Fusion splicing has become an essential process in fiber optic network installations, and managing splicing projects and assets effectively is critical for success. View Pro Manager (VPM) is a comprehensive cloud-based platform designed to optimize the management of fusion splicers and streamline workflows. Fully integrated with INNO Instrument’s View Pro, View X, and M+ Series splicers, VPM enhances productivity, quality control, and compliance while providing real-time insights into operations.
What is View Pro Manager?
View Pro Manager is a powerful suite of tools that organizes and manages fusion splicing projects and assets. It includes features for project tracking, asset monitoring, and data analysis, offering users seamless integration with their splicing devices. By connecting a fusion splicer to VPM, users gain the ability to monitor splicing activity in real time, ensuring immediate access to critical data and insights. Synchronized splice images provide a crucial layer of quality control, allowing technicians and supervisors to review and verify the integrity of splices without requiring physical access to the splicer.
Another key benefit is the ability to communicate instantly with technicians through a built-in real-time messaging system. This feature enhances collaboration and ensures that troubleshooting and coordination are handled efficiently, reducing the risk of miscommunication. Additionally, VPM allows users to submit service requests directly through the platform, expediting maintenance and minimizing downtime. Administrators can also manage device access with full control features, ensuring that only authorized personnel operate specific devices. With its latest updates, VPM introduces advanced functionalities that make it an indispensable tool for modern splicing operations.

Key Features of View Pro Manager Integration
One of the standout features of VPM is real-time monitoring, which provides supervisors and technicians with instant visibility into ongoing splicing operations. Critical data, including splice images and performance metrics, are continuously synchronized with the cloud, ensuring access to the latest information whenever needed.
Synchronized splice images enhance quality control by automatically uploading captured images to VPM. This feature allows for comprehensive compliance reviews and detailed inspections without requiring physical presence at the site. If any issues arise, the ability to submit direct service requests through VPM ensures that maintenance and calibration needs are addressed promptly, reducing the risk of extended downtime and ensuring continued operational efficiency.
The platform also includes a real-time messaging tool that facilitates direct communication between technicians and supervisors. This function significantly improves project coordination by enabling quick troubleshooting and immediate response to any splicing challenges. Furthermore, VPM enhances security through full access control, allowing administrators to manage user permissions and restrict unauthorized access to devices and sensitive data.
Another valuable feature is GPS tracking, which provides users with the ability to track their devices even when a splicer is powered off but still has the battery installed. This functionality ensures that all assets remain accounted for and secure, reducing the risk of misplaced or lost equipment.
1. Real-Time Monitoring
With VPM, users can monitor splicing operations as they happen. Key data, such as splice images and performance metrics, are synced to the cloud, ensuring that supervisors and technicians have access to the latest information.
2. Synchronized Splice Images
Splice images captured during operations are automatically uploaded to VPM, enabling detailed quality checks and compliance reviews without needing to access the splicer physically.
3. Direct Service Requests
If a device requires maintenance or calibration, users can submit service requests directly through VPM. This feature reduces downtime and ensures efficient issue resolution.
4. Real-Time Messaging
VPM includes a messaging tool that allows technicians and supervisors to communicate instantly. This ensures quick troubleshooting and coordination during projects.
5. Full Access Control
Administrators can manage who has access to specific devices and data, enhancing security and preventing unauthorized usage.
6. GPS and Network Tracking
Integrated GPS and network functionality allow for device tracking, even when the splicer is powered off but the battery is installed. This ensures that all assets are accounted for and secure.
How to Register Your Fusion Splicer with View Pro Manager
To integrate your fusion splicer with VPM, follow these simple steps:
Step 1: Install a SIM Card
Insert a compatible SIM card into your fusion splicer.
Step 2: Enable Network Connectivity
- Navigate to [System Setting] on the splicer.
- Scroll down to the second page and ensure that the “Network” option is turned ON.
- If the network activation fails, go to “Network Settings” and manually enter the APN details provided by your SIM card provider.
Step 3: Verify Network and GPS Status
- The current network status can be checked in the Workbench interface.
- Note that GPS signals may not be available indoors, so perform this step in an open area if needed.
Step 4: Adjust Connectivity Settings (Optional)
- For the View Pro series, GPS and network functions are enabled by default.
- You can toggle options like “GPS Tracking when power is off” to control how the device behaves when not in use.
