Major telecoms client installs BassetPro

Tuesday, July 30, 2002

Imagine you are testing a system. A real big system. With lots of racks, and lots of cards. Let's say 3000 cards. The testing can take months. And the cards are moving, for upgrades, repairs, inspections. So how do you know what was where, when the testing was done? And how do you know that all the right cards are in place before the system is shipped. The answer is SageData's BassetPro.

A major telecoms client recently installed a variant of BassetPro to help track the circuit cards. Each card is identified with a UIC (Unique Identification Code), as are the shelves and racks. An audit can be performed simply by scanning the rack, and then the cards in the rack. This variant of BassetPro is smart enough to figure out the slot locations in each rack, and verify the correct location for each card. A transaction record is kept of each scan. The audit is performed by pressing a single key for each card or shelf.

The system can be operated in batch mode, for convenience and extreme portability, or in RF mode, so that data is instantly available to all users, on both hand held and desktop platforms.

Benefits include speed and accuracy of the audit, and provision of an audit trail to confirm correct configuration.

FiESta is SageData's System for management of fire prevention equipment. At the request of a specific client, the software was upgraded to meet organisation specific needs for maintenance tracking. SageData provide standard systems, which satisfy the essential needs of most applications, but can customise any application to meet specific needs of a particular organisation.

FiESta is designed to provide a quick, easy and accurate means of collecting data relating to fire prevention equipment. It helps ensure that the right equipment is in the right place.
