Managing construction equipment, vehicles, and machinery efficiently is crucial for project success, TactCPM offers a robust, integrated platform for comprehensive equipment management, covering everything from equipment definition and maintenance to fuel consumption, utilization, and detailed reporting. By digitizing and automating these functions, TactCPM ensures optimal equipment performance, reduces downtime, and helps in cost savings.

Key System Functions for Equipment Management:

1. Equipment Definition and Configuration:

• Digital Equipment Repository: The system provides a centralized, digital repository for defining and managing all types of construction equipment, vehicles, and machinery used in the project. This includes detailed information such as equipment type, make, model, capacity, registration number, chassis number, and other technical specifications.
• Custom Attributes and Categorization: Users can define custom attributes for each piece of equipment and categorize them based on type, function, or usage (e.g., earthmovers, cranes, batching plants, dumpers, trucks). This enables easy search, retrieval, and reporting.

2. Vehicle Service and Maintenance Records:

• Automated Service Scheduling and Alerts: The system tracks service intervals and schedules preventive maintenance based on usage, hours of operation, or manufacturer recommendations. Automated alerts and notifications are sent to the equipment manager and teams for upcoming or overdue services.
• Maintenance Cost Tracking: The system tracks and records all maintenance-related costs, allowing for better cost control and analysis of equipment operating expenses.

3. Service Log Book:

• Digital Service Records and History: Maintains a digital log of all service and maintenance activities for each piece of equipment, including details of the service performed, parts replaced, labor involved, and associated costs. This provides a complete service history for reference and auditing.

4. Day Begin and Day End Logs:

• Day Start and End Logs for Vehicles: Captures day begin and day end logs for each equipment/vehicle, recording essential details such as starting time, location, operator, fuel level, and any issues reported. This ensures proper handover and accountability.
• Automated Daily Checklists and Inspections: Supports automated daily checklists for pre-start and end-of-day inspections, ensuring that vehicles are inspected for safety, fuel levels, and any operational issues before and after daily operations.

5. Equipment Log Book:

• Automated Equipment Usage Logging: Automatically records equipment usage details, such as operating hours, start and stop times, and operator details. This data is captured either manually or through IoT sensors (enhancement) integrated with the equipment.
• Currently, System is integrated with BlackBox (A Company) IoT sensors for realtime information on equipment location, fuel, running/idel and other parameters.
• Real-Time Data Entry and Updates: Allows site personnel to enter and update equipment usage data in real-time, ensuring accurate and up-to-date log book entries.

6. Fuel Consumption Log:

• Automated Fuel Tracking:Integrates with fuel management systems to capture real-time data on fuel consumption, refueling events, and fuel usage efficiency for each piece of equipment or vehicle.

7. Equipment Daily Progress Report (DPR):

• Automated Daily Progress Reports: Generates daily progress reports for each piece of equipment, capturing key metrics such as total operating hours, work completed, downtime, fuel consumption, and other relevant parameters.
• Real-Time Monitoring and Reporting: Offers real-time updates on equipment performance and status, helping project managers monitor progress and make data-driven decisions for equipment allocation and usage.

8. Mileage Tracking:

• Accurate Mileage Calculation: Tracks mileage for vehicles based on GPS data (enhancement), distance travelled, and fuel usage, providing accurate mileage information for each trip or assignment.
• Efficiency Analysis and Optimization: Analyses mileage data to identify trends, optimize routes (enhancement), and improve fuel efficiency, leading to cost savings and better fleet management.

9. Utilization Reports:

• Comprehensive Utilization Reporting: Generates detailed utilization reports for all equipment, capturing key metrics such as operating hours, idle time, downtime, and work completed. These reports provide insights into equipment efficiency and productivity.
• Performance Benchmarking: The system allows for performance benchmarking of similar equipment, helping identify underperforming assets and optimize equipment allocation (enhancement).

Additional Features for Enhanced Equipment Management:

• IoT and Telematics Integration: Integration with IoT devices and telematics systems enables real-time monitoring of equipment health, usage, and performance. This data-driven approach supports predictive maintenance and reduces unplanned downtime. (enhancement)
• Alerts and Notifications: Automated alerts for key events, such as maintenance due dates, abnormal fuel consumption, equipment breakdowns, or overutilization, enable proactive management and quick resolution of issues.
• Customizable Dashboards: Provides customizable dashboards for project managers and equipment managers to monitor equipment status, utilization, maintenance schedules, and operational efficiency in real-time.
• Data-Driven Decision Making: Advanced analytics tools provide data-driven insights into equipment performance, maintenance costs, and utilization trends, empowering managers to make informed decisions to optimize equipment usage and reduce costs.

Unique Selling Proposition (USPs)

• Improved Equipment Utilization: Provides real-time visibility into equipment availability and utilization, allowing for optimal allocation and reducing idle time.
• Enhanced Maintenance and Reliability: Automated maintenance scheduling, detailed service records, and predictive maintenance capabilities help reduce equipment downtime and extend asset life.
• Cost Optimization: Efficient fuel management, accurate mileage tracking, and maintenance cost analysis help in controlling operational expenses and reducing overall project costs.
• Greater Transparency and Accountability: Digital log books, detailed reports, and automated workflows ensure full transparency and accountability in equipment management.

Compliance and Safety: Ensures compliance with safety standards and regulatory requirements through automated inspections, service records, and digital documentation.
