# Material Tracking with IoT

## Overview

This skill implements IoT-based material tracking systems for construction projects. Track materials from procurement to installation using sensors, RFID tags, GPS, and connected devices.

**Tracking Capabilities:**
- Delivery tracking (GPS)
- Inventory management (RFID)
- Storage conditions (temperature, humidity sensors)
- Usage monitoring (weight sensors, counters)
- Waste tracking

## Quick Start

```python
from dataclasses import dataclass, field
from datetime import datetime
from typing import List, Dict, Optional
from enum import Enum
import json

class MaterialStatus(Enum):
    ORDERED = "ordered"
    IN_TRANSIT = "in_transit"
    DELIVERED = "delivered"
    IN_STORAGE = "in_storage"
    IN_USE = "in_use"
    INSTALLED = "installed"
    WASTED = "wasted"

@dataclass
class MaterialItem:
    material_id: str
    name: str
    quantity: float
    unit: str
    rfid_tag: Optional[str] = None
    status: MaterialStatus = MaterialStatus.ORDERED
    location: Optional[str] = None
    last_updated: datetime = field(default_factory=datetime.now)

@dataclass
class SensorReading:
    sensor_id: str
    reading_type: str  # temperature, humidity, weight, gps
    value: float
    unit: str
    timestamp: datetime
    location: Optional[str] = None

# Quick inventory check
def check_inventory(materials: List[MaterialItem]) -> Dict:
    """Quick inventory status check"""
    inventory = {
        'total_items': len(materials),
        'by_status': {},
        'by_location': {}
    }

    for m in materials:
        status = m.status.value
        inventory['by_status'][status] = inventory['by_status'].get(status, 0) + 1

        if m.location:
            inventory['by_location'][m.location] = inventory['by_location'].get(m.location, 0) + 1

    return inventory

# Example
materials = [
    MaterialItem("MAT-001", "Rebar 12mm", 500, "kg", "RFID-001", MaterialStatus.IN_STORAGE, "Yard-A"),
    MaterialItem("MAT-002", "Concrete C30", 50, "m³", None, MaterialStatus.IN_TRANSIT),
    MaterialItem("MAT-003", "Steel Beam HEB200", 20, "pcs", "RFID-002", MaterialStatus.DELIVERED, "Yard-B")
]

print(check_inventory(materials))
```
