GeoDin Onsite: capture ground data onsite digitally​

What's better than entering ground data on paper? We know - hardly anything beats a quick write-down on paper. But we knew this process could be improved, being ground experts ourselves. So we took the paper forms and digitized them - and added a bunch of brilliant features to it. So now you can enter your ground data like you're used to, on paper, but in a much faster, safer and smarter way. GeoDin Onsite is here!

GeoDin proudly presents GeoDin Onsite, an app for Windows tablets, laptops and desktop. GeoDin Onsite allows for easy, validated ground data capturing. The data can be seamlessly entered into GeoDin.

Besides easy data capturing, the app also offers label printing with QR, to make sample registration a simple task, and to prevent data loss or mix-up. And finally: the app can also include sample photos.

Data logging like 'on paper'

In these digital times, we sometimes long for the simplicity of paper. We know. Therefore, we created an app that is as similar to data entry on paper as it possibily can be. You can choose between touchscreen or keyboard entry. We've added smartness and sturdiness to the app so your data is entered better and kept safe. So no more rain and dirt destroying your precious borings.

GeoDin Onsite replaces paper forms with a tablet interface, providing a digital equivalent for field data capture. This simplifies the transition for personnel and cuts down on transcription errors. Users input data directly, and the app validates entries in real-time. It checks for correct data types and completeness, and enforces conditional rules based on field conditions, ensuring higher data quality and a streamlined workflow.  

Digital entry allows for immediate validation, with GeoDin Onsite instantly verifying entries and checking for completeness. The app's ability to enforce conditional rules ensures data adapts to specific requirements. This validation enhances data quality and streamlines workflow efficiency

Label printing with QR

And this is where it gets really interesting: our app allows for automatic label printing for every sample that you take! No more lost samples or mixed up test results.

GeoDin Onsite enables the creation of unique identifiers for samples in the field, eliminating manual labeling. The app generates labels with QR codes containing essential sample information. This automation ensures accurate and efficient sample marking.  

Generated labels include project number, location, depth, and sample type within the QR code. You can now trace your lab results back to the field, and have quick access to sample details by scanning the QR code, even with delays in data transfer.


Include sample photos

GeoDin Onsite allows users to integrate media like photographs into digital forms. Field personnel can capture visual documentation of samples or site conditions and link them to data entries. This eliminates separate documentation and keeps visual evidence with collected data.  

Integrating photos provides a more comprehensive record, enhancing the reliability of analyses. Visual data alongside measurements improves communication and collaboration among teams and stakeholders.

All features of GeoDin Onsite

  • Digital data entry: GeoDin Onsite allows users to directly input geotechnical data into a digital form on a tablet, mirroring the traditional paper forms used in the field.   
  • Data validation: The app validates data entries thoroughly, ensuring accuracy by checking for correct data types (e.g., numbers vs. letters) and completeness, and enforcing conditional rules based on specific field conditions or methods.   
  • Sample identification and labeling: It enables the creation of unique identifiers for samples and automates the printing of labels with QR codes, containing essential sample information like project number, location, depth, and sample type. The app can be linked to (industry-standard (i.e. Zebra branded) mobile label printers via bluetooth. It can also connect via standard wires.
  • Integration of media: Users can capture and embed photographs of samples directly within the data entry form.   
  • GPS integration: The app can capture GPS coordinates at the time of data entry.
  • Offline functionality: GeoDin Onsite is designed to work offline, allowing for data capture in areas without internet connectivity, with a requirement to connect periodically (e.g., every 30 days) to validate the license.
