SteelTrack - Barcode Tracking

Page Steel have had a local software house design and build a custom barcode tracking software package named 'Steeltrack'. This package connects the workshop processes to the office management staff via their computers. All areas of the fabrication process are fully monitored by Steeltrack. This enables Page Steel staff to find out the exact position of each member on any project with the click of a mouse.

Steeltrack produces weighted delivery dockets, and advises the status of surface coatings and fabrication. Steeltrack also indicates the status of each stage of a project and ensures all members are ready for erection before the due date. Site personnel love the way Steeltrack locates hard to find items. They are also impressed by the packages ability to give riggers and foreman exact delivery dates and to identify all members that had been delivered on the same load. This can save valuable time for site staff trying to locate items on large sites.

Steeltrack also has the ability to trace material test certifications per member, and at the same time tracks the employee who manufactured the item.

Steeltrack is also a live system, so as a member has completed a particular process the office staff have real time monitoring of each component on every project. When specifically required and agreed to, Steeltrack can be made available over the internet for clients to track their project.

A special oil resistant tough tag has been developed and is attached to steel members, giving a clear member mark, length and weight making identifying each component easy.

The software has recently been updated to work with Iphones and ipads. When a barcode is scanned the fully history of that members activities are avaiiable, or further progress to the meber can be updated via the app.
