Can it work without a 3D model?

Yes. We can visualize status using marked-up 2D drawings and link them to the items we wanted to track. We can also track the status of any item linked to the 2D drawing be it a cable tray or pressure transmitter or any items not found in a 3D model.

Can I set my own Stage gates?

Yes. The system is fully flexible, and you can assign any Stage-gate to any item. We can create any number of stage-gates, set them to any number of items and then use the hand-held to update them.

Does the system report in real-time?

The System automatically updates when the handheld device synchronizes with the primary database. This gives you an accurate picture of the live status of progress.

Can MODS Progress Tracker utilize my current system’s historical data?

MODS Progress Tracker allows Operators to utilize existing historical data by integrating it into the system. Additional tags or data can then imported and exported as this software is flexible and collaborative with external systems and can be used in the construction and deconstruction of scopes of work and projects.

Activity management challenges

For brownfield projects, operations and maintenance to run smoothly, countless moving pieces need to slot into place. Offsite managers often struggle to access and coalesce accurate, up-to-date information that drive strategic decisions. Manual systems suffer from errors and lack of integration, resulting in the following activity management challenges:

Unknown, incorrect or ambiguous real-time information status
Unverified status reports
Conflicting information
No traceability of status
Inability to raise timely queries
Lack of access to historical archives
No visual aid to help comprehension
Visualizing E & I (electrical and instrumentation) scope of work
Identification of bottlenecks or unfinished issues
Lack of remote access to information
Lack of single-source database, with data held in individual silos

Timeline & budgetary estimates

Project Schedules & Handover Goals

Transparency & Accurate Real-Time Reporting
