WorkFlow ist Ihr neuer Assistent auf und neben der Baustelle: Schluss mit händischem Zusammentragen der Schweißprotokolle. Mit WorkFlow stellen wir Ihnen ab sofort einen virtuellen Verwalter Ihrer aktuellen und abgeschlossenen Baustellenprojekte an die Seite. WorkFlow vereinfacht Ihre Dokumentation und stellt diese allen Beteiligten mit Zugriffsberechtigung jederzeit online zur Verfügung. +++ SCHWEIßEN +++ Schälen, reinigen, Produkt verbauen, Barcode scannen, losschweißen - diese Schritte sind allseits bekannt. Durch App-Unterstützung beim Schweißvorgang wird das Schweißprotokoll um weitere Daten erweitert: zum einen durch GPS-Daten, die den Ort des Bauteils speichern und Bilder, um die fachgerechte Montage des Bauteils dokumentieren. +++ SYNCHRONISIEREN +++ Die WorkFlow App übermittelt alle Daten papierlos in unsere sichere WorkFlow Cloud, wo sie in Echtzeit nach Projekten sortiert, aufgearbeitet und verwahrt werden. Von hier aus sind Protokolle immer und überall abrufbar. +++ VERWALTEN +++ Zurück im Baucontainer können Sie dank WorkFlow alle Bauteile einsehen. Jede Baustelle erhält ein eigenes Projekt und wird so vollständig erfasst. Alle Protokolle, Bilder, Bauteile und weitere Produktinformationen sind zentral an einem Punkt abrufbar. WorkFlow bietet Ihnen zahlreiche Vorteile bei Ihrer Arbeit # Schluss mit dem Papierkrieg WorkFlow ersetzt handschriftlich ausgefüllte Schweißprotokolle. Das senkt den Papierverbrauch und verringert die Zettelwirtschaft auf dem Schreibtisch. # Automatisierte Protokollerstellung Dank der Bluetooth-Verbindung zwischen FRIAMAT und WorkFlow App, werden alle Schweißvorgänge digital verarbeitet. So lassen sich csv-, xls-, pdf- oder DSV-Protokolle erstellen. # Livetracking der Baustelle Die Echtzeit-Erfassung ermöglicht es, vom Baucontainer aus den Fortschritt auf der Baustelle zu verfolgen. # Rund um die Uhr Zugriff Mit WorkFlow haben Sie immer Zugriff auf Ihre Projekte und Bauteilansichten. 24 Stunden am Tag, 7 Tage die Woche. # Map-unterstützte Bauteilansicht Was liegt wo? Die GPS-Daten im Protokoll ermöglichen eine Kartenansicht, die alle Bauteile auf einen Blick zeigt. So wissen Sie immer, welche Bauteile wo liegen. # Teamwork makes the dream work Baustellen sind Teamarbeit. Verwalten Sie Ihre Mannschaft, indem Sie Mitarbeiter in Ihr Projekt einladen.
