What technology does the SML2 locator use?
SML2 uses RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) electronic marker detection
It works by:
• Sending a signal to buried RFID markers
• Receiving response from marker
• Identifying asset type and data
What is the detection depth of SML2?
Typically up to ~1.5 to 2 meters (depending on marker type)
How accurate is RFID marker detection?
Highly precise (pinpoint accuracy)
Detects exact marker position
No ambiguity like cable tracing
What type of display does SML2 have?
Digital LCD display shows:
• Marker type
• Signal strength
• Stored data
How can I eliminate manual documentation during utility installation?
SML2 captures:
• GPS coordinates
• Marker ID
• Photos
• Notes
all in real time through its integrated Android interface, eliminating paperwork and post-field data entry.
What is the best solution for creating GIS maps of underground utilities automatically?
The device automatically generates GIS maps during installation using built-in GPS and mapping tools, removing the need for separate surveying or office-based processing.
How can I reduce survey time and improve field efficiency?
With real-time cloud synchronization, wireless data transfer, and integrated tools (camera, scanner, GPS), SML2 significantly reduces field time and speeds up project execution.
Can this system work without internet connectivity?
Yes, SML2 supports offline data storage, allowing field operations without connectivity and syncing automatically once internet is available.
Can one person handle installation, mapping, and documentation?
Yes, the integrated mobile computing platform allows a single operator to perform complete asset marking, mapping, and documentation, reducing manpower requirements.
What makes SML2 different from standard RFID marker locators?
Unlike basic systems, SML2 offers:
• Real-time cloud data sync
• Built-in GPS & GIS mapping
• Camera & barcode scanner
• Android-based mobile computing
making it a complete digital field solution, not just a locator.
What types of utilities can be tracked using SML2?
It is suitable for:
• Power cables
• Optical fiber networks
• Gas & water pipelines
• Sewer systems
• Smart city infrastructure
Is this system suitable for smart city and large infrastructure projects?
Yes, SML2 is ideal for smart infrastructure, telecom, railways, and utility networks, where digital asset tracking and mapping are critical.
How does SML2 reduce long-term operational costs?
By creating a centralized digital database of underground assets, it reduces:
Re-survey costs
Excavation errors
Maintenance delays
and improves overall asset lifecycle management.
How does this improve maintenance and repair efficiency?
With precise GPS-tagged marker data and navigation features, teams can quickly locate exact asset positions, reducing downtime and improving response time.
Will this work in harsh field environments?
Yes, the device is built on an IP68 rugged industrial platform, making it suitable for dust, water, and tough site conditions.
How accurate is the location data captured?
With built-in GPS and optional RTK GNSS integration (2–5 cm accuracy), the system provides highly precise location data for critical applications.
Does the SML2 support GNSS integration for location accuracy?
Yes, the SML2 supports GNSS upgradability via Bluetooth connectivity.
