Finding an
integrated, easy to use shop floor data collection solution just got a
lot easier. Greaney Consulting, LLC, has developed a full functioned,
touch screen application that handles a wide range of data collection
requirements. The system will perform transactions such as clocking
in and out, record setup and will run labor against work orders, or
record labor directly against ledger accounts. The system is
completely and seamlessly integrated with your core ERP shop floor
system. Its design also allows for easy customization to your
business’s needs.
Easy
Transaction Data Entry
The touch
screen transaction system allows for simple data entry through your
choice of bar-code scanning of shop paperwork or employee badges, or by
simply touching the active button areas of the touch screen. The
following transactions are supported:
·
Clock-In/Clock-Out
·
On Setup/Off Setup – On Run/Off Run
·
Move Ticket In/Move Ticket Out
·
Personal Information and Employee History Inquiry
·
Indirect Labor Charges
·
Direct Labor Charges to Work
·
Orders, Projects or GL Accounts
The touch
screen system simply collects critical information and then automatically
performs the same real time validation as your standard ERP system.
Checks such as verifying a valid employee, work order, operation,
quantity, etc. take place before any transactions are created. If
errors are found in this process, the system immediately issues an error
message to the employee. If data entry is validated, the
appropriate transaction is created.
Administration
Capabilities
Included
in the data collection solution is an easy-to-use administration
module. This module is intended for those customers who wish to
review the data collection transactions prior to writing them directly to
the ERP system. In this module, an administrator can audit and
adjust any transactions that have not yet been posted to the core ERP
database. The system can be configured to populate an audit file
where transactions can be reviewed and then posted, or the transactions
can automatically be posted. If the system is configured for
transaction review, the administrator has a number of options in viewing
all transactions or just the error transactions and making appropriate
corrections.
Technical
Architecture
The core
application runs on an NT or Novell server and requires only a Netscape
or Microsoft Internet Explorer browser on the client PC. This zero
client footprint enables your IT department to make use of existing
hardware to utilize the application. When enhancements are made to
the application, only the software on the server needs to be updated,
saving your IT department considerable time and effort.
The system
can also be deployed across multiple plants; providing the remote sites
have access to the server the application is running on. This
provides a central collection point for all your labor tracking
requirements.
We
have utilized a flexible visual basic development environment that
provides us with an easy way to customize the application to your
specific needs. Your core ERP system requires no code changes to
support this application.
