One of our project's objective is to study on a commercial database. So on 11/12/2012, Tuesday, we had a meeting with Ms Lee at 7:30 am. We are required to reach school early in the morning as we are having an online meeting with Mr Paul Reuz, a representative who will assist us in running through the Vertere Inventory Management System from overseas. Since he live in US, the time difference between US and Singapore is about 12 hours. That is why we had to conduct our meeting in the morning. The mode of meeting was through Skype.
The meeting started at 8:00 am. Mr Koh, our Process Control lecturer, joined in the session as well. Firstly, Paul Ruez gave us an introduction on the Vertere Inventory Management and slowly took us through the database. He showed us how the Vertere database works through an online presentation. We felt that the online presentation was carried out professionally. We experienced how the database actually works 'live'.
What we realised about the Vertere database was it has some of the ideal specifications of a database. However the database was too complicated as it requires alot of information to add in. More information on the Vertere Inventory Management System will be discussed in our FYP report.
Some of the features that the Vertere database has are the ability to track specific laboratory and building block, different level of roles/rights for security purposes, tracking of chemicals by barcode or location, minimum/ maximum management (eg. display the maximum quantity of a specific chemical in a lab. If the quantity exceeds the maximum limit, it will alert the user) and recording of inventory.
Stay tune for more updates on our FYP..
