Oil, gas, and chemicals
A refinery operator may need inspection instructions at a piece of equipment. A chemical plant technician may need to record observations during a round. Mobile access can support both tasks when the device configuration is appropriate for the particular area.
Utilities and emergency services
Field teams use mobile communication to coordinate work, access site information, and document conditions. Emergency-response and utility environments vary considerably. Equipment selection starts with the operating conditions and classification of each work area.
Manufacturing, aerospace, and natural resources
A maintenance team may use an iPhone to consult a record, capture an observation, or communicate with a colleague. Aerospace, heavy manufacturing, and resource operations each have their own deployment constraints. Recording the precise task helps narrow the list of suitable devices.
Plan the rollout
Specify the phone generation, required applications, connectivity, installation process, and approved work areas. Review the manufacturer’s documentation and site requirements together before choosing a configuration.
