AFC Mapper is a free application and workflow configured within the Trimble Unity platform. It helps water utilities bridge the gap between construction, mapping and maintenance management. It was specifically designed to leverage the power of Trimble, American Flow Control 2D barcodes and Esri technologies to automate mapping and asset management of hydrants, valves and related network assets.
