We’ve collected the most recent updates to Info360 Asset, our web-based app for asset management professionals, which include a new record type, Events, easier ways to add media, and smarter ways to connect your assets and data.
We have added Events to Info360 Asset as a new record type. This allows asset managers to upload and track asset failure events related to their water and wastewater network assets – things like flooding, odor incidents, and pipe bursts. Events can be uploaded in the Activities section within Info360 Asset and can be viewed as a chronological list of all activities, which includes inspections, events, and tasks. These can be viewed for each asset on the network map, and you can even indicate the status of events to monitor their progress.
Events can help you maintain a detailed history of all events associated with assets to help you better identify recurring issues and implement preventative measures such as prioritizing maintenance, pipe rehabilitation and repair efforts.
You can now add videos and images to your wastewater and drainage network asset inspections at any time, even if no media was referenced when inspections were originally uploaded to Info360 Asset. No need for re-ingestion: You can incrementally add media files to existing inspections without re-uploading the entire inspection data.
You can also now capture images directly from CCTV inspection videos during the observation coding process. Just click the ‘Capture Image’ button whenever you want to grab an image at a specific time. The captured image is associated to the observation and a thumbnail of the image is created.
These changes will both make your content more comprehensive and your inspection workflow more efficient so that you won’t have to toggle back and forth between inspection video footage and network asset data.
We have added the ability for you to re-link network inspections, tasks, and events to new asset IDs even if your original assets were deleted and re-ingested. Previously, when assets were deleted, all related inspections, tasks, and events associated with a given asset would be disconnected after losing their link to the data. Now, Info360 Asset saves all of that important related asset information in case you want to reference it again.
Why might you want to delete your network assets?
What makes this easy is that the data stays linked: Inspections, tasks, and events remain correctly linked to assets, even after re-ingestion, aiding in accurate reporting and analysis. However, you can re-link if needed.
Ultimately, this change allows you to bulk delete with confidence – if you ever need the option.
Our product development team has put in a lot of work on the look and feel of Info360 Asset, striving to make it more intuitive and easier to navigate. You’ll see some redesigned elements like icons, buttons, colors, and layouts across multiple data grids, including asset, inspection lists, inspection condition summaries, risk results, rehab results, tasks, events, and the data module.
We think our UX team did a great job of making the user interface and all of its own data look more consistent, with better spacing, coloring, and positioning of elements throughout.
