HAND is the mobile data collection solution designed to support the TAPS sample planning and scheduling system. Data collection through the use of hand-held devices offers an attractive alternative to paper. A schedule of work and round data is created in TAPS and downloaded to the hand-held terminal. The sampler can then enter on-site data directly into HAND for storage until the device is placed into the docking station in sample reception. Data is then electronically transferred to TAPS.

STAR calculates the estimated time to complete a sampler’s field round and estimates if the work can be completed. TAPS holds the geographic position of each site in the database, the expected access time to enter a site, the route around the site for a specific sampler and the expected sampling time at each location.
