How AI (and WollnerStudios) Help Engineers in the Field

Smarter Tools. Faster Reporting. Better Results.

The work engineers do in the field—whether it’s scanning concrete, locating utilities, managing potholing, or assessing excavation conditions—is critical. But one thing every field engineer agrees on?

The paperwork is brutal.

End-of-day reports, photo documentation, condition assessments, and endless forms eat up hours that could be better spent solving problems and managing job site dynamics. Thankfully, there's a new tool transforming how all this gets done: Artificial Intelligence.

And at WollnerStudios, we’re helping bring that transformation to life—one smart application at a time.

The Problem: Reporting Slows You Down

Whether you're documenting a caisson pour, utility conflict, or concrete scan, most reporting processes look like this:

• Take dozens of photos
• Jot down field notes
• Sketch diagrams
• Go back to the trailer (or home)
• Spend hours formatting a report manually

Multiply that across multiple jobs, days, and teams—and you've got a bottleneck.

The AI Advantage in the Field

Today’s AI tools, especially when deployed on an iPad or tablet, offer field engineers an edge that’s long overdue:

• Automated Data Capture
• AI can pull data from site photos, drone footage, or LiDAR scans—automatically identifying defects, measuring distances, detecting anomalies, and tagging objects. Instead of hours of manual note-taking, you get real insights, fast.
• Voice-to-Text Field Notes
• Engineers can now speak directly into their iPads. AI-powered voice recognition converts those verbal notes into organized, searchable text—ready for the report. It’s faster, hands-free, and eliminates transcription time.
• Smart Report Generation
• Using pre-defined templates, AI can automatically populate field reports with the captured data—dates, weather, measurements, photos, and findings—neatly formatted and professionally structured.
• Visual Recognition
• On-site images and videos are no longer passive. AI can review them in real time to identify cracks, assess damage, or confirm field conditions. It doesn’t just record—it evaluates.
• Time Saved, Accuracy Gained
• Less time filling out forms means more time on real engineering challenges. AI doesn’t get tired or distracted—and that reduces human error.

Where WollnerStudios Comes In

AI by itself doesn’t solve problems. It needs to be smartly integrated, customized, and built around how you actually work.

That’s where WollnerStudios steps in.

We don’t just build beautiful brands and digital experiences—we design purpose-built tools that actually make your field teams’ lives easier. Whether you’re in construction, geotechnical engineering, utility location, concrete scanning, potholing, shoring, or excavation, we can develop apps and systems that use AI to:

• Streamline your workflows
• Reduce reporting time
• Enhance the professionalism of your output
• Make your operations more scalable and efficient

We take the time to understand what your team really needs—because we know the last thing you want is another “solution” that creates more work.

Your Next Timesaving Tool Starts Here

Imagine your engineers finishing a report on-site before they even get back to the truck. Imagine faster communication with clients. Imagine fewer errors and a stronger brand image—all powered by smart design and cutting-edge AI.

That’s what we do.
