Design And Implementation Of Curtain Wall Materials Management System By Visual Foxpro

The building curtain wall started from1982, after30years of development, has become the world’s first curtain wall production country. In2003China produced about10000000extension curtain wall, about the world when the dosage of2/3or so, to2012our country has built about one hundred million square meters of all kinds of building curtain wall (including the roof) engineering, accounting for half of the world’s total more than. Compared with traditional construction, building curtain wall is a kind of external envelope structure and building technology, architectural art, architectural functions into one. Building curtain wall has become an important symbol of modern architectural culture, architectural character, architecture art, the new science.But in stark contrast to the curtain wall industry informatization process is low, resulting in building material waste of resources, not only increase the company’s cost, but also a heavy burden on the environment. Therefore through information means, with the aid of computer platform, designed to adapt to the material management system for curtain wall industry, through effective management, arrangement, indication, customized overall project planning, full account of all the possible cases, ensure material management order in place. According to the project management plan, custom materials, materials inventory use, related to the use of personnel database, coordinated, unified management that is known as the wall materials management. Curtain wall material management system is a typical data processing system (MIS), its core content is written form corresponding database and the maintenance as well as to develop application program two requirements. Compared to previous requirements to establish data isotropic and comprehensiveness, data confidentiality of the data source. And design software to the latter should possess powerful function, easy to use software. Combined with the actual material management requirements in the design, for the Visual Foxpro data processing software, the characteristics of VFP language, VFP data operation related to know the requirements carefully study, master more thoroughly. Even as the core is an in-depth study on the material management of each system module, operation module dividing each function, that we need software database corresponding to the structure, operating system. At present, according to the actual requirements of that wall materials management software can be applied to the supplier, curtain wall material staff and competent personnel at all levels of the material requirements, to adapt to the situation of material management in modern building curtain wall, the Surety Company can effectively manage the material inventory usage, but also to enhance the company’s benefit.The software developed using the Microsoft Corp’s VPF6visual operation, powerful, and linguistic features, the first step to build the initial model, and then continue to improve, in the process of updating software continuously, so that the more close to the actual requirement.
