As the corner post of all our survey
modules, RTS Inside Plant has revolutionized the site survey process on
projects within any industry, nature or size. Equipped with a built in camera, compass,
audio recorder and pin point sketch/drafting capabilities, each survey
technician virtually has everything he or she would need to perform a survey at
the touch of their fingers. Photograph
documentation is now automatically labeled per photograph and our new and
improved built-in sketching capabilities allow you to draft specific
details of any closet, rack elevation or equipment outline.
Each survey question is
strategically positioned within the module interface maximizing user
friendliness. During the initial module
set up phase, the customer is able to dictate the answer selections for each
survey field. Meaning that each
technician will only be able to see and select the response option included in
the module. This in turn adds efficiency
when the final surveys are presented to the back office phase as there will be
limited interpretations of a concrete floor versus a cement floor or perhaps a
fiber optic patch panel (FOPP) versus a fiber optic distribution panel (FODP). All very minor time consuming set backs
during the back office quantification and interpretation phase, but simple cost
savings none the less.
RTS is also equipped with a
time and labor management feature. This
feature is automatically activated when the survey technician selects a new
record to begin the survey and is deactivated upon entering his or her physical
signature on the module interface at completion of the survey. This allows our customers to easily manage
and mitigate any resource requirements through daily or weekly reports. In addition, it provides hard data for a
“lessons learned” evaluation upon completion of the survey project.
One of the strongest cost
savings capabilities that RTS is able to offer is the transition of data from
the field to the back office, as well as the typical amount of time and energy
needed to interpret and transform the collected field data into a final
deliverable. In addition to the initial
interface module set up period is also a data deliverable set up. For example, when working a U.S. Air Force
(ITS-BITI) project, the survey deliverable would be formatted to return from
the field in a USAF Form 332 format with a certain number of digital images,
notated fiber counts and availability, infrastructure needs or modifications,
as well as annotation of scope based on certain requirements. Whereas, a deliverable for an U.S. Army, Core
AT&T, Wireless or DAS project would be customized in a completely different
format. Of which each is a very simple
adjustment that is made during the initial set up collaboration effort prior to
mobilization of the survey team.
Utilizing an SSL Certificate
enabled with a 128-bit minimum encryption, survey data is then transmitted for
final deliverable compilation and easily manipulated with commercial off the
shelf software by your back office or ours.
