The Field Asset Data Capture Tool is an easy way for organisations to capture asset information and manage these assets effectively. It includes all the robust and proven tools designed for field use, with features such as long battery life, bright TabletPC screens and electronic forms created around the various types of assets.

The entire solution is extremely flexible to be adapted to gather other types of information including:

• Recording of physical asset and constituent infrastructure using cameras and GPS (Global Positioning System) receivers, identifying the exact location of defects, faults and areas of improvements
• Non-traditional uses including recording of questionnaires, feedbacks and surveys with integration to videos, comments and blogs online.
• Tracking of moving vehicles for purposes of work dispatch and customer service

The solution is equally adaptable for use with the latest technologies including wireless video cameras where it could it fixed to high rise cranes and mechanical arms to inspect assets in hard to reach places. Using the current GPS accuracy, assets can be located up to an accuracy of 0.5 meters with ease.

EC has the skills and technologies to further improve the data captured using this tool, by publishing it through EC many solutions tailored made for asset management using maps and graphs. EC map-driven asset management solutions have built-in capabilities to ensure ease of use with extensive control over actions such as inspection, planning, reports and data management requirements.
