I've been working on inventory and tracking for a while now. I notice that quality of data is a big thing. A couple of the issues I've had, are incomplete data, a reluctance to work on it until the first of the year (now passed) and no easy way to link components of a system.

Now, that's mostly embedded systems I'm talking about. PC/Network
issues are really just being addresses. Manufacturing Production
Systems are often some combination of PCs, microcontrollers, PLCs and
various instrumentation and associated software. Ensuring some linkage
between these "sub-projects" is beneficial.

I was favorably impressed by the Database tool that TAVA Technologies
had. If we hadn't completed most of the inventory by the time it came
to market, I would have strongly recommended it. It permits you to
describe your entire system by component (down to the chips). And
they'll take your data and analyze it against their growing DB of
compliancy information. Of course, it doesn't come cheap, but that is a business issue.
