Customer Cases

Background

The Xiamen bureau needed a mobile app to pair with its project survey-control system. Besides core surveying features, it required batch road-parameter management and large-scale centerline/edge stake coordinate computation on the platform side, which manual methods made extremely inefficient.

Solution

ApeSurvey customized the mobile app on top of the public ApeSurvey build, syncing app-recorded data to the platform in real time. After the first success, the bureau added a license for the road-parameter input & computation SDK, integrated into the web-based system for online batch parameter entry and automatic centerline/edge stake coordinates.

Outcome

• First engagement = custom app; follow-up = SDK license — repeat purchase validates the value
• Web-side online batch parameter input, automatic centerline/edge stake computation
• App records sync to web in real time, closing the field/office data loop

Background

The municipal bureau needed digitized survey-data management. Under the old model coordinates were handed off via WeChat and paper, causing entry errors, missing approvals and lost staking records, with high risk of survey accidents.

Solution

ApeSurvey built the whole system (web platform + mobile app). Centering on survey data, it implemented a three-step flow of entry → review → leadership approval, and allocated staking data by task to specific people. The app was deeply customized from the public ApeSurvey build.

Outcome

• Three-step coordinate approval, every operation traceable
• Staking data distributed by task, responsibility to the person, no misuse
• Web + App real-time sync, field/office collaboration

Background

The second harbor bureau’s survey management platform handles personnel, instruments and data. When building the companion app, it hit a hard problem: the dozens of total station and RTK brands on the market each use different protocols, making per-brand adaptation slow and costly to maintain.

Solution

ApeSurvey integrated its instrument-link SDK into the app, wrapping 48 brands’ protocol differences into a single, unified API. The development team connects and reads instruments with a few lines of code, without touching low-level Bluetooth/Wi-Fi details.

Outcome

• No per-brand adaptation — one-stop compatibility with Leica, Topcon, South and other main brands
• App connects instruments via Bluetooth/Wi-Fi, reading coordinates on site
• Much shorter development cycle and lower maintenance cost

Background

The survey software used on site came from mixed sources and produced results in many versions. Passing results between people led to multiple versions coexisting and updates going stale, and there was no unified standard for recording, computing and outputting survey data.

Solution

Bingce Technology developed the custom app and the platform backend. The app is customised from the public ApeSurvey build, connects to instruments to obtain results and sends them back to the server; the backend provides online management of survey data. The data flow meets the client’s confidentiality requirements.

Outcome

• Custom app connects to instruments and returns results, replacing manual entry
• Survey results managed online, traceable to person, instrument and time
• Data flow meets CCCC confidentiality requirements

Background

Survey management during construction of a pumped-storage project needed to cover the whole engineering survey workflow. Existing tools were fragmented and could not form a closed loop, and the client also wanted BeiDou technology applied on site.

Solution

Bingce Technology developed the mobile side of the engineering survey system around four capabilities — instrument connection, job setup, point measurement and point stake out — integrated with the client’s existing systems. Because on-site networks are unstable, collected data is cached locally first and uploaded automatically once connectivity returns, so nothing is lost.

Outcome

• Trial run completed on site at the pumped-storage project and accepted
• All four capabilities verified on site: instrument connection, job setup, point measurement, point stake out
• Weak-network handling: data cached locally, uploaded automatically when back online

Background

Survey data was scattered across projects and individual devices. Tasks were passed on verbally and over WeChat, and measurements were entered manually after returning from site. Instrument calibration status relied on paper ledgers — data was hard to trace and status was opaque.

Solution

Bingce Technology built a survey management and control system for the branch, covering online management of personnel, instruments, tasks, data and alerts. It consists of a web platform and a companion Android app, deployed on the client’s private servers. After go-live the system was iterated continuously on client feedback, and passed final acceptance after running in production for a period. Source code and deployment / operations documentation were handed over so the client can maintain it independently.

Outcome

• Survey data archived online, every record traceable to person, instrument and time
• Coordinate approval workflow with a trail at every step
• Automatic reminders when instrument calibration is due, replacing paper ledgers
• Source code delivered; the client can maintain the system independently
