CartoPac 2.5 streamlines enterprise-level field data collection with improved vector & raster engines, therefore giving the ability to access large datasets for managing extensive infrastructures

Fort Collins, Colo. – <September 4, 2008> – CartoPac Field Solutions, powered by Spatial Data Technologies (http://www.cartopac.com), today announced the release of CartoPac 2.5, an enhanced edition of the company’s flagship suite of CartoPac mobile asset management solutions.

CartoPac 2.5 includes both a high-speed raster engine and an improved vector engine. The vector engine is able to handle significantly larger datasets for managing extensive infrastructures, while the raster engine allows the display of multi-gigabyte imagery layers that upload seamlessly, without interruption to the image on the screen. These new features enable field workers to download large datasets and gather extensive field data easily and with minimal impact on performance.

With the most powerful memory on the market, Cartopac 2.5 also enables spatial queries and other powerful controls for more efficient data collection. Additional CartoPac 2.5 features include laser range finder controls to collect height, line and area data, as well as the capability for automatic or one-click post-processing.

The CartoPac suite of technologies supports industry specific relational database models that are specific to your data collection needs. CartoPac’s customized solutions, which include hardware, software, service and training, simplify every aspect of mobile asset management, from data capture to post-processing to project management. Additionally, intelligent forms based on a customized office-to-field relational database structure support natural field workflow and enforce data integrity.

Using the CartoPac Field Server, workers in remote areas can access and submit information to the Enterprise Database from the field using an Internet connection. The CartoPac 2.5 is an extension of the Field Server which allows for greater work crew flexibility, eliminates paper forms and automates post processing; this guarantees a faster return on investment.

“Our focus has always been on helping field workers collect data for critical assets and share that data with workers back in the office quickly and easily,” said Glenn Vlass, president of CartoPac Field Solutions. “The feedback that we are receiving from our customers – some of the largest oil and gas companies in the country – is that they need a way to work with even larger amounts of data, images and maps in the field on a mobile device. CartoPac 2.5 leads the industry by making it easy for field crews to work with very large amounts of data on a handheld computer.”

Attendees at the GITA’s 17th annual GIS for Oil and Gas Conference in Houston September 21-24 can visit the CartoPac booth, #309, to see product demonstrations, ask questions and learn more about the company’s mobile mapping and data collection solutions. CartoPac will also present this latest technology at 1:50pm on the 24th as part of the GITA Solutions Spotlight.
