AIMS.net: Hand held data collectors - Benefits

 

Complete surveys quickly and accurately
The survey screens are designed with drop down lists which are driven by touch sensitive screens. This means that the screens are familiar to almost every PC user.

Additionally the screens are designed to guide the surveyor though the surveying process and act as an aide memoir to ensure that nothing has been overlooked.

 

Upload survey information instantly
Survey information can be uploaded to the management system without any delay and no need for manual input. By removing the human element the possibility of errors during the data transfer process is eliminated.

 

Manage sample identification effectively
Where sampling is carried out at the same time as surveying it is difficult to allocate sample numbers accurately especially where more than one surveyor is working on a building. AIMS CE allocates unique sample numbers automatically regardless of how many surveyors are involved in a project.

 

Reduce costs
By removing the need for manual transfer of data from survey sheets to the management system many hundreds of man hours can be saved. Additionally the time devoted to survey preparation and report production is reduced dramatically.

 

We can prove that AIMS CE can improve the productivity of surveyors with no adverse impact on the accuracy of a survey.

 

Trap errors and omissions quickly
Where a surveyor may be surveying hundreds of rooms in a day it is easy to see where mistakes can be made. A missed check box on a survey sheet can cause hours of additional work if the mistake isn't noticed until back in the office. AIMS CE ensures that all parts of the survey have been completed before the surveyor can move to the next part of the survey.
