ANLOG Tracking and Tracing

Monitoring and Reporting System for Machinery and Project Logistics

The ANLOG logistics software is converted on the basis of a portal concept using internet technologies. Portals facilitate intelligent solutions for data access and data management. The employment of internet technologies ensures that the software can be used via the internet/extranet with a standard browser.

A portal is a web-orientated application system, in which tables of contents and services can be offered clearly to a specific target group. By using it in a web browser, access can be created irrespective of place, which can be extended by a multi-channel function to different terminating equipment.

A portal is dynamically constructed and thus more than a pure link collection. Besides search machines, the contents and services integrated into the portal also include navigation, data integration, personalizing, notification, information/knowledge management, workflow, application integration, and infrastructure services.

The system architecture of ANLOG is so constructed that it can meet the requirements of a uniform and transparent access to the entire logistic services at any place, at any time, with different terminating equipment.

The Presentation Logic is encapsulated in the Client Tier. Users obtain access to ANLOG by means of standardized clients.

The application is provided already prepared for and according to the user’s individual needs, task and language requirements. The user can also make adjustments at any time to suit his personal wishes. Furthermore, a variety of terminating equipment can be operated – from PC / Browser (HTML, XML), mobile ‘WAP Handy’, to Handhelds. Access to required information is gained via components, which are picked up by means of the Component Access Layer (CAL).

The Server Tier provides the actual application logic. It represents the core of the application (program module):

User/right management

Report generation/configuration

Order data
