NodeLink

Overview

NodeLink is a GPS-enabled Android tablet application designed to streamline nodal receiver deployment and improve field productivity. The system guides technicians to receiver locations, tracks deployed nodes, records deployment information, and integrates directly with SourceLink production management software.

Prior to deployment, the observer creates a project in SourceLink that includes maps, receiver station preplots, exclusion zones, and known hazards. The project is then distributed to Android tablets used by deployment crews in the field.

During deployment, technicians navigate directly to receiver stations, deploy nodes, scan equipment, acknowledge installations, and proceed to the next location. Deployment information is collected automatically and later imported back into SourceLink for production tracking and reporting.
