locations using centralised management of all asset locations using PlantQuest.

Step 4 - Locations Logging

Use existing Fire & Site Layout Drawings
1. PlantQuest map assets before deployment, using a suite of internal tools
Employ PlantQuest Field Survey Tool
1. Log the location of assets in the field. This can be executed by PlantQuest or by the client
Bulk Data Import
1. Leverage existing your tabular data or BIM model.
Utilise the PlantQuest Management Portal for post-deployment adjustments.
1. Take control of the system post-deployment allowing you to manage and maintain asset locations.

Step 5 - Deployment

PlantQuest spends 2 days on-site commissioning the system and providing end-user training.
Comprehensive system turnover packs and dossiers are provided.
