Solution Spotlight: Streamlining Office and Field Data Flows

A tunnelling contractor in Norway has recently enhanced their data capture and office processing productivity by leveraging Wi-Fi within the tunnel to transfer survey and tunnel design data to and from the job site.

Amberg Navigator Cloud Sync enables tunnelling crews to transfer survey measurements directly from the Amberg Navigator Tablet to the office without the need to leave the tunnel. This results in significant time savings and a simplified data transfer process. Once the tunnelling crew completes their surveying tasks and synchronises the measurements, office personnel can synchronise the Amberg Tunnel project to receive all the latest survey measurements. Measurements, such as high-resolution point clouds, measured profiles, and stakeout points, are automatically imported into the relevant construction stages of the Amberg Tunnel project. This eliminates the need for manual data handling and minimises the risk of human error.

An essential aspect of streamlined data flow between the tunnel and the office is bi-directional data transfer. Amberg Navigator supports this by ensuring all relevant design changes and the latest control points are available on the tablet. Furthermore, the Amberg Navigator tasks predefined in the office remain in sync with the tablet. This bi-directional data transfer occurs automatically every time the project is synchronised.

Thanks to Wi-Fi data transfer, the tunnelling contractor reports that the tablets almost never leave the tunnel. As office users no longer need to manually retrieve the latest survey data, they can devote more time to critical tasks such as data processing, analysis, and reporting.

Amberg Navigator Cloud Sync is licensed for use on both tablet and office software, providing tailored flexibility to match your specific device configuration, including the number and types of tablets and office software licences you have. For those with the Amberg Navigator All-Tasks Flex licence, cloud sync functionality is seamlessly integrated, enhancing your workflow without additional tablet licence costs. Importantly, the Cloud Sync solution can be utilised either independently or in conjunction with Amberg Tunnel Remote Project, the cloud-hosted project solution that facilitates collaboration by allowing multiple desktop software users to connect to and work together on projects stored in the cloud.
