ProCP Data Loggers

ProCP Dig Inspector


BlueParrot Headset

Dragon Naturally Speaking

At last, a hand-held data logger solution for the information-intensive task of gathering data at a pipeline excavation. We bundle together a rugged PocketPC with full keyboard, a ruggedized 8 MegaPixel digital camera with bluetooth (the Ricoh 500SE), MCM’s own Bluetooth Digital Voltmeter (BTDVM), a GPS adapter, a noise reducing headset and Nuance’s Dragon Naturally Speaking speech-to-text software to dramatically ease the data gathering process at the excavation site. We build this data logger software to order; adapting the program to your own internal procedures and criteria.

Key features and Benefits
  • Compatible with ProActive – a very large upgrade to the capabilities of the Anomaly object in the database.
  • Tracks excavation location by both GPS and pipeline linear measurement.
  • Provides flexible data entry for Wall Thickness, Coating Thickness, Coating Defects, Corrosion, Stress Cracking and third-party damage observations.
  • Flexible audio note taking using wind/highway noise-reducing headset. Recordings can be transcribed into text in ProActive and are also kept in the ProActive database for replay at a future time.
  • Compatible with Ricoh Caplio 500SE Bluetooth GPS Camera which takes excellent close-up shots of corrosion. Pictures can be previewed on the handheld screen before being saved to the database. The Intermec hand-held also has a low resolution camera which can be convenient when taking situational shots of the site. All photographs are tagged with their GPS coordinates, Dig Identifier and date/time.
  • Provides tracking for chemical and biological samples.
  • Data items for all the Pipe-to-Soil potentials, Soil Resistivity readings, Depth of Cover and pH taken at the site.
  • Tracks all remediation activities taken during the pipeline excavation.
