Quality Assurance for Manufacturing
A SageData client with manufacturing operations in Ottawa wanted to improve control over the inspection processes. SageData have a great deal of experience in this sector, and were able to provide a system that combines barcode technology with touch sensitive screens. The system is capable of handling a large throughput of items, each of which must be inspected, and an inspection record maintained. This is an upgrade to a system that SageData originally installed in 1994. The system increases throughput, reduces the possibility for error, and provides QA personnel with statistical data that enables the early detection of trends in Quality Assurance results.

High Voltage Application
Hydro One are constructing a new power transmission line, and working with Stantec as consultants for the planning of the construction. They face the challenge of tracking delivery of materials to numerous remote locations, and ensuring that the right items are in the right place to start construction. Stantec contracted SageData, who provided a variant of their Asset Tracking System to quickly and accurately track the receipt and subsequent movement of materials. Special consideration was give to training requirements, and the user interface was designed for use with the very minimum of training. Data is collected in the field using mobile handheld computers, and can be immediately available to managers at head office. SageData worked with several vendors to agree on marking requirements, and specific labeling protocols that simplified the data collection in the field. The system has protection built in against data collection errors. Because information is available in such a timely fashion, our client has the option to pay in five days, at a discount, and is protected from penalties that apply when payment is not completed thirty days from delivery. Apart from ensuring payment is made promptly for correct deliveries, the system can authorise hold payments where appropriate for short or incorrect deliveries. ]The system is operating as planned.

SageData goes to the Food Bank
The Food Bank presents some special challenges. Supplies need to be tracked accurately, including donated products that must be sorted and packaged for delivery. Because there is a high proportion of volunteer staff, systems must be easy to use with minimal training. SageData modified the standard BassetPro system to meet the specific needs of the Food Bank. We are happy to help.

Delivery Tracking System
SageData completes testing of the latest version of BassetPro, configured for Wide-Area use. Typical applications included delivery tracking. This particular configuration uses GPS to confirm location, and enables signatures to be captured and immediately transmitted with full delivery information back to the server, where they can be accessed by authorised personnel.
