| ADMET enhances database capabilities of Concrete-Traker ADMET Inc., a manufacturer of integrated materials testing systems, has enhanced the capabilities of its Concrete-Traker database program for concrete testing. Designed to work with ADMET’s family of digital indicators and automatic concrete testing systems, Concrete-Traker handles the daily activities of a concrete testing laboratory. It is a Microsoft Windows 2000/XP-compatible database program that simplifies data storage and report generation to give labs a better focus on their businesses. Concrete-Traker generates concrete cylinder compressive strength reports that combine project, contractor, mix design, field data and strength results in a clear, concise format. Reports can be generated on company letterhead and printed, emailed or stored on a password-protected Web portal where project personnel can view the data using a Web browser. The new version sports a more usable graphical user interface (GUI), more powerful search queries and increased reporting capabilities. Concrete-Traker can be used each morning to report the specimens to be tested that day. Reports on the strength of each specimen tested with highlights of low strength breaks can be produced at the end of each day. Concrete-Traker also generates reports a) listing the number of cylinders tested, strength of each cylinder including a statistical summary for a given client and job over a specified period of time, which is ideal for determining how much to invoice your client every month; and b) listing the number of cylinders tested, strength of each cylinder including a statistical summary for a given concrete supplier and mix design. Concrete-Traker is designed to reduce the number of man-hours required for testing, generating reports and invoicing clients. It also reduces data entry time and errors through the use of predefined data entry forms and the automatic importing of strength results from an ADMET indicator operating the testing machine. Concrete-Traker can also accept onsite data directly from a personal data assistant (PDA), barcode scanner or other portable data collection equipment. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Construction News :: home page |
