ModuOps Development Progressing

Contrary to what you see on this Blog, I've been moving forward with the software. In fact the software is likely to be used at the NE Free-mo setup later this month (January 2015) in its first large scale test.

Here's some screen shots so you can see what ModuOps looks like right now.

First step in getting the software going is to enter Car Types.

My hope is the format of the screens is modern looking and easy to read.

Here's the Module screen.

Clicking the "Consignees" button takes you to the details of the Module. Here you'll see a list of Consignees (Industries), Spots where cars can be set out, and a list of cars the spot can take. A track chart of the module displays a high level diagram of the module.

Next up is a Trains screen. This is where trains are created. The Route is selected form available modules and can easily be re-ordered. Crew Instructions are added here as well.

Below is a section of the manifest created for the train listed above.

As you can see things are looking pretty good right now.

I'm hoping to release an alpha in February with beta in March and 1.0 final before summer 2015. If you're interested in the software, bookmark this Blog to stay updated on the release schedule.
