Profometer - Intelligent software for durability inspections of concrete structures. Used together with the most compact, versatile and accurate cover meter, the Profometer PM8000 Pro, PM8000 & PM8000 Lite for mapping concrete cover and estimating rebar diameters. Used with the fastest and most flexible corrosion half-cell potential meter, the Profometer PM8500 for mapping out corrosion potentials. The Profometer app can be connected to two different sensors, and its mission is simple: - PM8000 Pro, PM8000 & PM8000 Lite: Scan reinforced concrete in situ for quality control, conformance with structural drawings and assessment of structural durability by mapping concrete cover and rebar diameter. - PM8500: Measure the corrosion potential using half-cell technology, providing a clear overview of the areas that have a high probability of being corroded, for further analysis and definition of a repair project. The Profometer app is the perfect software solution for inspection services, structural & civil engineering firms and contractors working on durability, corrosion and structural resistance assessment of existing reinforced concrete structures, or quality control for new constructions. The seamless integrated workflows bring you unprecedented productivity in the field and can save you countless office hours. The intuitive software produces all valuable deliverables such as: - PM8000 Pro, PM8000 & PM8000 Lite: spot measurement check, concrete cover and rebar diameter maps, signal strength views, heat maps including AR (augmented reality), standard and advanced statistics based on DBV (Deutscher Beton- und Bautechnik-Verein) criteria, elevating your assessments to the next level. - PM8500: corrosion potential gradient view, cumulative frequency and distribution statistics views, corrosion likelihood chipping map. Enrich your measurements with geolocation, tags, photos, voice memos and comments in the Logbook to provide a full picture of the contextual data. With only one click, you can collaborate and share data from anywhere and anytime among all stakeholders - in raw data, CSV, HTML and DXF format. All your data is accessible on Screening Eagle Workspace with any web browser. All of this magic starts by connecting with one of the two revolutionary and best-in-class sensors: - Profometer PM8000 Pro, PM8000 & PM8000 Lite cover meters including rebar diameter dimensioning functionality. You gain access to unmatched measurement accuracy thanks to unique data interpolation, augmented auto rebar spacing detection and intelligent neighbouring rebar correction. - Profometer PM8500 corrosion half-cell potential meter, the most accurate and productive sensor in the market. You can use our rod electrode for mapping corrosion in small concrete elements, and our one-wheel or four-wheel electrode, to map out corrosion in bigger areas such as parking garages or concrete bridges. Leverage the real-time software for immediate visualization of corrosion likelihood analysis, connected to the most compact sensor and the unique wheel electrodes for the fastest area scanning. These ultra-lightweight and rugged Swiss made products in combination with the outstanding Profometer app deliver a reliable basis for identifying the risky and corroded areas for further investigation and repair. The Profometer PM8000 Pro, PM8000, PM8000 Lite and PM8500 are meant for quality control, durability and structural assessment. And that is why it is the perfect complement to Proceq GPR (GP8800, GP8000, GP8100) concrete imaging and Pundit Ultrasonic (PD8050, PI8000) concrete thickness, quality & defect inspection portfolio by Screening Eagle Technologies.

MOBILE APP FOR END-TO-END CMT WORKFLOW The Guardian mobile app is used by field technicians to track sample and site data from the field to the lab and beyond, ensuring complete chain-of-custody for all project stakeholders. SURETY STARTS IN THE FIELD Capture, claim and locate sample data and sync information to the lab. CAPTURE When a new batch of concrete arrives on site, field technicians can capture sample data and create new specimens. -Input sample ID, ticket number, placement, date and wet concrete information directly in app without connectivity. -Automatically sync data with the Guardian database. -Access this data to inform future steps in the construction materials testing workflow. CLAIM Drive accountability on the job site for managers and field technicians by claiming specimens. -Filter samples in the app by sample ID, project ID, location, sample data and status. -Assign chain of custody status to each sample’s specimens: Cast, Assigned, Claimed, Collected and Delivered. -Claim a sample’s specimens that have not yet been received at the lab or assign someone else to pick up the specimens. LOCATE When assigned to pick up a sample’s specimens, the field technician can view a map with pins that show the exact location of specimens on the job site. -Proactively pick up unclaimed specimens that are ready to move to the lab. -Help new technicians or technicians who haven’t been to the job site find the specimens they need to pick up. -Prevent unclaimed specimens from sitting onsite too long and eliminate penalties for improper curing or late or missing tests. FOR GUARDIAN USERS The Guardian mobile app is a powerful tool for field technicians, lab and project managers, and principal engineers who subscribe to the Guardian software program and use our LIMS as their essential concrete testing software. VALIDATE LAB TESTING AGAINST FIELD WORK -Trust materials meet your project’s standards -Streamline complex workflows for greater productivity and profitability. -Fully close the data gap between key stakeholders and steps of the CMT workflow. -Avoid miscommunication and discrepancies as data moves from the field, to the lab, to the office and beyond.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Gilson Guardian at none against Profometer's shown. Gilson Guardian also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
