The field of mobile technology is advancing in giant strides and with a lot of competition. At this point, the big companies see opportunities to improve their sales by manufacturing mobiles for a certain type of users.
And this is where the perfect mobile phone for architects, surveyors or engineers hand in hand with Caterpillar . We are talking about the Cat mobile S61 . A smartphone that brings together different tools to facilitate daily life in the engineering sector, the construction and works.
The new mobile from Caterpillar is no longer just a rock in as for resistance. The latest phone model maybe not brimming with power, but has some very interesting:
Just to list some important skill. Possibly, It becomes an indispensable benchmark in the sector. As summary of its capabilities, we have the perfect video in Spanish…
And remember that we also have good applications and software augmented reality for mobile. Now let's see which ones the skills of this robust mobile are the best…

The mobile has an integrated thermal camera that can work in image or streaming format. They detect invisible thermal energy at a distance of up to 30 meters, capture and measure any temperature change in form of thermal image or video.
Provides a new perspective and opens new cases of use, including: detect heat loss around Windows and doors; detect moisture or lack of isolation; identify overheating appliances electrical devices and circuits or see in the dark and through fog or smoke.
Enhancements on the new Cat S61 include a range of measurable temperature that works from -20ºC to 400ºC . (Remember our article on applications and use of thermography)
With HD camera that provides image optimization unmatched using FLIR's MSX® technology. You only have tap the MyFLIR app on the device, and then function. It's that simple!
Then, through the MyFLIR app, you can record still images, videos and timelapse, in a format of file that can be shared immediately by email email from the device. Crazy!
Another of the interesting capabilities of the mobile is measuring the temperature, humidity, or air pollution levels indoors in a closed environment. An air quality sensor that will alert us to the presence of high levels of contaminants
With the Air app on your device, you can view quickly humidity levels in a given environment and closed. Also, for example, it can be used to help to understand when a freshly plastered wall is ready to paint.
Although we have seen different apps that provide a laser measurer simulator on mobile. This time, the cell phone that incorporates a laser in its rear camera.
Unfortunately, for an accurate measurement, estimation is Do not take measurements greater than 8 meters (Tolerance up to +/- 3%). The Cat® S61 Measure application uses the laser built-in device and rear camera for set depth and calculate distances.
Can be used to measure the distance from the device to a surface and to estimate areas on that same surface.
Also remember the article about the digital tape measure. The tape measure of the future!
Can be used to calculate estimates or materials Necessary for tiling, wallpapering, painting, placement of pavements or skirting boards, laying of pipes or cables, or for drawing up floor plans.
Can be configured to display units of measure metric (meters and centimeters) or imperial (feet and inches).
The mobile implements waterproof technology allows your phone to survive more than just a stream of water.
The latest Cat S61 smartphone is fully waterproof up to 3 meters for 60 minutes. With lock switch, one feature that seals all audio ports to ensure that the phone can be operated at depths of up to 5 meters for 1 hour.
Cat smartphone touch screens are equipped with innovative finger tracking technology humid, which means that the screen can be used normal shape even when wet.
The phone has a Corning® Gorilla® glass screen Glass. In addition, it is equipped with technology that allows work with gloves and wet finger tracking.
Has a screen ultra-bright, perfect for when trying to read the phone in direct sunlight. And high level audio and high quality to work in noisy environments.
According to what they say… “capable of falling from 1.8 meters onto a steel surface, up to 30 times and in different orientations, without feeling the blow.”
In addition, it meets and is certified with the Specifications of Military Defense (Mil-Spec). Resistance and protection against dust, shock, water, vibration and extreme temperatures.
It is a technology implemented by Caterpillar that allows use the smartphone with damp or wet fingers on the touch screen, outdoors in the rain or if the device is completely soaked with water.
With this technology we can also use the mobile with gloves on, ideal for work environments on site, construction or industrial sector.
As we have been able to verify, we are dealing with a telephone designed to serve us in our daily work. It may be that not be the most powerful on the market, but it does have some utilities that will save us a lot of time in our work daily.
We've been looking, and from Amazon, you can purchase the phone with thermal camera with CAT official page from here. More information can also be found from the official page of Cat Phones.
