Technicians can AutoRecord measurements and infrared images to Fluke Cloud storage from wherever they’re working, without writing anything down. Everyone on the team with a smart phone and the app can see the data, says Fluke.
Even team collaboration is made easy with ShareLive video calls, where technicians can share measurements with other team members in real time, get approvals for repairs, or get questions answered without leaving the field.
The Fluke Connect app features EquipmentLog history, which allows technicians to assign measurements to specific equipment, creating a cloud-based history of test measurement data for easy access during both troubleshooting and reliability maintenance. And TrendIt enables technicians to instantly graph data, helping to identify trends and quickly make informed decisions.
Fluke Cloud storage is built upon state-of-the-art security, including secure access, electronic surveillance, multi-factor access control systems, built-in firewalls, and encrypted data storage, adds Fluke. The Fluke Connect app can be downloaded for free from the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store.
