Abstract :
With the intention of supporting personnel in the field, this paper proposes a mobile application for data management and visualization. Taking advantage of modern mobile devices provides an inexpensive platform with built in sensors and power, providing field crews with important information regarding asset history, location and documentation while on the move. The use of such an application can also provide a platform for scheduling “real time” work requests and creating switching orders whilst in the vicinity of the asset, saving time and paper.
