Adapx Releases Capturx Mobile Software
January 28, 2010Adapx announced the availability of Capturx Mobile, enabling mobile workers to instantly send and share data collected on paper using Capturx digital pens with Bluetooth-enabled BlackBerry and Windows Mobile devices. Central teams can now get immediate access to field data without requiring workers to bring mobile computers, applications, or source files into the field. Mobile workers simply collect data on standard paper forms, notebooks, or maps and then Capturx instantly sends and automatically integrates handwritten data into Microsoft Office, SharePoint, or ArcGIS.
"We've been using Capturx for two years and we're looking forward to the addition of Capturx Mobile. From wildfires to the latest damage caused by last week's heavy rains, we can now use Capturx to help us manage data about fast changing situations," said Captain Michael Hoose, 15-year veteran of the Santa Barbara City Fire Department.
According to the announcement, teams fill out paper forms or update asset data on paper maps using field-ready digital pens. Copies of the forms and GIS updates are instantly sent through cell phones to central offices, where they are automatically integrated into ArcGIS or Microsoft Office. Central teams get immediate visibility to field conditions without requiring field teams to deploy mobile computers or custom applications. With instant copies of the original handwriting, teams dramatically reduce the compliance risks of missing documents. With the converted digital data, they can also easily trigger workflows or integrate data into other back-end field service and asset management systems.
Availability Capturx Mobile for BlackBerry is available today and Capturx Mobile for Windows Mobile will be available in February, Adapx reported.
