 Mobile Inspector is an iPad app WisDOT is using in conjunction with FieldManager.  Field staff can enter item quantity entry, men, equipment and weather at the construction site and it auto syncs with FieldManager.  Staff can take photos and attach them to an IDR.  Standalone versions of the CMM and Standard Spec are available on the iPad.  In 2014, WisDOT piloted the Mobile Inspector app with 1-2 inspectors per region office participating. 5

 The Mobile Inspector app is free but WisDOT pays an annual license fee for the “Bridge” communication software between the app and FieldManager.  In 2015, there will be more WisDOT inspectors using iPads in the NE and SE Region offices.  Due licensing restrictions, this app will not be provided to consultant staff but we hope to have this resolved by the 2016 season. 6
