• PileProt information systems
• No paperwork, everything is stored digitally
• Data and information is entered only once which
  leads to consistent and correct data
• No need to send papers from site to office. Data
  is sent through the GSM-network
• Data from all projects are stored in a central
  database which is accessed through the Internet

• Durable and rugged PDA1 made for tough enviroment
  (Symbol SPT1800, PalmOS 3.5)
• Equiped with a barcodescanner for fast,
  convienient and correct data collection
• Data transfer to the office through the
  GSM-network

How does it work?
Synchronisation of data
1. Data about the project is inserted
2. Calls up and retrieve the information
3. Data is collected
4. Calls up and exchange data
5. The protocol can be edited and printed through
a web-browser.

How does it work?

• Only one project at a time in the PDA
• Changing from one project to another means that
  all information in the PDA is sent to the server.
  The information in the PDA is then deleted and
  finally the data for the new project is sent to
  the PDA.
• All projects are stored in the office server.
• Possible to let two or more rigs (PDAs) be on the
  same site and still have access to the same
  information. This is possible through advanced
  synchronisational logics.

7
How does it work?

• Possible to add all piles in the database prior
  to commencement of the project. If this is done
  the field crew will get information regarding
  cut-off levels, type of pile to be installed for
  any given pile number.
• Easy to edit cut-off levels, effective lengths
  and other pile info through MSExcel and a file
  up-load feature.
