 The Trimble® Yuma™ rugged tablet computer, with integrated GPS and cameras, is a great fit for vegetation management.
The above chart demonstrates how our team and software impact cycle length, leading to a corresponding decrease in the workload per cycle.
Control costs and improve productivity of tree contractors. |
GeoSpatial Innovations and ACRT Inc. have joined forces to create the industry’s premium mobile solution/software product for assessing, inspecting and auditing vegetation for utilities. When engaged, our solution identifies vegetation problems, makes specific recommendations for vegetation removal, and creates work manifests for tree removal/trimming crews. The result is a streamlined process which eliminates excess vegetation removal labor and expense.
- Our team of highly trained arborists quickly, cost-effectively and accurately determine the impact of vegetation on your circuits, and suggest the most efficient course of action for ongoing management.
- Skilled arborists walk your system prior to the tree removal cycle. By using hand-held computers with GPS and laser rangefinders, they record the location, species, condition, and growth rate of vegetation and line clearance requirements. Trees and shrubs are located and tagged for removal or trimming based on their unique re-growth rates.
- Property owners are notified by assessors to eliminate problems.
- Data collected by our teams is easily integrated into a back-office GIS and is used to create detailed work plans for contract tree-trimming crews. Cost estimates are also generated by the system, giving you negotiating leverage when dealing with tree removal contractors.
- Reports are generated and define the processes needed to ensure that vegetation re-growth won’t be a problem before the next trimming cycle. Reports have maximum effectiveness and efficiency as their goal, not the generation of on-going revenue for tree trimming crews.
- A post-audit function can be implemented after trimming contractors have completed their work. The post-audit verifies that the work was done properly.
- All data is stored digitally. Web access is a click away.
