AIMS.net: Hand held data collectors - Features

 

Structured survey process
The process of recording the survey is structured to guide the user from beginning to end. Input screens are designed to act as aide memoirs to ensure that surveyors consider all aspects of a building when completing a survey.

 

Easy to use input screens
Each screen is designed to be used easily on site. Maximum use is made of touch sensitive screens and drop down lists. This means that a survey can be recorded quickly and consistently.

 

Use of user-defined automated comments reduce the need for note taking on site and improve consistency between different surveyors.

 

Sample number generation and tracking
Where surveying and sampling take place at the same time the management of sample numbers can be very difficult especially where more than one surveyor is working on the same project. AIMS CE allocates sample numbers which are unique and imported directly to the main asbestos management system.

 

Full material and priority assessment system
A detailed material and priority assessment algorithm based on MDHS 100 is included. This allows risk assessments to be completed quickly during the survey.

 

Fully compatible with other AIMS products
The data recorders are designed to operate with any other Modus AIMS product. This allows data gathered during a survey to be uploaded instantly to the management system.

 

Complete building register
The building register contained within the main database can be downloaded to the hand held device to allow surveyors to enter information against rooms quickly and easily. Alternatively room identification numbers can be allocated during the survey.

 

Re-inspection management process
Where re-inspections are required details of the exact location of the hazard to be examined can be downloaded to the data recorder for use on site. All re-inspection details are recorded against the correct hazard.

 

Low cost hardware
Personal digital assistants have a lower purchase cost than traditional hand held data collectors.
