Environmental sampling and analysis application: field data collection and inventory management
A single desktop and mobile application for field researchers that combines inventory management, GPS records of collected items, permissions and roles, expedition planning and report generation. It was originally built to combat illegal logging by collecting information from forests around the world.
The problem
Field Researchers are responsible for collecting and compiling large bodies of multi-dimensional data sets. To effectively accomplish these tasks, researchers often rely on multiple systems. These systems can have integration issues, if integration capability exists. There is a need for a single system that can efficiently perform data collection and management tasks.
The solution
Researchers at the University of Tennessee have developed an application that was originally designed to combat illegal logging by collecting information from forests around the world. However, this technology can be utilized for various data collection applications. Capabilities of the application include: an inventory management system, GPS records of collected items, permission and roles systems, expedition planning, and report generation.
Benefits
- Comprehensive system to plan collection expeditions
- GPS records of collected samples can be produced without Wi-Fi connection
- Extensive data searching and processing capabilities
