Following mobile authentication through the iPhone app, users can navigate systems such as BirdDog Remote Data Retrieval and the BirdDog LACT-Pro® Controller & Ticketing Service for data access and management. Users are also provided with an easy way to reach support staff by phone or email. Non-authenticated users can access company postings on products, services, and general reference information, including News & Events, Press Releases, and the highly regarded Statement of the Month. While optimized for the iPhone 6, the BirdDog IS Mobile app is fully compatible with earlier iPhone versions, providing crisp performance and outstanding screen clarity across all models.
The BirdDog Remote Data Retrieval System, a simple yet powerful means to remotely collect, analyze, and alarm flow measurement and related data, is now fully accessible through the new iPhone app…including on-demand polling for ad hoc updates between routine polls. Advanced security features permit data to be selectively viewed according to the end-user, specific parameters, and monitored locations.
The BirdDog LACT-Pro Controller & Ticketing Service is an entirely new way of managing LACT unit operations with an advanced microprocessor-based controller linked to an innovative ticketing service for instantaneous electronic distribution of delivery tickets as transfers are completed, with simple access to ticket archives as well as summary reports…through the web and now via the new BirdDog IS Mobile iPhone app.
Jayson Payne, Coastal Flow's Vice President of Digital Operations, commented that "In today's highly mobile, digital oilfield operations, our BirdDog iPhone app provides an excellent vehicle for delivering data to our customers in a flexible and timely fashion. Building on this foundation will allow us to further expand the ways in which information may be pushed or pulled to maximize efficiency and productivity."
