Envitech has joined the paperless revolution by launching Interactive O&M manuals on electronic tablets (Apple iPads). Traditional paper based-manuals 
present several problems – they may be easily lost or damaged; large three-ring binders that are difficult to search and cumbersome to carry; and lastly, red-lined changes and as-builts often are not captured in the final revision.
Starting with 2015 projects, Envitech created web-based O&M manuals for its customers. Due to the positive feedback received to date, Envitech decided to phase out paper copies and fully implement interactive O&M manuals through the use of customized electronic tablets. Each tablet is equipped with 16GB of memory, Wi-Fi capabilities, video and audio calling, personalized e-mail account, video recording, camera, and text messaging. Our customers can access their online manuals and its features with the click of a button. Specific advantages of the Envitech interactive O&M manual are:
- Portability - Tablets are thin, light and you can store more information than in 3-ring binders. Information is secure and readily accessible while you are out in the field.
- Updates - Online manuals allows us to make updates with ease. You have immediate access to the material rather than waiting for the manual to be re-printed and delivered.
- Troubleshooting - Our tablets allow you to contact our service team via text, e-mail or facetime.
