Major Final Outputs
ASTI Infosys adopted
by PCASTRD
Development and
Commercialization of Locally
Designed Digital Wood Moisture
Meter for Bamboo and other
Non-timber Forest Products
(DWMM for Bamboo), On-going
The main project deliverable is a low-cost
and handy tool for measuring the moisture
content of non-timber forest products. The
project, jointly implemented with FPRDI
and Alexan, is a follow up to the DMM
designed for timber forest products, which
was well-received by the local woodworking
industry and is already commercially
available.
On its first year of implementation,
the team did a revision on the meter’s
circuitry. LCD design and fabrication were
completed. And board design and casing
were revised.
The final product is expected to be
released by the end of 2010.

Contract Research
Adoption of ASTI-Developed
Information Systems by the
Philippine Council for Advanced
Science and Technology Research
and Development, Completed
The Philippine Council for the Advanced
Science and Technology Research and
Development (PCASTRD) adopted the
Procurement and Inventory module of
the ASTI-developed Information System.
The three-month project involved the
customization of the Procurement and
Inventory module suited to PCASTRD’s
business process and policies.
The sub-modules that comprise the
Procurement and Inventory module are:
▪ Supplies Inventory System, which
allows the user (Supplier Officer)
to monitor the organization’s office
supply and generate reports;
▪ Equipment Inventory System,
which handles the inventory
of equipment and monitoring
of Acknowledgment Receipt of
Equipment (ARE) issued to staff;
▪ PR Form Generator, which is used
to input Purchased Requests (PR);
▪ ITB Form Generator, which allows
users to create and generate
the Invitation to Bid (ITB) Form.
Specifications of the PR indicated
in the PR Form Generator is
linked to this system; and
▪ Abstract of Bids and Canvass Form
Generator, which automates the
creation of the Abstract of Bids
and Canvass form. Specifications
of items for procurement stated
in the ITB Form Generator is
inherited by this system.
A training was conducted for PCASTRD
staff on how to use and administer the
system. The system was turned over to
PCASTRD on September 9, 2009.
