HNTB has chosen MobileFrame to deploy their facilities airport inspection application. Previously, HNTB’s inspectors were entering data onto Excel spreadsheets while in the field, then later go back to the office and manually enter the same data into their Access database. This was obviously very time-consuming for the field workers and left a lot of room for human error. Allowing MobileFrame’s platform to automate this process has resulted in more efficient staff and has eliminated data entry errors. After seeing MobileFrame’s full-featured platform in action, HNTB was confident that it would meet their needs. With MobileFrame, HNTB will be able to utilize the latest mobility technologies to implement a full-featured mobile airport inspection application that easily integrates with their existing ACCESS backend system.

General Electric has chosen MobileFrame to automate their fire extinguisher and water valve inspections.  Prior to adopting MobileFrame’s platform, GE’s inspectors collected data on paper and manually re-entered the results into their Access Database.  GE realized that it had become necessary to adopt a robust mobility solution to make these inspections more efficient.  After thoroughly evaluating several point solutions, GE recognized that they needed a more comprehensive solution with a complete set of mobility tools. With MobileFrame, General Electric will be able to utilize the latest mobility technologies to implement full-featured inspection mobile applications that closely integrates with their existing backend systems.

I had an awesome discussion today with a potential client that is interested in converting his current paper based inspection process into electronic format.   He was very enthusiastic about the prospect of getting rid of the mountain of paper in his office.  His enthusiasm got me thinking about not only the benefits of eliminating paper but ALSO the benefits of embedded business logic.   For example:  if an inspection failed he could require that his inspectors collect information about why it failed, capture  a picture of the damage or issue, maybe even record a voice note and associate it with the inspection.
