Orlando, FL, and Reston, VA October 25, 2009 (Conference photos added October 28) - LATISTA Technologies Executive Vice President Christopher Ramsey will present as a field automation and quality expert at the upcoming Construction Management Association of America (CMAA) conference. LATISTA will partake in an Educational Session with the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) entitled "Meeting USACE Quality Requirements – Automating Quality Management in the Field."
Quality is critical for USACE, as their construction projects must meet strict government and military specifications. To meet these specifications, USACE; general contractors Clark Construction Group, LLC, and Balfour Beatty; and LATISTA Technologies are automating QA/QC and punchlist inspections using mobile tablet PCs and web-based software. Automation is critical on projects to improve collaboration and efficiency on the jobsite and to support Total Quality Management (TQM).
Attendees will see a mobile tablet computer and software, including features for quality inspections, punch-list and a field-ready building information model (BIM) component. LATISTA Field integrated the first mobile BIM component with help from its partners, Autodesk Inc. and Tekla Inc. The presentation is scheduled for 3:15 Sunday afternoon, October 25. The 2009 CMAA National Conference runs from October 25-27 at the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress in Orlando, Florida.
