USING AN IPAD TO CONNECT THE FIELD TO VULCAN
July 2013
It adds a new level of communication and integration between shop and field
It allows us to explore new dynamic workflows
It provides advancements to Vulcan
It’s the starting point that will initiate the need for more mobile solutions
Trimble Field Fitting Input
Why is it important to produce field solutions such as Trimble Field Fitting Input?
Trimble Field Fitting Input
Why mobile solutions need to be part your company’s road map.
To help attract young people to the HVAC trade
“There’s got to be an app for that” mentality
We have a whole generation of young people that will be looking for mobile technology to provide solutions
DATA WORKFLOW
The new Vulcan Mobile Shop Data is sent via secure e-mail transfer to the app user with shop data that can be specifically tailored for the individual app user
Work Flow From Vulcan To Trimble Field Fitting Input
This new functionality allows the Vulcan office solution to control, and manage, the user experience on the app
E-Mail fitting data
back to the shop
Enter Fitting Data Into TFFI Getting connected
is easy with an iPad®. Use free Wi-Fi hot spots
If you want to be able to connect anytime without a Wi-Fi hot spot choose an iPad® with cellular data capability
Work Flow From Trimble Field Fitting Input Back To Vulcan
TRIMBLE FIELD FITTING INPUT OVERVIEW
By using Trimble’s Field Fitting Input app, field personnel can reduce or eliminate errors resulting from hand drawings.
Trimble Field Fitting Input
Increases the speed in which data is sent in from the field
Trimble Field Fitting Input uses the same intuitive and proven fitting input screens as our CAM software now on an equally intuitive input device, the Apple® iPad®
Trimble Field Fitting Input
Using a proven and familiar input method greatly reduces the time transitioning from traditional hand drawing to a digital format
Trimble Field Fitting InputUtilizing proven Vulcan functionality such as: Commonly used offsets Fitting defaults Scopes
Easily selectable Scoping provides valuable information such as Drawing, Floor & System that would normally be absent on a traditional hand drawing
Entering Instructions can aid field crews during the installation process
The utilization of Scopes & Instructions printed on each CAM label can increase productivity from delivery to installation
Trimble Field Fitting Input
The ability to see the dimensional data entered in a 3-D rotational preview takes all the guess work out of whether you’re getting what was entered
Preview sets our product apart from any other HVAC app on the market
Trimble Field Fitting Input
Choose from the comprehensive library of fittings from residential to the largest industrial applications
The combination of graphical icons and dimensions data together allows users to quickly see if all fittings have been entered
Trimble Field Fitting Input
Getting the data back to the shop is as easy as pressing the e-mail button
An e-mail window is opened with the project and job information filled in
The fitting data is attached with the unique signature file
All the user needs to do is pick or enter an e-mail address and press send.
Trimble Field Fitting Input
Shop Input With TFFI, fittings are only entered one time,
eliminating the chance of human error when entering dimensional data from the field
TFFI greatly reduces the amount of time shop and field personnel spend each day working through interpretation issues created when drawing by hand
Trimble Field Fitting Input
All field personnel draw differently making interpretation very difficult
Shop Input
Field drawings are often sent in with missing fitting dimensions
Drawings are received on- Cardboard - Sheetrock - 2 X 4 or Plywood - Scrap Paper
TFFI eliminates the finger pointing between the shop and field and makes the shop and field more productive.
