Real-Time Field Reporting Using Smart Devices (Phase 2)

This project looks at real-time field reporting using smart devices such as iPads, Android Tablets, smart phones, tablet pc's and Golden-I. The field trials for this project involve diverse construction project types, including industrial, horizontal, and vertical projects in both the U.S. and the UK, utilizing smart devices and emerging technologies.

Benefits

In today's world, computers are available at the jobsite office. One area of improvement is field reporting via computers at the project site. By making the information available in the field, decisions can be immediate and field reporting will be more accurate.

Opportunities/Status

The field trials have concluded and the final report is being prepared. No further participation is needed at this time. If you are interested in participating in the next phase of the project, looking at real-time software for smart devices, please contact the project manager or technical leads.
