TRIMBLE FIELD FITTING INPUT OVERVIEW

By using Trimble’s Field Fitting Input app, field personnel can reduce or eliminate errors resulting from hand drawings.

Trimble Field Fitting Input

Increases the speed in which data is sent in from the field

 

Trimble Field Fitting Input uses the same intuitive and proven fitting input screens as our CAM software now on an equally intuitive input device, the Apple® iPad®

Trimble Field Fitting Input

Using a proven and familiar input method greatly reduces the time transitioning from traditional hand drawing to a digital format

Trimble Field Fitting InputUtilizing proven Vulcan functionality such as: Commonly used offsets Fitting defaults Scopes

Easily selectable Scoping provides valuable information such as Drawing, Floor & System that would normally be absent on a traditional hand drawing

Entering Instructions can aid field crews during the installation process

The utilization of Scopes & Instructions printed on each CAM label can increase productivity from delivery to installation

Trimble Field Fitting Input

The ability to see the dimensional data entered in a 3-D rotational preview takes all the guess work out of whether you’re getting what was entered

Preview sets our product apart from any other HVAC app on the market

Trimble Field Fitting Input

Choose from the comprehensive library of fittings from residential to the largest industrial applications

The combination of graphical icons and dimensions data together allows users to quickly see if all fittings have been entered

Trimble Field Fitting Input

Getting the data back to the shop is as easy as pressing the e-mail button

An e-mail window is opened with the project and job information filled in

The fitting data is attached with the unique signature file

All the user needs to do is pick or enter an e-mail address and press send.

Trimble Field Fitting Input

Shop Input With TFFI, fittings are only entered one time,

eliminating the chance of human error when entering dimensional data from the field

TFFI greatly reduces the amount of time shop and field personnel spend each day working through interpretation issues created when drawing by hand

Trimble Field Fitting Input

All field personnel draw differently making interpretation very difficult

Shop Input

Field drawings are often sent in with missing fitting dimensions

Drawings are received on- Cardboard - Sheetrock - 2 X 4 or Plywood - Scrap Paper

TFFI eliminates the finger pointing between the shop and field and makes the shop and field more productive.
