ADMET Press Release
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ADMET Concrete-Traker manages concrete testing and certification
process
Automates the generation of compressive strength reports and posts findings
to private
Web portals…
NORWOOD, Mass. – July 15, 2003 – ADMET Inc., a provider of integrated
materials
testing systems, today introduced a database program designed to facilitate
the testing
of concrete cylinders and the distribution of test reports. Called Concrete-Traker,
the
software program manages the entire testing process to accurately report
test findings to
construction managers and clients. Its innovative Web portal reporting capabilities
save
days of turnaround time, as well as labor and postage costs, by replacing
next-day
package delivery services with instant access to reports over the Internet.
Recognizing that testing labs often require customized reports for different
clients and
projects, ADMET has designed Concrete-Traker with a flexible data presentation
format.
Just as lab personnel can redesign printed reports, Concrete-Traker lets
users order and
format reports using project-specific layouts and templates.
Concrete-Traker manages the entire testing process
Designed to bridge the gap between field sample collection, lab testing and
results
reporting to clients, Concrete-Traker handles daily specimen management in
concrete
testing laboratories. It allows users to assign a unique set of specimen
and job numbers
for each concrete cylinder and enter field data, such as supplier, mix design,
date/time,
placement location, temperature, slump, air content and other factors, to
create a
tracking file.
In the lab, Concrete-Traker imports compressive strength results and break
types from
the concrete testing machine via an RS232 serial port. When imported, Concrete-Traker
automatically aligns the compressive strength results with the field data
to produce
compressive strength reports in paper or electronic form. Reports also highlight
specimens with low 28-day breaks. The net result is a reduction in the cost
to produce
compressive strength reports and the elimination of data entry errors.
Web reports give instant access
Compressive strength reports can be automatically posted to a password-protected
Web
portal where onsite construction management, client management and other
authorized
personnel can view the results from their Web browser. This eliminates days
in the
testing cycle and significantly reduces express postage costs.
“ Accurate, timely concrete testing is a critical process for many construction
projects,”
commented Richard Gedney, ADMET founder and president. “It’s
inherently complex
because samples have to be gathered onsite, brought to a lab, tested, evaluated
and
reported. What Concrete-Traker does is eliminate unnecessary steps and costs
while
presenting better data more quickly by using the latest technologies.”
Concrete-Traker is available immediately. It is end-user priced at $495 and
is available
directly from ADMET. Concrete-Traker works with ADMET manufactured digital
data
collection systems, which includes testing machines from Forney, Testmark,
ELE
Soiltest and others.
