Atlas RFID Solutions, a provider of field-mobility and automatic-identification solutions for industrial construction, has released an upgrade to its flagship product, Jovix, that the company says enhances the visibility of information and enables more granular management functionality. Overall, the upgrade is designed to help customers flag and resolve material-readiness issues before they impact direct labor productivity.

Jovix is an RFID-enabled construction-management solution that includes RFID readers and tags (see Omni-ID, Atlas RFID Offer New Rugged Active Tags). The solution improves overall project efficiencies, the company reports, by enabling positive material control, via access to actionable, up-to-date information regarding the availability, status and location of materials in the global supply chain.

The 2015.1 release of Jovix includes enhanced business intelligence dashboards and reporting capabilities, which can be configured to provide value for a wide range of stakeholders throughout the material lifecycle, according to the company. The key value of this new release is an expansion of the ability to quickly turn vast amounts of data into actionable information, which is displayed in a single convenient location.

This latest release also includes new features aimed at improving the ability to identify and resolve issues before they impact construction, according to Atlas RFID. The functionality included in the new release allows clients to enhance the value of their data through automated processing and graphical, exception-based presentation, the company reports. This provides visibility and accessibility to all stakeholders in a single shared view, making projects more efficient. Jovix 2015.1 includes a dashboard with configurable, personalized widgets that automate the process of highlighting issues on an exception basis in a graphical, easy-to-consume format. A series of reports linked to the dashboard charts and graphs enable users to quickly drill down into issues and initiate the resolution process, thereby saving time and money by increasing productivity and efficiency on the jobsite.
