Title: Capture certain data at outside physical locations
Post by: soaringeagle on June 08, 2013, 09:54:54 PM

need to capture details of person (work start-finish), equipment (hours used), (materials used), location (gps!?), result (picture of end result each day/end of job - by digital camera!?) and date/time of jobs carried out   Think, as an example,  of a team pouring concrete for a new highway.  Would like to receive all information digitally/wirelessly, preferably all  data together, preferably in real time.  How to capture all this data?   Jobs are based on a roster. Six such crews per day, every day.  Some jobs take more than one day. Are there solutions on the market? Create a new system? Help and advice appreciated.

Do you want some video capture of work being done, or are still photos sufficient?  Since cameras in cell/smart phones are very common now, their use seems to fit into your requirements.  Beyond that, I'm not sure what to suggest.  Hopefully, some other members will have additional input on this.
