The JETT.eye provides construction management with a clearer vision into their operations than was previously possible.
Management now has eyes in the field.
The integrated camera can document job site progress and conditions.
A detailed photographic record of each stage of construction can be easily recorded and accessed.
This can be very valuable when discrepancies and issues arise.
Having the ability to image barcodes enables more efficient tracking of materials and tools.
Since it's easier to accurately record detailed tracking numbers by imaging the barcode, there is less room for human error and theft.
This increases the level of accountability and makes it possible to create more complex on-site inventory tracking systems.
"The JETT.eye was developed in response to requests from our customers for a high-performance hand-held mobile computer with digital photo capabilities that could be used under virtually any condition.
JETT.eye is our cost-effective solution that allows users to aim, shoot and share, capturing and relaying images and data from virtually any field location.
We see enormous potential for it in a number of industries," said Peter Cowley, sales director of Camdata, The product is built for quality digital imaging and data capture in the most demanding industrial and commercial environments: Its 5 MP (4 MP processed) digital camera is equipped with an ultra-bright LED light source for photography in low-light areas, a wide, sunlight-readable display for ease of viewing in all types of settings, and adjustable IR coated-glass optics crisp, clear images.
Laser diodes help image alignment and focussing:.
* Bar code imaging sensor, with a read distance of up to 8.25" and excellent depth-of-field, fully supports the industry's most widely used bar code standards.
* The unit's IP65 rating ensures that internal components are completely protected against dust and moisture.
The JETT.eye also incorporates Bluetooth and WLAN (802.11b) technology for real-time wireless connectivity with corporate networks and the Internet.
Additionally, it has RS-232 and USB ports for adding peripherals and accessories.
Other product features include 128 MB SDRAM and up 8 GB of data storage, allowing it to accommodate most onsite processing and storage needs.
We foresee a number of practical applications for JETT.eye in a range of vertical markets where visual information capturing, storing and sharing is success-critical, including the geo-informatics, manufacturing, transportation, surveying, agriculture, security, government, military, construction, medical, pharmaceutical, insurance, retail, and hospitality sectors.
