In the high-stakes world of geotechnical and environmental drilling, waiting until you’re back in the office to digitize field notes is a recipe for errors and delays. WinLoG Field Assistant software, developed by GAEA Technologies, is the ultimate solution for engineers and geoscientists who need to create professional borehole logs directly from an Android tablet.
Why Go Digital in the Field?
WinLoG Field Assistant isn’t just a digital notebook; it’s a robust extension of your subsurface data management system. By using this mobile app, field teams can:
- Log Data Instantly: Record lithology, samples, and well construction details using an interface optimized for 10-inch tablets.
- Automate GPS & Elevation: Use the tablet’s internal GPS or Google elevation services to automatically assign coordinates to your boring locations.
- Sync with the Office: Send field data via FTP as Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) files, allowing the GaeaSynergy Network Data Manager to automatically merge it with your master database.
- Print on Site: Need a physical copy before leaving the site? Preview and print high-resolution logs directly from the tablet.
