Construction Applications of the KnarrTek Software

The KnarrTek software has been used to track and manage the materials for a variety of construction  projects.

Applications have included tracking and managing:

• The manufacture and installation of curtain wall windows  in skyscrapers and office buildings
• The quarrying, cutting, and shipping of granite cladding for buildings
• The manufacture of custom kitchen cabinets
• The manufacture of steel girders for buildings
• The movement to site and the installation of materials for a water purification plant
• The installation of high-end media systems in multi-million dollar homes
• The manufacture and installation of granite counter tops
• The manufacture of ceramic roofing tiles
• Fabrication of metal ductwork

In such applications, the KnarrTek software:

1. Tracks the receipt, storage, and movement of building materials between multiple geographic locations, including stock-rooms, warehouses, yards, and construction sites.
2. Tracks materials by length, width, color and other user defined parameters with a common part number.
3. Tracks the issuance, movement, and return of tools and other assets, including the locations of tools,  who they are issued to, and which truck they are on.
4. Provides a real-time view of the status of all materials and tools at all locations anywhere there is an internet connection on tablets, PCs, and smart-phones.
5. Tracks the cutting, welding, fabrication, painting, and assembly of architectural elements and retains a traceability record in case problems subsequently occur and it is necessary to establish legal liability.
6. Automatically generates barcode labels to accurately identify each component, sub-assembly and assembly to be installed on site.
7. Records the packing of materials to be shipped to site, including generation of barcode labels
8. Tracks the loading of materials and tools onto  trucks and keeps a permanent record of what was shipped to site in case disputes subsequently arise as to what was shipped.
9. Can track the receipt of materials on site, their storage in different locations on site, and their installation.
10. Tracks the return of materials and tools from job sites.

The KnarrTek  software works with mobile devices that are able to communicate with the Internet over the mobile-phone data network. this enables recording of the delivery of materials to a construction site as well as their installation. It also enable tracking of project inventory in yards and on vehicles.
