What was life like before the smartphone? Right – much more laborious. Just checking e-mails while out and about, finding a good restaurant in an unfamiliar city or following the latest sports results – in those days you couldn’t do these things just by reaching into your trouser pocket. However, fortunately there is an App for everything nowadays. Except for work, isn’t that right? In fact, that would be wrong; digitalisation has finally arrived in the trades too. Testo has heralded the era of smart measuring technology with modern, App-controlled measuring instruments and so makes your everyday work easier, more forward-looking and more efficient than ever before. Let’s have a closer look at what that means for you as refrigeration, air conditioning, ventilation or heating service engineers.
At the heart of the new technology are intelligent, free Apps which turn your smartphone or tablet into one of your most important tools. This fundamentally changes not only the measurements themselves, but also the documentation and processing of the measurement data. For example: Previously, measurement data were painstakingly noted down by hand, and many offices were buried in paperwork. Today, all measurement data can be conveniently transmitted to the App by Bluetooth, sent off directly on site by e-mail to the office or to the customer, and then archived without paper. Isn’t that practical? Working on complicated measuring points will now also be just as effortless for you, for instance when the adjustment point and the measuring location are a long way from one another. Here too, everything works in a flash thanks to wireless data transfer. Because now you just attach your measuring instruments and conveniently read out the data on your smartphone, irrespective of the measuring location. This means you save yourself loads of effort and valuable time. After all, that’s how easy it should be, shouldn’t it? And you find it just as easy to operate as with your personal Apps – that is really intuitive, at the touch of a finger.
However, those are not all the advantages by a long way. Smart measuring technology gives you a much more professional image with your customers. You can for instance clearly compare readings with one another using the graphic display options on the smartphone/tablet and can present the results straight away to your customer in an easily understandable way. Without any troublesome accessories, such as thermal printers, without any special software for data readout, without any long waiting times. In addition, customers are certain to be just as happy about the time saving as you are and they can apply themselves to more important tasks again more quickly. And, last but not least, you naturally also collect brownie points from them in comparison to colleagues who are still working with analogue methods.
Let’s sum up: modern measuring technology has finally arrived in today’s smart and digitally-networked world and is making your smartphone/tablet just as helpful and indispensable in everyday working life as it is in private life. Mobile use, intuitive operation and simple data transmission mean lots of work and loads of time are saved and enable you to impress your customers with lean processes and incredible speed. Just one more question remains: What was work really like before smart measuring technology? Right – much more laborious.
