Scenario
For many years, the wild animal park grew successfully with paper-based record keeping combined with isolated computer-based procedures. Recently, however, employees noticed a number of redundant or inefficient processes, so the park staff decided to use AR System to automate the following processes:
- Tracking and managing animals associated with the park
- Tracking and managing public relations, such as attendance statistics, public inquiries, membership renewals, and group tour information
- Tracking and managing the maintenance of on-site visitor facilities, including snack bars, restrooms, first-aid stations, and park transit systems
- Managing the botanical gardens adjacent to the park
The park needs to accomplish these goals with the animal-tracking application:
- Track the type and number of animals grouped together in enclosures.
- Track births, deaths, acquisitions, trades, and sales.
- Track daily observations of each animal, including behavior and medical condition.
- Track the complete medical history of each animal, including preventive care such as dental work, vaccinations, and parasite checks.
- Track animal feeding.
- Immediately alert the veterinary staff about medical emergencies.
- Alert the animal handlers if any animal escapes its enclosure.
All these goals relate to tracking animals throughout their life at the park, as shown in the following image:
