Introduction

Challenge faced by the industry in tracking.
The main challenge faced by the industry on tracking the part or component of the ship or vessel is the service time for repairing a ship is too long. During this long period of serving time, the ease of retrieving records is one of the main concerns of the industry. Some repairing parts may use up to 6 to 12 months time for servicing or repairing. If the servicing company does not have proper records for the tracking process, it may cause a long unwanted process in finding back the servicing part.

How does autotrack asset tracking help to simplify the tracking?
Once the servicing parts of the ship component is taken down from the ship, each component will be assigned with the 2D QR barcode. different parts will be delivered to different process examples like blasting and painting, carpentry job, machining services, mechanical services, electrical services, hydraulic services, CNC repairing depending on the faulty condition. If the maintenance task can be performed onsite, then the repaired parts will be installed back to its main compartment after repair, else the parts will be sent to a 3rd party repair center. Every repair task may involve more than one 1 part and the process may take more than 6 months. During the waiting period, the autotrack will automatically send out reminder emails to the person in charge in order to follow up the servicing status with different repair centers. It also gives the overview of the repair item. Before and after the repair photo will be kept for reference purposes in order to be proof for the customer reference purposes.
