NASHUA, N.H.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nrby, pioneer of location-based awareness and productivity, today announced that Eagle Communications has joined the growing base of cable providers using the Nrby platform to accelerate and enhance plant operations. Using Nrby on their smartphones, Eagle technicians can instantly and accurately capture data and images about plant issues, create and review historical maintenance records for fixed generators and quickly input construction requirements to efficiently close temporary wire drops, while on-site. Nrby automatically sends that information to the right stakeholders, enabling Eagle to quickly complete jobs.
“Nrby is the best solution we’ve found for capturing plant information and communicating that information to make it actionable,” said Travis Kolhrus, General Manager at Eagle Communications. “With Nrby, it’s incredibly easy for our technicians to document issues while they’re out working on the plant, communicate those issues, and for management to process the jobs in real-time. Now, instead of using paper-based forms, which are time-consuming, prone to inaccuracies and easy to lose, we’re assured of getting the real-time, consistent, context-rich information we need to keep our operations running, so we can continue providing the quality services our customer expect.”
Using the Nrby app on their smartphones, Eagle technicians simply drop a SmartPin representing the issue/event at hand on a map and fill in required information, including notes, photos and videos, in the SmartPin’s electronic SmartForm. That real-time data is automatically collected, processed and stored in historical records, while made available via a web-based dashboard.

Plant Maintenance
When Eagle technicians discover a plant issue, they drop SmartPins representing issue on the map. Actionable timers on the SmartPins ensure any issue that isn’t attended to in a prescribed timeframe gets escalated. When technicians finish a job they remove the SmartPin, which triggers completion status to be noted in the record.
-
Temporary Drops
Technicians use SmartPins to indicate drop location and status. The information is automatically processed and available for contractors, eliminating guesswork and making it easier to dispose of drops when they’re no longer needed.
-
Generator Management
Technicians access historical maintenance records while on site using their Nrby smartphone app, viewing information about all the work done on that generator. They then enter their work on the SmartPin’s SmartForm, adding to the generator’s work history. This results in more informed decision-making and effective maintenance checks.
“We’re thrilled Eagle Communications has selected Nrby to enhance plant operations, and that they’re realizing such significant benefits across a variety of use cases,” said Ron Miller, Vice President of Product Management at Nrby. “Eagle’s wide-spread use of Nrby is a testament to the value it provides to organizations with mobile workforces.”
