Why is equipment data hard to use in the field?
Because most facilities tools were built for a desk, with mobile added later for technicians filing work orders. A facilities manager standing in front of an aging rooftop unit often cannot see its install date, service history or warranty status until they get back to the office. Decisions get deferred to later, when the context is gone.
How are asset records built?
From the video walk itself. Every RTU, panel and disconnect captured on a walk becomes an asset record with type, make, model, serial, location and condition, pulled from the video and nameplate photos. Each record links back to its footage.
HVAC and electrical first
Rooftop units, electrical panels and disconnects are counted, tagged and condition-checked.
Footage as proof
Every record links back to the video and nameplate photos that created it.
How does a facilities manager use the record on site?
By scanning a QR tag on the unit or opening the store map in the app. The record and its service history load on the phone, so the manager can make a call on repair or replacement at the unit. The app works offline and syncs when the signal returns.
How does this support vendors and planning?
Vendors and internal teams work from the same verified record. Work orders carry the asset context with them, and the web app shows which units across the portfolio keep failing or are due for replacement planning.
Does Robotic Imaging replace my CMMS?
No. It sits alongside your CMMS as the field and asset layer. Asset and service data can flow back to your system of record, so nothing gets typed twice.
