Precast Concrete

Precast Concrete Construction is a methodology wherein construction elements like beams, columns, walls, slabs etc. are premanufactured in factories in reusable moulds and transported to construction sites to be used in the construction of the intended structures.

Tracking Precast Concrete Elements for Timely Supply

Precast factories typically produce thousands of elements for different projects situated at different locations. Tracking each element for its status in the supply chain is of utmost importance for monitoring progress and ensuring timely completion of projects. Transportation of elements is also an important aspect of the precast supply chain, and it is important to know the exact location and the quality status of each precast element during transit as there are chances that elements could get damaged during transportation.

The precast concrete production process has historically faced significant challenges in tracking and managing concrete elements, besides the issues related to production planning, inventory management, quality control, and logistics.

Traditional methods of tracking precast elements often rely on manual data entry and paperwork, leading to potential inaccuracies and inefficiencies. In addition, the sheer volume of elements produced in a typical precast facility can make tracking a logistical nightmare.

Knowing the real-time status of thousands of elements can be challenging if done manually - even small errors can lead to potentially major repercussions. This is where IMPACT can prove to be very useful.
