Record the site
Take the photo and add the project name, location, time, direction and any note needed to explain what was inspected.

Field photos are part of everyday rail work. Conota helps keep the project, location and inspection context with the image from the moment it is captured.
Document the work as it happens.
For rail teams working across stations, trackside assets and infrastructure, the value of a photo depends on the context around it. Conota can keep project names, GPS information, timestamps, direction and field notes with the photo while the work is still in front of the team.
Keep the context
Use consistent project names and file naming so large sets of site photos are easier to identify and sort later.
Send a useful record
The office receives photos that already carry the field context needed for review, reporting and project documentation.
Useful across repeated inspections.
Location context
GPS coordinates and address data help identify where a photo was taken. Phone GPS should be treated as field context rather than survey-grade positioning.
Direction and azimuth
Useful when the orientation of an asset, wall, trackside feature or inspection point matters.
Project-based records
Project names and notes can stay visible on the image and can also be used in file naming.
Clean and documented copies
Where supported, teams can keep a documented photo alongside a clean copy for other project needs.
When a rail photo reaches the office, the useful part is knowing what it shows, where it was taken and which job it belongs to.
