Latest Release of Smallworld Field Information System

GE Energy (GA, USA) has announced the latest release of its Smallworld Field Information System product. This latest addition to the Smallworld 4 product suite provides increased access to spatial data across the organisation, and introduces integration with GPS technology.

The integration with GPS receivers allows field crews to automatically update the map view dependent upon the current GPS position, as well as capture the location of assets in the field. This latest release is adaptable to individual customer needs through the customisation and extensibility options. Customer specific applications for focused tasks such as asset inspection or leakage detection can be developed in addition to tailoring the user environment to suit the needs and abilities of the field crews.

With the Smallworld Field Information System application, mobile users can work in a detached mode in the field with the same data used by their office-based colleagues, allowing them to be more responsive, and enabling quicker and better informed decisions. Data can be verified, updated and collected in the field and then reconciled with the master repository via a quality assurance workflow to ensure system data integrity.
