What is GSI PocketCollector?
GSI PocketCollector is software for capturing the location and attribution for new and existing overhead or underground utility facilities in the field. Key features of the software include:
Support for features and attributes at each facility similar to a GIS, including field definitions and joins
Available plug-ins to Smallworld GIS and ESRI ArcGIS to pull data out of and return data to the GIS
Integrated GPS and laser support; GPS post-processing differential correction
What problem is solved?
One size does not fit all when it comes to field solutions. Many work processes require the field worker to gather information where the work is being performed - in the trench - rather than just transcribing notes back in the truck. This work includes updating as-built facility data for GIS, designing new or existing facilities, performing walking inspections, relocating UG facilities covered by snow or earth, and capturing GPS locations of equipment. Managing network data "in the trench" streamlines business processes by: Controlling rising costs to validate and maintain critical asset information Leveraging GPS technology for precision facility locations with simple, hand-held devices Reducing material costs through an optimized design Eliminating redundancy and errors related to communicating asset details from the field
