Robust tablet Getac F110 in use at the Walldürn municipal utilities

GIS maps always at hand

The robust Getac F110 tablet is the linchpin of surveying work at the Walldürn municipal utility. When on standby, it supports important operations on the network with the mobile GIS application MGC .

Challenge

The Walldürn municipal utility's on-call services guarantee a secure supply of electricity, gas and water around the clock. This requires the technical field service to have mobile maps of the network infrastructure available at any time and in any vehicle when working on the network. In the event of damage, the technicians can use this to quickly gain an overview of the situation and assess whether services from other sectors are also in the affected area.

Solution

For over 25 years, the Walldürn municipal utility has been maintaining network documentation data in the Smallworld GIS applications of the IT service and consulting company Mettenmeier, a long-standing platinum partner of Getac, a world-leading provider of robust technology and video solutions. Smallworld GIS supplies daily updated network and resource data to MGC, its mobile, map-based application. With the introduction of the rugged F110 tablets from Getac, the GIS maps are also available offline at any time and are therefore independent of mobile phone coverage or WLAN services. Reliable data availability together with robust equipment is central to surveying or necessary excavations - especially under adverse conditions.

Advantages

The fully robust Getac tablets together with the Mettenmeier MGC GIS application not only ensure independent data access, but also greater security and reliable network data - in all weather conditions and even after shocks and falls. The 11.6-inch display of the F110 tablets offers enough space for geographical applications and is easily readable even in direct sunlight thanks to automatic brightness control and anti-reflective coating; total station operation and Trimble Access also offer the highest level of comfort and professionalism.
