UtiliPad vs QR & Barcode Scanner/Generator

UtiliPad allows field technicians the ability to capture highly accurate GNSS data measurements using supported third party hardware (sold separately) directly on his/her iPhone or iPad device. Like Tri-Global Technologies’ other software innovations, all information collected is centric to utility line operations. UtiliPad users have the ability to simply switch between utility line types, collect accurate geographic locational data, and record simple attribute information including, but not limited to, type of feature, photograph, notes, and relational spatial data references. Upon completion of field collection activities, user can then save work as a PDF map datasheet and transfer into their iTunes library. This PDF map datasheet can be used as a simple As-Built generation tool for any type of basic utility design or documentation. Please note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

QR & Barcode Scanner/Generator applications are utility apps that use your smartphone's camera to scan QR codes and barcodes and can also generate QR codes of various data types. Scanning QR Codes and Barcodes QR and Barcode scanner apps use your phone's camera to scan codes. Just point your camera at the QR code or barcode you want to scan and the app will automatically detect and decode the information. Here's a typical example of using a QR code scanner app: Open the QR code scanner app. Point your camera at the QR code or barcode you want to scan. The app will automatically scan the code and display the decoded information on your screen. The information can be a website link, contact information, product information, or any other data that is encoded in the QR code or barcode. Generating QR Codes These apps can also generate QR codes. You can create QR codes for a variety of data types, including: URLs: Create a QR code that links to a website. This is a great way to share a website link with someone without having to type it out. Contacts: Create a QR code that includes someone's contact information, such as their name, phone number, and email address. This is a great way to quickly share your contact information with someone. SMS: Create a QR code that pre-populates a text message with a specific recipient and message. Whatsapp: Create a QR code that opens a chat with a specific Whatsapp contact. Social Media: Create QR codes for your Facebook, Instagram, Tinder, or Snapchat profiles. Text: Create a QR code that contains a block of text. Email: Create a QR code that pre-populates an email with a specific recipient and subject line. Here's a typical example of using a QR code generator app to create a QR code for a URL: Open the QR code generator app. Select the type of data you want to encode in the QR code (in this case, URL). Enter the URL you want to link to. The app will generate a QR code for the URL. You can then save the QR code to your phone or share it with someone else. Sharing and Saving QR Codes Many QR code scanner/generator apps also allow you to share and save the QR codes that you scan or generate. You can typically share QR codes via email, text message, social media, or any other app that supports sharing images. You can also save QR codes to your phone's gallery so that you can access them later.
