NCDOT Product Data Flow
Overview
NCDOT uses Idencia to capture and collate product data provided by Precast and Prestressed producers. Data flows from the Producer's Idencia database, to NCDOT's Idencia database, and finally to NCDOT's Highway Construction and Materials System (HiCAMS). Below is a brief overview of how and when this data is transferred.
- Product data are entered by the Producer into the Producer's Idencia database
- Once every hour, data captured in the Producer's Idencia database is transferred to NCDOT's Idencia database. Only data captured since the last transfer is sent.
NOTE: Unless additional configuration is completed in your Idencia Management Portal, ALL data you capture in your Idencia database will be transferred to NCDOT's Idencia database. If you capture information for jobs not associated with NCDOT, and you would like to transfer ONLY data related to NCDOT products, contact your Customer Liaison for assistance in configuring your system to send only NCDOT data to the NCDOT database. - Product Inspection data are entered by NCDOT inspectors into the NCDOT Idencia database
- Every night at approximately 8:00 pm, completed product inspections are transferred from NCDOT's Idencia database to NCDOT's HiCAMS system. A Field Inspection Report (FIR) is created for each inspected product.
- Field Inspection Reports are approved by NCDOT Supervisors
IMPORTANT NOTE: Products can not be accepted on an NCDOT job site without an approved Field Inspection Report in HiCAMS. A passing inspection recorded by the NCDOT Inspector while on site at your plant IS NOT enough for the product to be accepted on the job site. The project's Resident Engineer MUST find an approved Field Inspection Report in the HiCAMS system in order to recieve your product onto the job site. Please verify an approved Field Inspection report exists prior to shipment.
