Trimble Unity has announced the release of its AFC Mapper App, a free, standalone Web and mobile app that can run on the latest version of the Trimble® Unity software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution for managing critical water utility assets and field operations. The AFC Mapper App is designed to leverage technologies from Trimble, AMERICAN Flow Control (AFC) 2D barcodes and Esri to automate mapping and asset management of valves, hydrants and related water network assets, using Android- or IOS-based smartphones and tablets or Trimble handhelds.
Trimble Unity AFC Mapper App enables utilities to collect data in a single solution and bridge the gap between disparate information captured separately during construction, as-built mapping and on-going maintenance management of water infrastructure.
Using AFC Mapper, utility field personnel can scan and record AFC 2D barcodes that are attached to valves and hydrants using a smartphone’s or tablet’s internal camera. This information automatically populates preconfigured AFC hydrant and valve data collection forms with the AFC detailed manufacturing specifications for quick and simple data entry.
