It may be received, stored off-site, transported to on-site storage, installed, and tested. During construction, there are obvious advantages to knowing where each piece of equipment is at any given time. During operation, the owner of the project needs to know the status of equipment during operation and be able to find the proper operating and maintenance information when required. We have completed a trial system on a wastewater treatment plant project that uses bar codes to track equipment from receipt to installation, and then is used to interface with an electronic operation and maintenance (O&M) manual. The O&M manual can be accessed in a variety of ways, including bar codes on the equipment, selecting the equipment on electronic drawings, and pointing and clicking on digitized photographs. The interface to the electronic O&M manual can be a valuable added service to the owner.  \nKeywords: Bar codes, construction, information technology, data collection  \n1 Benefits of bar code tracking  \nBar coding is incredibly fast and error free compared to standard keyboard entry of data. With a laptop or smaller computer, it is possible to have an encyclopedia of information immediately accessible. With bar code technology, one quick scan can perform complex computing operations or yield instant access to information on particular equipment such as location, status, specifications, submittal data, etc. For example, a construction superintendent in the field would need only to turn a  \nnotebook computer on, scan a bar code, and end up logging current time, location, site conditions, or even pinpoint a certain item in a huge database and review the appropriate specifications or specification manual.  \nManufacturing companies recognized the potential for increased production using bar codes over a decade ago. Bar coding is often the primary foundation to computer automation of manufacturing. A bar code system integrated with automated material handling helped General Electric reduce the manufacturing time of aircraft engine components by 30% and boosted productivity by 50%; boosting production from 207,000 units to more than 320,000 units with essentially the same work force (Pashall, 1986) . Additional benefits included reduced cycle times, reduced work-inprogress inventory, and nearly perfect work-in-progress tracking accuracy.  \nMerchandise distribution companies also recognize the potential of using barcodes for increasing production capacity. As Elizabeth Arden’s business grew, the traditional solution for increased capacity was to add more workers at their primary distribution center in Roanoke, VA. However, the faster the workers picked merchandise for shipping, the longer it took to get orders out the door (Field, 1997) . Bar coding proved to be the core of the solution. A Code 39 bar code is automatically assigned to each order the moment the order is taken from the customer. Bar code scanners are strategically placed along the conveyor system, from empty carton stage to the end of the dock, as well as on all forklifts, for permanent tracking through the entire process. Radio frequency (RF) communication with all scanners permits realtime tracking of all cartons as well as real-time inventory management from any terminal in the facility.
