corroded subsea valve kits meant for nuclear power plants, conventional power plants, and critical national infrastructure. Once a shipment is signed off, warranty exposure explodes—especially for electrical products, aerospace-grade fasteners, or unpainted smoke stacks destined for heavy-duty construction. Misplaced confidence in portside condition can violate federal requirements, OSHA rules, or foreign safety regulations, prompting costly re-export orders.

A disciplined PLI program delivers a triple shield:

 
 

 

 

Preventive

Confirms that customs paperwork, listing data, and adequate marking meet every clause of NEC, IEC, or CSA codes while ensuring cartons and skids are routed to code-compliant installations in different environments—from desert solar farms to Arctic wind arrays.

Detective

Uses ultrasound, ultrasonic NDT inspection, high-resolution drones, and handheld FTIR to isolate micro-cracks in turbine blades, loose line terminations in switchgear, or missing CE marks on electronics slated for EU distribution. NDT inspectors compare findings against our cloud archive of years of defect patterns, flagging repeat offenders for supplier escalation.

Corrective

Issues sequential inspection reports, geotags defects on a live map, and launches CAPA tasks so your next step is always data-driven. Port stevedores, freight forwarders, and OEMs receive instant notifications, preserving chain-of-custody and maintaining trustworthy certifications.

By closing the risk gap between quay and customer, PLI shortens cash-cycle, safeguards brand equity, and meets the twin imperatives of product integrity and worker safety.

 
 

 

 

Key Elements of Our PLI Service

1. Document & Seal Verification

Audits bills of lading, validates seal number, cross-checks regulatory certification logs, and matches PO details for electrical inspection, NRTL field evaluation, and product safety attestations issued by Eurofins, MET, or other accredited laboratories.

2. Unloading & Quantity Check

On-site field technicians tally cartons, crates, and common equipment; mismatches trigger an instant quote for remedial freight insurance or replacement parts before inland transport begins.

3. Visual Condition Survey

4 K cameras and agile drones orbit tower sections, wind turbine blades, or modular substations; colour-coded tags guide NDT inspectors to hotspots requiring deeper evaluation.

4. NDT & Functional Testing

Time-of-flight, phased-array ultrasound, eddy-current, and radiographic nondestructive testing confirm weld integrity on rail line tie-plates, aerospace industry castings, and subsea flanges. Portable thermal imagers profile overload hotspots in switchboards.

5. Electrical & Safety Confirmation

Certified electrical inspectors verify breaker trip curves, insulation resistance, and electrical safety labels; field evaluations validate electrical safety standards on portable gensets, EV chargers, and HV modules, ensuring readiness for code-compliant installations in the occupational safety and health arena.

6. Laboratory & Polymer Analytics

Port-side labs run FTIR and DSC on composite fairings, quantify UV-driven wind energy degradation, and benchmark molecular-weight distribution data to reference curves—guarding against brittle failure during farm erection.

7. Packaging Retrieval & Reverse Logistics

Tracks returnable racks across remote farms, offshore pads, and turbine staging yards; optimizes back-haul logistics to curb empty-mile costs and reduce line congestion at marshalling yards.

8. Shareable Digital PLI Report

Encrypted PDF with layered field evaluations, OSHA citations, and Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory references. Includes live field evaluation contact links and a one-click e-sign workflow—delivered within 12 hours, often today.

Our Digital Interface—One Single Window, Zero Hassle

Inspectors, freight agents, and OEM engineers access the same browser-based single interface. Real-time dashboards plot defects on a live map, merge NDT requirements with custom regulations, and let executives request a new quote or parts shipment without toggling tabs. Conditional filters group assets by industry tag—aerospace, wind energy, subsea—while AI auto-populates repetitive “model model model” entries, reducing keystrokes and clerical error. A built-in training widget delivers refresher modules, supporting career progression for junior technicians and ensuring workforce competence keeps pace with evolving codes.

Value-Added Features & Following Tips

  • KPI heat maps rank trade lanes by damage ratio, letting supply-chain teams reroute cargo around high-risk ports or severe wind corridors.
  • A “next-step” wizard applies NEBOSH and occupational safety and health administration (OSHA) heuristics to schedule maintenance before assets roll into revenue service.
  • AI cross-references long-standing affiliations with laboratories to shorten retest cycles, reflecting our great pride in data integrity.
  • Pro-tips banners push NDT inspectors to update calibration blocks and gauge settings, preventing drift across different environments (desert, offshore, tundra).

Regulatory Alignment & Compliance

Every PLI action is mapped to federal requirements, IEC 61439, ASME IX, NFPA 70E, and the latest safety regulations governing electrical products, pressure vessels, and transport frames. Our audit path references OSHA 1910 Subpart S, CE mark directives, and regional CSA Z662 clauses. Document packs cite nationally recognized testing laboratory bulletins, confirm field evaluations for each unlisted product, and embed blockchain hashes for unforgeable provenance.

 
 

 

Long-Term Gains

Return-rate analytics show a 68 % drop in post-delivery defect claims for clients deploying our integrated PDI → PLI workflow, preserving cash across thousands of SKUs—everything from jet-engine blisks to modular switch-gear. Early identification of corrosion cells on delivery foundations extends asset life at offshore wind farms and inland rail-line yards. Seamless dealer release contracts shrink LC holds from days to hours, while trend dashboards inform CAPEX models for power-plants and aerospace industry primes.
