Being a product person at heart I know a product needs to do the job it is designed for. It needs to be easy and intuitive to use and it needs to be fit for purpose. So putting OXEMS kit through its paces in laboratory conditions has been a critical part of its development.
I know there’s sound logic behind C.A.T. technology, but the very words ‘Cable Avoidance Tool’ strike me as being counter intuitive. It must be because OXEMS technology is designed to find and identify underground assets – not to avoid them!
I’m talking about a utility company gang – those who are tasked with digging up our streets to locate the buried assets that the utilities have buried everywhere beneath our feet.
I took my hat off to a squirrel the other day. I was watching as one enthusiastically tried to locate the nuts he’d buried somewhere in my front garden and I realized that he shares some of the same frustrations that utility companies face.
