Track’em™ material management system invention comprises of

• Central database to store material information SQL Server 2008 and .Net technology

• PDA/Mobile Computer to capture information using barcode or RFID any windows mobile PDA will be able to use Track’em™ application. However Track’em™ needs Symbol (Motorola) scanners to use scanning facilities.

• GPS receiver to record GPS coordinates. GPS receiver works using Satellite how ever if for some reason the satellite is not available e.g. Clouds, Storms or underground then we can use a drop down list of pre populated locations in the database

• The system also provides a drawing register/doc control. Drawings and documents related to the project can be stored in Track’em™ so that they can be accessed onsite in the field.

• The system also provides progress control using “Rules of Credit”. Planners and Schedulers use Rules of Credits for Progress and Planning Control. Track’em™ provides a tool to build the Rules of Credit and progress each item according to the Rules of Credit. Currently this is done using excel spreadsheet and quite cumbersome

• 3D modelling tool – a plug-in developed to link 3D models with Track’em™. Autodesk’s Navisworks is a 3D modelling tool used by designers is drafting companies for 3D modelling. Saleem Technologies has developed a plug-in which can link Track’em™ with Navisworks to give3D visual status of the whole project.
