"For the last 25 years GDD has been helping companies in the resource sector collect, manage and analyze their data. Today’s technology enables us to do this more quickly and effectively. Geologists traditionally carry a lot of different field equipment to explore, record observations and take samples. They make notes and drawings, record co-ordinates, take photos, videos, or perhaps audio recordings. Collating this data can be very time consuming, and geologists can spend up to 1-2 hours a day manually entering these different information types into the database. GDD’s Field Data Integrator does all this automatically by synchronizing information from the various devices to the tablet computer, which then uploads the data to the main Vectorwise database when in reach of a wireless signal. This means geologists can spend more time collecting samples, or analyzing the data, rather than being tied to the clerical work."
