GIS/Data ManagementSoftware Development |
||
Aquionix works with its clients to assess specific needs and then integrated those needs into functional, easy-to-use computer applications that permit collection, management and reporting of data. Many of our applications include the ability to capture Global Positioning System (GPS) data, which provides extensive mapping and reporting capabilities. Aquionix is sensitive to client requirements during this step and works closely with them to assess functionality of software to assure expectations are met. Data CollectionAs part of the software development phase, Aquionix works closely with clients to develop custom forms that permit the collection of field data using pocket PCs or computer workstations. For example, a GPS enabled pocket PC may be used to map storm water drainages and discharge points. This locational information is then stored in a GIS database such that it may be used for future storm water map updates or included on inspection forms such that field technicians are provided with a map and directions to individual sites. Another pocket PC-based application automatically provides a list of nearby SPCC tanks that the operator may then select from to obtain tank-specific information or perform an SPCC inspection on. Once the inspection is completed on the handheld device, observations made, along with any needed corrective actions, are automatically uploaded into a central database so they may be tracked as complete or emails may be sent to individuals notifying them of needed corrective actions. Data TransferWired or wireless transfer software on pocket PCs and desktop PCs establishes the communication link required to transfer field data collected on pocket PCs to a dedicated desktop PC or server.
