For existing Macrilon customer teams: a company-provided account and an assigned job are required — there is no sign-up in the app. Macrilon Field App is the utility pole survey app for crews working make-ready, joint-use and fiber construction jobs on the Macrilon platform. Walk the line, photograph every pole, and record what is on it. It is built for places with no cell service: the app itself is on your iPhone, so it opens and works where your phone has no signal at all. SURVEY A POLE • Take pole, wire span and surroundings photos with the iPhone camera. Mark a span as a drop (secondary service or communication drop) and choose its crossing type, such as over roadway. • Each pole has one capture board: whole pole, pole tag, birthmark, guy wires, anchors, equipment, wire span and surroundings, plus an optional Comm tags tile for the tags on communication cables. The next photo is lit up; tap GO to take it. • Most photos save by themselves; tap Add another for one more. No guy wires or no equipment? One tap on None, no photo needed. • Record the pole ID, pole tag, equipment (transformer, arresters, riser, streetlight, capacitor, recloser), communication companies and the owner of each line, and notes. Companies are remembered for the whole job. • Mark a pole you couldn't reach and choose the reason. ON A PHONE THAT CAN MEASURE (IPHONE MODELS WITH A LIDAR SCANNER) Ruler: walk up to the pole, tap its base (a magnifier shows exactly where you're tapping), then step back to fit the whole pole in the picture. Marks every 4 ft from 2.5 ft up to 34.5 ft, those in the picture, are saved with the photo. They are an on-phone check, not a surveyed height. If the Ruler can't read the ground, the Macrilon logo still takes the photo; it is saved with no Ruler height. After a Ruler photo, one quick question asks you to tap where the pole meets the ground. It helps us improve height accuracy and never blocks you: Skip or Base hidden. The map pin can move from where you are standing to the pole face, using the direction and distance from the phone. Stick photo: put the physical stick in the frame. Phones that cannot measure use this path. BEFORE YOU LEAVE • Download your job while you have signal: its poles go onto your iPhone. • The Day readiness check reports what it can measure before you go — room for photos, which jobs are downloaded and how old they are, work still waiting to upload, when your sign-in ends, whether camera and location are allowed, and battery. It shows estimates and says so, and it does not guarantee an all-day run. IN A DEAD ZONE • Open the app, pick your downloaded job, and keep surveying: capture, pole details, notes, the pole list, the map and the guides all work offline. • Photos you save wait on your iPhone. They upload automatically while the app is open, connected and signed in; anything that needs attention is shown in the upload status at the top of the screen. • The map shows the job's poles, and your position when location is allowed and a fix is available; satellite imagery needs signal. LOCATION FOR EVERY CAPTURE • Your iPhone's location is recorded with each photo while the app is open, when you have allowed location and a usable fix is available. Saving never waits for GPS: a rough location is marked approximate. • The app compares it with the pole on record — from your download, so this works offline — and asks you to review a mismatch. • Adjust the pin on satellite imagery when you're standing away from the pole. • Locate me waits for a good GPS fix and warns you when the GPS signal is weak. SEE THE JOB • Poles sorted by distance, showing which ones already have photos. Planned poles show their SCID on the list and the map; pick one and its SCID fills in the Pole ID. • The photos already uploaded for the job (needs a connection). LANGUAGES • English, and Spanish, French (Canada) and Portuguese (Brazil) (all beta): choose it in More > Language.
