Farallon GIS and Location Technology Feature Case Study

Featured Case Study:
Mobile Data Collection Application using Android

A Bay Area city needed a comprehensive and accurate storm drain geodatabase and geometric network to support their stormwater infrastructure planning, operations, and maintenance. They wanted it efficient for field crew data collection of 12000+ storm drain features, and real-time trackable by office managers.

Farallon developed an Android-based workflow-driven mobile data collection application to streamline the process of data collection and synchronize with the City's central database in both network connected (3G or Wi-Fi) and disconnected environments. Managers in the office track real-time progress using a simple Google Earth interface.
