Solutions

Arnlea Systems deliver affordable mobile electronic solutions to enable smarter field operations, helping our customers :-

• Dramatically improve the integrity of asset-related data
• Streamline field service, manufacturing, inventory control & logistics operations
• Prove compliance with statutory legislation

Our proven SmartFieldOps™ solutions extend the reach of office-bound asset/maintenance management systems into the plant, yard, or shopfloor, by synchronising their databases to the realities in the field.

These SmartFieldOps™ solutions are designed for harsh and potentially hazardous environments where safety is paramount and ruggedness essential.
SmartFieldOps™ solutions provide the following capabilities to help you to manage your equipment & tools more efficiently:-

Electronic Collection of field data
Electronic Identification
Seamless integration with office-bound systems

Utilising the latest handheld computer and electronic identification technologies, up-to-date and accurate information is presented to the field personnel, guiding and assisting them during their field tasks. Eliminating the need for paper, collected field data is validated electronically, ensuring that accurate, time-stamped data is returned to the office-bound systems.

Electronic Identification

By electronically identifying your equipment & tools, SmartFieldOps™ solutions help you answer the following questions, instantly and with confidence:-

• What is this specific equipment?
• Where is it now?
• Has it been returned to our yard? If so, when?
• Is it available for re-use?
• When was it last maintained/inspected?
• Who did the work? How long did it take? Were they qualified?
• Does it need repair or re-certification? Who approved this work?
• Can I prove our compliance with statutory legislation to the Health & Safety inspector?

Gone are the days when your equipment could only be identified by a qualified engineer with the aid of a wire brush and some diesel to clean the id plate.

Complementary to Field Data Collection, SmartFieldOps™ enables fast & accurate identification of your individual equipment and tools using the latest electronic identification technology (barcodes, RFID tags, …) thereby ensuring the integrity and relevance of the data entered.

By attaching these electronic identifiers to major assets and linking these identifiers to the records held in your office-bound systems, simply reading the data contained on this identifier identifies it to the handheld computer, allowing automatic validation of any field data entered for the relevant asset, eliminating human error and ensuring accurate data is uploaded to the office-bound management systems.

With an enviable record in the supply of fit for purpose solutions worldwide to industry leaders, Arnlea have gained extensive experience in the attachment of these electronic identifiers to many different assets, ensuring a tried & trusted solution for your assets.

Arnlea also manufacture products and data collection tools to complement these technologies, such as our rugged Intrinsically Safe multi-protocol RFID tag reader.

Seamless Integration with office bound systems

To help you work smarter rather than harder, SmartFieldOps™ delivers the very latest information to the field personnel responsible for Field Service and Asset Management by seamlessly integrating with your office-bound asset/maintenance management systems.

And, SmartFieldOps™ already seamlessly integrates with the most popular management systems (such as SAP, Oracle, Immpower, …) in addition to home-grown databases.

Equipment specifications & history, maintenance work orders and calibration details, to name but a few, are automatically downloaded from your office-bound management system (or database) to rugged handheld computers carried by field personnel, guiding and assisting them when performing their field tasks by providing instant access to relevant information.

And you can rely on accurate, relevant & up-to-date information being returned to your office-bound systems to base your business decisions on, easing the continuous improvement process.

Field Data Collection

Do you still distribute paper sheets to your field personnel for handwritten "pen to paper" completion & then retype into your office-bound management systems?

Frustrated by the inefficiencies and inflexibility of this solution?

Want to Continuously Improve rather than always fighting fires?

Arnlea's SmartFieldOps™ helps customers replace these inefficient & error prone paper-based processes with an electronic solution that is simple to use, flexible and efficient.

Information is automatically downloaded from the office-bound systems to rugged, waterproof, Intrinsically Safe handheld WindowsCE computers, ensuring that authorised field personnel have the very latest information at their fingertips to guide and assist them whilst performing their tasks.
Field data is entered directly into these handheld computers where it is validated (eliminating human error) and time-stamped.
And, when the task is complete, this information is automatically transferred back to the office-bound systems.
