Koch Pipeline Company (KPL), a division of Koch Industries, recently selected @hand as its Enterprise Mobility software provider for a mobile work management solution. Early next year, the company will deploy the @hand Field Mobility System (FMS) to field service technicians and supervisors responsible for the inspection, maintenance, and repair of Koch's pipeline assets.

@hand FMS will enable Koch's field personnel to use mobile devices (handhelds, tablets, and laptops) to perform mission-critical job functions, such as work order processing, operator rounds, and timekeeping. To ensure that mobile data is consistent with systems of record, @hand will interface with Koch's IBM Maximo asset management system.

KPL manages over 4,000 miles of crude oil, refined petroleum, chemicals, and natural gas pipelines in the central United States, operating in states such as Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Texas, and Wisconsin.

@hand is thrilled to add Koch Pipeline to our growing list of customers and mobile Maximo installations.
