Land surveying
Every rover, tripod and prism pole back on the truck.
Survey gear comes off the truck at every setup, often a walk from where you parked. LoadoutGuard checks the truck every time it leaves and texts the party chief within minutes if something stayed behind, while the control point is still just down the road.

Setups away from the truck, pack-up at the roadside
A survey crew sets up, shoots, moves and sets up again, often a few hundred feet from the truck. Pack-up happens on a shoulder or in a field at the end of the day, and a pole in tall grass is easy to miss.
A text, not another app
The party chief gets a plain text naming the tool and the place. Reply “1” or “going back”, and LoadoutGuard texts again when the unit hears it aboard.
Any brand of instrument
Tags go on the gear you already own, from any maker, and on the cases they ride in. No telematics contract and no per-tool cellular plan.
Equipment we tag
If it comes off the truck at a setup and costs real money to replace, tag it.
Instruments
The expensive ones. They ride in cases, come out at every setup and go back in a hurry when the light goes.
- GPS rovers and bases#RV-02
GNSS receivers on a pole or a tripod
- Total stations#TS-01
Robotic and manual, in their hard cases
- Data collectors#DC-02
The controller that clips to the pole
- Digital levels#LV-01
With their rods
Setup gear
The pieces that get left at a control point: set down a few steps from the truck and forgotten.
- Prism poles#PP-04
With the prism and bipod still on
- Tripods#TP-03
Wood and aluminum

Tag the case as well as the instrument, and you know which one came back empty
A prism pole at a control point
Survey Truck 2 finishes a boundary job north of Greenville. Here's how the pack-up plays out.
An example of how it would play out, not a customer story.
- 1:48 PM
Survey Truck 2 parks by the control point on Tigerville Rd
A boundary job on a rural parcel. The truck's unit hears the rover, the total station, the tripods and the prism poles.
- 2:36 PM
Survey Truck 2 pulls out
Prism Pole #PP-04 is still leaning against a fence post by the control point, in the tall grass.
- 2:38 PM
Jordan Owens, the party chief, gets a text
The office sees the same alert, with the place and the time the pole was last heard.
- 2:51 PM
Prism Pole #PP-04 is back on Survey Truck 2
They were a mile down the road. Tomorrow's first setup doesn't start with a missing pole.
Text to the party chief, 2:38 PM
Surveying is new for us, so the first survey pilots decide where tags go on each instrument and case. We start with the gear that goes missing most.

The demo runs on a landscaping and a pressure washing company, but the text, the reply and the recovery work the same for a survey crew.
