IKE 3

Verifiable, accurate, and consistent data!

New technologies are revolutionizing the tedious, error-prone and expensive field data collection process. With IKE, you can easily measure pole heights, overhead line crossing lengths, wire span heights, attachment points and capture the pole’s GPS location – plus much more.

Back at the office, IKE’s calibrated TrueSize photos and measurements can be utilized within pole loading analysis software to create joint-use reports and permit applications or archive within a GIS mapping platform.

The IKE Solution

IKE revolutionizes the tedious, error-prone and expensive utility pole field data collection process.

Device – This rugged field data collection device captures calibrated digital images along with GPS coordinates, lengths and angles. The combination of a digital camera, submeter GPS, laser rangefinder and proprietary software within a single tool allows for the capture of field data efficiently and accurately.

Tools – Tools is the customized workflows and forms that are created within the desktop software and then uploaded into the IKE device. The type of measurement needed, in addition to the conditions and location of the object being measured determine which tool will be used.

Desktop – This Windows desktop software performs a number of functions, including the development of customized workflows for the IKE device. It also provides measurement calculations for attachments and spans from photos captured in the field and has the ability to generate reports in a variety of formats.

Integration – IKE data in the original report format is a valuable resource, but the data has a broader impact across an organization when the information is integrated with engineering software, GIS data or back-end systems. The data can be generated in a number of industry standard formats.

Accessories – Each IKE unit ships with a hard-shell case and a variety of accessories to support field use. Accessories include stabilizing tripod, glare shield, vehicle charger, extra batteries, screen protector and more.

Benefits of Using the IKE Solution to Manage Field-Data Collections

 
 

Verifiable

IKE provides geotagged photo verification of all field work. Every measurement is embedded directly into the IKE photograph. Providing time-stamped visual evidence establishes location and proof of attachment status.

Efficiency

Our unique all-in-one device combines a laser rangefinder, digital camera and compass along with GPS and a mobile computer. You carry less equipment in the field.

Accuracy

The attachment heights are accurate to within ±1 inch. Additionally, from a safe location, your IKE laser measures the GPS location of your poles to within ±3 feet.

 
 
 

Productivity

Field data collection time is greatly improved using IKE. Users can collect and process utility pole data and measurements faster than conventional methods.

Standardization

The software is designed to easily create customized forms that ensure consistency in data collection. The data can also be generated in a variety of industry standard formats, including Google Earth, which can then be imported into back-office software.

Safety and Access

Enables users to stand in a safe location to capture pole and overhead line measurements. IKE also enables users to take measurements in hard-to-access areas. No more standing in the middle of a street or letting a fence block your access to the pole.
