The PubWorks  Asset Data Collector is a laptop-based program designed to inventory fixed assets (signs, culverts, etc...) and/or perform inspections on assets that are already part of your inventory.

The Asset Data Collector integrates seamlessly with your PubWorks database updating it with field-collected asset and condition data.

Key features include:

• Works with any asset class or asset type and any number of assets.
• New asset types can be created and defined in the field.
• Positional information is collected automatically by either a vehicle-installed DMI or a laptop-connected GPS. Manual entry is also an option.
• Each inventoried asset is GIS map-able.
• Uses an intuitive drive-the-road interface, i.e.: while in use, you can see which assets are ahead and which assets are behind you.
• Creates a visual alert if you pass an existing asset.
• Users are not required to exit their vehicle and perform all operations on the laptop in their truck.
• There is no limit to the number of concurrent Asset Data Collectors in use. For example, you can have one employee inventorying culverts, another collecting guardrail data while a third employee does sign inspections.
• Merges all collected information into the PubWorks database - compares collected information against the asset records in the PubWorks database and either adds new assets or updates pre-existing assets.
