TrackAbout Module
Module Name: Gas Analysis
Short Description TrackAbout’s Gas Analysis module helps eliminate paperwork by validating, recording, and attaching analysis information to a production record. TrackAbout has a simple user interface to add analysis rules and associate them with the products that need to have these tests performed.
Supported In: TAMobile 5, TAMobile 6 Rugged, TAMobile 6 Desktop, TAMobile Android, TAMobile iOS
Business Process: Production
← Back to list

Overview

The TrackAbout Gas Analysis module allows users to enter gas analysis information into a handheld mobile device. The software can be configured to manage a variety of analytes (such as concentration, moisture content, or presence of an odor) and the rules that pertain to each.

From the mobile device, the system will ask the user for the appropriate test results based on the gas being filled and alert the user if the recorded analyte passed validation by displaying either a “pass” or “fail” message. Analysis results are saved and linked to the lot number and fill records of the utilized cylinders.

Set Up

  • The first step is to setup the analytes that you will be testing. These are set up through the TrackAbout Website.
  1. Navigate to List Analyte Types under the TrackAbout Config menu option. NOTE: If you do not have this menu option, you will need to contact TrackAbout Support to enable this feature.
  2. Click Create New Analyte Type
  3. Name the Analyte
  4. Choose whether users should be allow to write in a value for this analyte (TEXT) or if the user should be given a list of drop down values (DROP DOWN).
  5. Leave the Analyte set to "This analyte is active".
  6. Click Save.

This is a common list of analytes that each future analysis rule can draw from. Examples of analytes might be:

    • Oxygen concentration
    • Odor present
    • Moisture content
AddNewAnalysisType.png


  • The next step is to setup the gas analysis rules from the TrackAbout website:
AddNewAnalyteRule.png
  1. Navigate to List Analyte Rules under the TrackAbout Config menu option.
  2. Click Create New Analyte Rule.
  3. Name the Analyte Rule.
  4. Select which locations will use this Analyte Rule.
  5. Choose which Products will be subject to this kind of analysis.
  6. Add the kinds of Analytes that will be tested for this analysis. The user will be asked to set the acceptable range for values collected during the analysis. Any value that falls outside this set range will be considered a "FAIL".
  7. Click Save.

Gas Analysis on TrackAbout from a Handheld

The screens below are referring to the TAMobile 6 version of the mobile software.

  • From the handheld computer, the system will ask the user for the appropriate test results based on the gas being filled and the user's location.
GasAnalysis HandheldScreens A.png
  • The handheld will alert the user if the gas failed analysis.
GasAnalysis FailedAnalysis.png
  • The analysis results are then saved and linked to the lot number and fill records of the cylinders involved.


  • With some custom software development, a certificate of analysis that includes your logo and other custom layout requirements can be created using this gas analysis data.

Analysis from Fill

An Analyze button can be added to the end of the Fill action to allow operators to conduct analysis immediately following a Fill without having to choose the Analysis from the main menu.
