Abstract
The Field Inspection Reporting System (FIRS) is a revolutionary system to effectively collect, deliver, process, and manage the information produced in the inspection process. It transforms the process from an overhead activity into an effective managerial tool by taking advantage of state-of-the-art technologies such as pen-based computers, digital cameras, and the World Wide Web (WWW). This paper describes how FIRS works and how the different technologies are integrated into a consistent environment. It also looks at what is ahead in field technologies.
