New Data-Sharing Capability for Asset- Utilization Software Wintriss Controls Group
Booth S4221
Metal Service Center
Wintriss Controls Group, Acton, MA, introduces a new data-sharing capability for its popular ShopFloorConnect asset-uti- lization software. The new application program interface (API), a SOAP 1.2-based web service, automates job-queue man- agement and data transfer between the scheduling functions of existing ERP/MES software and the ShopFloorConnect soft- ware/hardware. The new API allows ShopFloorConnect to gather next-job infor- mation from the existing scheduling sys- tem, then send it directly to the machine- mounted ShopFloorConnect interface controller—thus enabling paperless man- agement of the production schedule. As jobs are completed, the API gives ShopFloorConnect the ability to report part counts back to the ERP/MES in real time.
