Field Technicians and Inspectors
QEST Platform 5.1 Documentation
Applies to QESTField Tests, QESTField Forms
Articles in this section relate to processes and tasks that are carried out in the field by field operatives (technicians and inspectors).
Field Technicians and Inspectors can record field test data and inspections on mobile devices to be reviewed in real time, in the field or back in the laboratory. This is possible through QESTField Tests and Forms, two products which can be accessed via the web or a mobile app and integrate seamlessly with the QEST Platform.
QESTField Tests allows field technicians to enter field test data and register samples in the field. This can be done for common workflows such as Daily Field Inspections Reports, Sample Pickups, Asphalt Density Testing, Concrete Testing and Field Density Testing. A wide range of test methods, including ASTM, AASHTO, US State DoTs, Australian Standards, Australian State DoTs and New Zealand Standards are covered. Once data, samples and/or specimens have been registered and saved to a workflow, this data will be immediately available for review and approval in QEST Platform. QESTField Tests is an online only feature that does require an active internet connection such as a wifi or cellular connection to operate.
QESTField Forms allows for Inspectors to complete inspection forms while offline. These forms are created from individually configured templates using a fillable PDF's application to collect the information required by clients. QESTField Forms allows Inspectors to work offline once they have downloaded the specific inspection forms to their devices. Once the inspection forms have been completed offline and Inspectors reconnect to an internet connection, the inspection forms will automatically upload to QEST Platform. Inspection forms can be reviewed, signed and distributed from the device in the field or can be done in the laboratory through QEST Platform.
The connected mobility of QESTField Tests and Forms increases the field efficiency of recording test data, observations and the report review process, ensuring a faster turnaround time and higher quality deliverable for the client.
