BuildingReports announced today the availability of ScanSeries\u2122 version 1.5 with updates and enhancements for Apple\u00ae iOS. ScanSeries is a suite of industry leading applications for device-specific inspection and reporting of fire, life safety and security systems. Using a simple point-and-scan process leveraging iPhone\u00ae and iPod touch\u00ae devices in coordination with barcode-scanning Linea Pro sled hardware, inspectors can easily scan safety equipment labeled with BuildingReports barcode stickers, complete a building system inspection and deliver real-time, web-based inspection reports to building owners and safety officials.<\/p>\n<p>With the release of version 1.5, BuildingReports relied on customer feedback to provide popular enhancements including a new power management feature. The feature alerts the user once the mobile device battery power level reaches 30 percent, 20 percent and 10percent, and provides the option to charge the mobile device from the sled battery. The option can also be manually enabled at any time through the ScanSeries application settings.<\/p>\n<p>Because a mobile device requires more power than the sled due to screen lighting, memory and application processes, and other features not found on the scanning sled hardware, the rate at which the sled uses battery power is much lower than the host mobile device. Thus, the sled may be utilized as a secondary power source from which the mobile device can replenish its own battery supply during the course of longer inspections, reducing downtime for charging and increasing inspection efficiency. This option is only active while the ScanSeries application is in use.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on a user\u2019s device settings, the update may have been installed automatically. Users who do not have automatic application updates enabled should receive an alert from the iOS device\u2019s App Store icon to download and install the update to their device.<\/p>\n<p>Jason Dooley, quality assurance manager at BuildingReports, urges customers to keep BuildingReports applications up to date. \u201cFor users that prefer not to enable the automatic application update feature on their mobile devices, they should establish a schedule for checking application notifications and manually applying updates as they become available. This practice ensures that they are not only getting the full value from their investment in BuildingReports\u2019 mobile solutions, but that their devices and applications will continue to operate properly,\u201d said Dooley.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About BuildingReports<\/strong><br \/>\nBuilding-safety compliance is critical to service companies, building owners, and fire and safety officials charged with safeguarding occupants. BuildingReports\u2019 mobile and online inspection reporting tools enable inspectors to accurately gather data on fire and life safety devices\u2014ensuring these devices are working properly and meeting code requirements\u2014as well as identify necessary compliance actions through easily verifiable inspection reports.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ATLANTA \u2013 August 8, 2014.
