Nature Supervision of Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug (Mobile Inform: MIG T-series Tablet Computers)

2021: Automation of the work of inspectors of the Nature Inspectorate of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug

The nature supervision of the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug (Ugra) is responsible for forest, fire, hunting and environmental supervision. The department employs 112 field inspectors who identify and stop illegal logging, poaching, littering of forest areas, oil pollution, collect evidence for administrative cases and determine the amount of harm.

The department introduced an automated information system for control and surveillance activities (AIS LPC), in which geodata, data space monitoring Lands and unmanned aerial vehicles are collected. According to this information, possible violations of environmental legislation are identified. Inspectors of Nature Supervision create a control and supervisory action card, plan where they should go, what time frame and what should be checked on the ground.

In order for data from the AIS LPC to be available to inspectors during field inspections, Ugra Nature Supervision decided to provide inspectors with mobile jobs based on tablets.

Since inspectors work all year round in the open air in any weather, they need moisture and dust-proof devices in an anti-impact case and with a capacious frost-resistant battery. It is also necessary that the tablet function stably in remote areas with unstable network coverage. Therefore, industrial MIG T8 tablets from Mobile Inform Group were chosen to automate the work of field inspectors.

The inspector's tablet is loaded with forest information, space images, points where he has already been, and data from inspections that have been carried out. The inspector travels to the point of the alleged violation and using MIG T8 conducts a photo or video capture, enters comments and records the coordinates of the violation. When the inspector returns to the office, he uploads the information to the AIS LPC, and all the revealed facts of violations with photos and comments enter the system.

With the introduction of the AIS LPC, there are no "abandoned" cases in the department: each violation identified and recorded by the inspector enters a single information system and goes through all the necessary processing stages.

As of October 2021, out of 112 service inspectors, 49 are provided with tablets. The department plans to equip each inspector with a tablet.
