Work Anywhere: How TaskMapper Mobile Powers Offline Field Operations
Utility-scale solar sites don’t come with perfect network coverage.
In early construction phases, many blocks have no signal at all — yet field teams need to complete QC inspections, capture photos, and log issues every day.
That’s exactly why the TaskMapper Mobile App is built as an offline-first tool, designed for the realities of solar construction.
Here’s what a typical day looks like for field teams using it.
Morning: Prepare the Day’s Work
Before heading into the field, engineers and supervisors open TaskMapper in the site office and:
Load the maps and blocks they will work on that day
Download planned ITPs/ITCs assigned to their teams
Preload forms, tasks, and workflows for the areas they expect to cover
Once this is done, the entire day’s work is available offline — no connectivity required.
The team heads out, knowing everything they need is already on their device.
On Site: Fully Offline, Fully Functional
Out on the site — often in remote blocks or newly graded areas — the mobile app shifts automatically into offline mode.
Field teams can now:
1. Complete Planned ITPs and ITCs
Mechanical and electrical QC
Trench inspections
Pile or torque verification
Module installation checks
Commissioning pre-checks
All captured digitally, exactly as if they were online.
2. Capture Geotagged Photos
Even offline, every photo is stamped with:
GPS
Timestamp
User identity
Activity context (QC form, workflow step, etc.)
Each photo becomes part of the Digital Twin’s field history.
3. Create New Tasks When Issues Appear
If the team notices something unexpected —
misaligned modules, broken components, incomplete work, safety hazards —
they can instantly create a new task or NCR on the spot.
They attach photos, notes, severity, and location.
Everything is stored locally in the app.
No clipboards.
No “I’ll log this later.”
No lost information.
End of Day: Sync at the Site Office
When the team returns to the site office — or any place with connectivity — TaskMapper syncs all offline data automatically:
Completed ITPs/ITCs
Tasks and NCRs created
Photos and media
Workflow updates
Serial scans
Comments and notes
Supervisors and managers instantly see the day’s progress.
Dashboards, reports, and digital twin records all update in real time.
Nothing is lost.
Nothing is duplicated.
Everything is traceable.
Why This Matters
Solar sites are large, remote, and frequently offline.
Your field tools must work where the real work happens.
TaskMapper Mobile gives EPCs and field teams:
Confidence that all data will be captured
Speed in completing inspections and QC
Accuracy through geotagged photos and structured forms
Traceability with every update tied to the Digital Twin
Continuity from construction → commissioning → handover
It’s built specifically for solar construction — not forced to fit it.
