The state and local governments have been given the role to provide access to some of the most important services for their citizens. Their responsibilities range from establishing and maintaining public facilities, parks and recreation, community housing, welfare, public transport, public utilities, and education institutions.
To effectively deliver on their mandates, state and local governments require specific devices, tools, and software that can simplify and streamline their work from monitoring to managing government projects.
Here’s how rugged tablets are used to deliver services to the community:
Utility Repairs
City utility employees are typically required to manually inspect any damaged or unstable lines or pipes. They occasionally have to go to hostile locations with difficult conditions, particularly in the winter. There may be things that require fixing, such as broken pipes that have caused flooding, downed electrical lines, or even gas leaks that have gone untreated because the city is not aware of them. The adoption of rugged tablets by city maintenance staff means they can trace pipes, lines, and leaks more easily and can stop worrying about going into potentially dangerous situations.
Rugged tablets can be integrated with the 3D RealSense camera which can go underground or be used above a situation to determine what needs to be fixed without ever sending a person into a potential gas leak area.
Road Construction and Maintenance
When roads need frequent repair or are in poor condition, it can be quite frustrating. Modern rugged handhelds are similar to digital multitools in that they are equipped to handle a variety of tasks and have features that are specifically designed to make them useful and adaptable. It enables all employees, whether they are on-site, on the go, or in the office, to log in to the same software applications to manage assets, record and track road maintenance concerns, and retrieve job requirements. Workers can use a single device to complete all of their tasks in one location.
By using mobile technology to directly improve the quality of data management, local governments improve the performance of its maintenance and inspection management systems and, therefore, improve the quality of their region’s roads and infrastructure.
Fleet Maintenance
Government fleet managers are faced with the challenge of controlling tight schedules and even tighter budgets. Government fleets are thus using technology and fleet software solutions to streamline operations and control costs. Government organizations utilize rugged tablets to handle internal maintenance, track vehicles and assess costs. Not only does integrated software on rugged tablets offer a central location for all fleet data, but many processes can be automated to allow fleet managers to focus time on improving operations.
Modern software can be incorporated into portable rugged tablets to improve real-time communication and data sharing. The majority of cities and local government organizations can greatly benefit from this reliable design and streamlined operations. Services will be simplified, and everything will be automated to reduce errors and improve productivity. The majority of actions involved in providing public services are carried out outside of an office, necessitating the use of electronic devices resistant to demanding working conditions.
Rugged tablets are built to withstand harsh environments, extreme temperatures, drops, and spills as well as the vibrations of vehicles and heavy machinery. Rugged tablets are versatile in the type of environments they can be used in, so your team will never worry about if a tablet can be taken onto a job site or used in the field.
