About

Proximity Scanner

Features
Read full description

The Proximity Scanner is intended for use by PG&E employees and contract-staff. The app uses your phone's GPS to verify WDR permit coverage and local environmentally sensitive areas, including contaminated sites, wetlands, and Areas of Special Biological Significance (ASBS). It considers the extent of each Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) and contaminated sites in the RWQCB and Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) listed sites within PG&E’s service area in California. The Proximity Scanner App is to be used in conjunction with the Vault Dewatering form as part of the vault dewatering procedure and helps PG&E Employees and Contractors determine if clean vault water may be discharged to land in certain locations after land owner approval is received and documented.

Welcome to KeyID. Have you ever come across something (like a key) in a drawer and wondered what it was used for? The KeyID app can help you organize keys or other items by providing a tool to catalog items by capturing and storing images and relevant information about the item. The image scanning feature of KeyID helps identify the items in an easy to view scrollable UI. The information you create within the app is also backed up to your iCloud account for safety and security so if you ever delete the app or get a new phone, you can easily restore the app and database information. KeyID also includes security features and allows you to setup a passcode prompt when launching the app. For large databases, KeyID includes a search feature to assist in locating unfamiliar items you may have previously cataloged. If the item was previously scanned into the app, the search feature can be used to track it down. KeyID's search uses Apple's Image Recognition feature (similar to FaceID) to compare items already in the app database. KeyID can be used to track small or unusual items that may be difficult to identify. You simply scan, inventory and catalog the item for future reference.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Proximity Scanner at none against Key ID's 1. Proximity Scanner also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 16.0). Key ID's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 11 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
