GIS maps always at hand
The robust Getac F110 tablet is the linchpin for surveying work at Stadtwerke Walldürn. During on-call duty, it supports important network operations with the mobile GIS application MGC.
Challenge
The on-call services of Stadtwerke Walldürn guarantee a secure 24/7 supply of electricity, gas, and water. For this, the technical field service needs mobile maps of the network infrastructure, available at all times, in every vehicle, for network operations. In case of damage, technicians should be able to quickly get an overview of the situation and assess whether services from other sectors are also located in the affected area.
Solution
For a good 25 years, Stadtwerke Walldürn 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 rugged technology and video solutions. Smallworld GIS delivers daily updated network and operating asset data to MGC, its mobile, map-based application. With the introduction of Getac's rugged F110 tablets, GIS maps are now also available offline at all times, making them independent of mobile network coverage or WLAN services. Reliable data availability together with a robust device is crucial for surveying or necessary excavations – especially under adverse conditions.
Advantages
The fully rugged Getac tablets, together with the Mettenmeier MGC GIS application, thus not only ensure independent data access but also greater safety and reliable network data – in all weather conditions and even after shocks and falls. The 11.6-inch display of the F110 tablets offers ample space for geographic applications and is perfectly legible even in direct sunlight thanks to automatic brightness control and anti-glare. Total station operation and Trimble Access also offer maximum comfort and professionalism.
