Guest Series Part 2: RFID-Based Materials Management - A Game Of "What If"
8/9/2010
No matter how effective a manual system may seem, because the recording of material movement is not automated, data becomes obsolete very quickly. To make matters worse, unique material identification numbers are often hand-written, painted, or etched onto material and can become faded, smeared, removed, or hidden by other materials or elements like grass, dirt, or snow. Thus, manual tracking of pre-engineered components leads to increased instances of components that are "not immediately found," which leads to higher costs and decreased productivity.

Guest Series Part 1: RFID-Based Materials Management - An Overview
7/15/2010
Tracking and monitoring the location of construction assets on a jobsite is vitally important to project executives, owners, contractors, and suppliers. Yet this activity is a commonly overlooked aspect of field data acquisition. Timely and precise information about the status of critical assets such as pre-engineered components, equipment, tools, and labor resources allow contractors to bid more competitively on projects, and are directly related to the successful and profitable completion of a project.

5/25/2010

Going through this exercise, the words made famous by Disney, however simple, seem fitting and relevant. Business today is truly ‘a small world after all.’ Considering this infamous melody, the statement “though the mountains divide and the oceans are wide, it’s a small world after all” has never been as true as it is today.
