The system that catalogues 83 antiquities at present is aimed at providing quick information about an antiquity linked to the software, saving storage space and ensuring improved preservation of the objects of historical significance.

The Advanced Antiquities Management System (AAMS) is a software-driven automated storage used for the storage of various objects.

So far it has been used for storage of industrial equipment but the decision of Goa’s DAA to use it for storing valuable antiquities is the first such in the country.

The AAMS will ensure safety of antiquities, clean storage space, access control and data management and also enhance utilisation of space. The AAMS is placed at Goa’s DAA in Panaji.
