Coming soon · Field preview

Built for gloves, sunlight, and no signal.

Field adoption is won or lost at the weld — not in the trailer. MaxTrax field mode is the same platform your office runs, re-composed for a phone in one gloved hand: big targets, one action per card, offline by default.

Human factors first

Designed for hour twelve of the shift.

A tired inspector mis-picks statuses and transposes weld numbers. That’s not a training problem — it’s a design requirement.

Glove-sized everything

48px standard controls, a 56px tier for primary actions, and generous invisible hit areas beyond every visual edge. A glove-scale preference bumps it all further.

Never a dropdown for a disposition

Status changes with safety impact render as large, color-coded, vertically ordered buttons — and rejecting a weld asks for an explicit confirm that names the consequence.

One decision per screen

Long forms decompose into step wizards when you’re standing at a weld. Big enumerated choices, a review step before commit, optional steps you can skip.

Interruption-proof

A phone call, a screen lock, an app switch — drafts persist through all of it. Half an entry at the weld never becomes zero entries at the truck.

Readable in the sun

High-contrast type, status colors that survive glare, 16px minimum inputs — which also stops the maddening zoom-on-focus on iPhones and iPads.

Point your phone at the weld

QR scan lives in the thumb bar. Scan a stencil label and land on that weld with its one primary action ready — find-by-walking beats find-by-typing.

Offline, honestly

Offline is a trust problem. We treat it like one.

A coordinator who can’t tell whether a field edit reached the server stops trusting the system — and goes back to paper. So every sync state in MaxTrax is visible, and no edit is ever silently lost.

1

Work without signal

Complete welds, record results, add field welds — everything queues locally with a visible “queued” badge on the exact records affected. Pin the day’s drawings to your device before you leave coverage.

2

Watch it sync

Back in coverage, the queue drains in the open — per-record states, a last-synced timestamp, and a sync panel that converts anxiety into information.

3

Conflicts get adjudicated, not swallowed

Two devices touched the same weld offline? You get an honest side-by-side — who, when, which facts differ — and a deliberate choice. The losing version is retained and the resolution is audited. Never last-write-wins.

Offline capture covers field workflows — completing welds, recording results, film-interval capture — by design. Configuration and heavy editing stay online, where they belong.

Speed you can time

Race the stopwatch.

Data entry speed shouldn’t be a brochure claim — it should be something you can measure on your own line. Early-access partners get to time it themselves.
