Wireless Gauging Frequently Asked Questions

Why wireless gaging?

Cables slow the speed and efficiency of data acquisition. Cables limit the user, clutter work areas and create hazards. Cables can be damaged when pulled, dragged or crushed... yet still continue to "work," while causing erratic errors difficult to pinpoint. Some users have not been able to utilize data capture because cables were not practical. MobileCollect solutions provide the flexibility to conveniently capture gauge readings while eliminating errors caused by manual data recording. Wireless data collection can pay for itself in a very short period of time by speeding up the inspection process while increasing accuracy and eliminating clutter and hazards. The ongoing cost of cables are eliminated as well as cable related injuries.
