Pipeline Analytics Debuts WinCan ProTouch, Affordable Pipe Inspection Software Optimized for a Tablet PC
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania–Designed for touch-screen data entry on a tablet PC, new WinCan ProTouch has everything an operator needs to document pipe inspections made with a video crawler, push camera or zoom survey camera. It’s ideal for anyone who needs to assess the condition of collection system assets, but for whom the cost or field-portability of full-blown WinCan is an issue. Of course, ProTouch data is fully compatible with WinCan v8, which means an operator can always transfer the data to exploit v8’s enhanced reporting, querying, GIS features and standards support.
“ProTouch is ideal for plumbers and small municipalities, but it’s also the perfect platform for larger organizations whose field crews need a simple, portable data collection tool that feeds directly into WinCan v8,” says Mike Russin, Account Manager at Pipeline Analytics. “This way, data collection is streamlined, yet v8’s advanced analytics, reporting, and mapping capabilities remain available back at the office.”
ProTouch distills the most popular functionality of WinCan v8 into a simple touch-screen interface, one with all the tools necessary to document manhole, mainline and lateral inspections. ProTouch generates basic manhole-to-manhole reports that include schematics and captured images. It also can export inspections to freely distributable viewer software, so clients can review video alongside section detail.
Data captured by ProTouch uploads seamlessly to WinCan v8 for advanced reporting, filtering/querying, GIS integration, and standards compliance. (ProTouch supports standard defect catalogs.) ProTouch works with all common video inspection hardware, including video crawlers, push cameras, and zoom survey cameras. Using OSD technology, it can even recognize on-screen text, so in most cases no serial connection is needed to acquire distance data.
WinCan ProTouch is available immediately from Pipeline Analytics and its authorized resellers.
