29 The System What is it? PLANTRACKER is a web and mobile device (PDA) based solution for Construction Planning and Control in a comprehensive and flexible manner. It offers a solution for management task improvement dealing with construction sites.

30 The System The Functional Architecture permits easy access through the Internet/Web. The application is hosted in a Data Center, with access any time, any place. It is based on the Application Service Provider (ASP) model for commercialization. The client pays monthly only the consumption in terms of services and resources. Users and Data volume.

31 Functional Diagram Construction Site 01 Data Base Office Web Server Construction Site hour access Daily backup

32 Main Purpose PLANTRACKER is a corporate extranet for construction planning and control in a operational level, with data collection and synchronization through handheld computers (PDA) in the construction site.

33 Plantracker System Web Environment Planning Control Pocket PC Control Reports

34 Some real cases CESBE Hydroelectric Power Plant in construction (Rio Grande do Sul) and visual controls in the office (Curitiba); Athos Arquitetura Collaborative work and collection of photos from the site Norconsil More extensive usage

35 Characteristics Planning Web based: - Site Operations Schedule via Web - Visualization of Gantt Chart - Real Time Data
