Development of a geographic information system for monitoring work with customers for the supply, maintenance and automation of elevator equipment for LLC «Expert-Agro»

Abstract

As part of the production practice in LLC «Expert-Agro» developed a geographic information system (GIS) for the supply and maintenance of the produced elevator equipment. In the MS Access system, a database of customers has been formed that contains the names of enterprises, addresses and coordinates of their location, contact information, information on orders (purchase, delivery and installation of equipment, maintenance of existing equipment, repair work, etc.). At the same time, a message is automatically generated when the day of completion of the order approaches, which allows you to control the efficiency of working with customers and, if necessary, extend the lead time of the order. In the MS Visual Studio integrated environment, using the gmap.Net library, geolocation was implemented to display customers on the map, which makes it possible to assess the geography of LLC «Expert-Agro» and plan further expansion of interaction. Controlling the location of customers also provides a solution to logistical problems for the supply of equipment. The system additionally provides for the selection of process parameters sensors, actuators, control controllers with input / output modules and other devices for automating the supplied equipment. At present, the GIS database is being filled with information on manufactured equipment and devices that are used in standard automation projects.
