THE INDUSTRY & COMPANY

Utility companies rely on precise measurements when it comes to infrastructure

Infrastructure is an exact science that is heavily reliant on location coordinates. For field engineers working in the Utilities sector, it is essential to have a highly precise and accurate GPS to properly locate the position for field maintenance, repair, or construction. If the GPS location can provide centimeter-level accuracy, helping engineers determine positioning before officially beginning their work, it can ensure optimal efficiency.

THE CHALLENGE & PAIN POINTS

Fieldwork projects suffer setbacks due to inaccurate GPS data

Collecting inaccurate location data can derail a Utilities project significantly, setting back important work when it comes to new construction or maintenance. Aside from falling short on accuracy and precision when it comes to GPS functionality, off-the-shelf devices have been known to have high failure rates in the field, meaning they are not reliable products that can withstand the processing load or environmental stressors they are exposed to. Because Utilities fieldwork is very rugged, this leads to more instances of the devices being sent to service centers for repairs, increasing costs, wasting time, and hampering overall efficiency.

THE TAILORED SOLUTION

Integrating an RTK GPS model into the ZX10 for peak accuracy

In this specific scenario, the client was seeking a more precise RTK GPS that could also work under an Android operating system. Getac was willing to customize an existing solution, the ZX10, to exactly meet the customer’s technical requirements. The GPS board was customized to support the RTK GPS. ​Unlike traditional GPS, which only relies on satellite data, RTK GPS systems use additional data from a nearby base station to improve the accuracy. Taking the thickness of the tablet into account as well, an antenna was fitted, to keep within the specific 5cm margin of error allotted for the engineers.

THE RESULTS & BENEFITS

Achieving the level of location precision required by field engineers

Getac was able to customize a solution to not only meet the client’s technical requirements but also address key improvements based on existing standard products that have fallen short in the past. By adding an antenna and RTK GPS to the ZX10, the utility company was able to procure a generally durable and high-quality solution for fieldwork, while also achieving the level of data precision needed to do infrastructure construction, maintenance, and repair in the most efficient manner possible.

Here’s what our customers have to say:

"Our field crews have most definitely put these devices to the test. From dirty and damp working conditions to tossing the unit around on the job, we have pushed our devices to their limit over the last eight years and, all I can say is, Getac delivers on their product.” - John Sanchez
Water Distribution Superintendent, San Gabriel Valley Water Company
“We have been working with Getac notebooks for over five years, and one aspect we consider most important is the brand's reliability. Despite intensive daily use, we have not encountered any failures or breakdowns in recent years. This has allowed us to provide continuity of service to our customers. For us, customer satisfaction is a top priority. Reducing the processing time means offering an excellent tailored service, which saves on invoice costs; a not insignificant aspect that builds customer loyalty.” - Igor Boldrini
Head Technician of Truck Training Centre Italy
“Implementing the UX10 has taken a complex part of our solution and made it much simpler. The controller interface is now COTS across the board, making it easy to build and maintain, while offering both signifi cant cost savings and increased reliability in the long run.” - Padraig O’Connor
Managing Director of Reamda
“Without the Getac K120, our speed and precision in production and warehouse would hardly be feasible. With Getac's tablets, we can take our already highly digitalized processes to a new and even higher level.” - Florian Sietzy
Managing Director of the Sietzy Group
”With the help of Getac‘s rugged tablet PCs and Leica‘s total stations and GPS systems, quality, cost efficiency and data security can potentially be significantly improved for us as a customer.“ - TOBIAS HAG-SEN
Head of Network Documentation at NBB
