Web service enables job information sharing between ERP/MES and shop floor software
Wintriss Controls Group has introduced a new data-sharing capability for its ShopFloorConnect® OEE and downtime tracking software. The new application program interface (API) is a SOAP 1.2-based web service that automates job queue management and data transfer between the scheduling functions of existing ERP/MES software and the ShopFloorConnect software/hardware.
The new API allows the software to gather the next-job information from the existing scheduling system and send it directly to the machine-mounted controller, thus enabling paperless management of the production schedule. As jobs are completed, the API gives the software the ability to report part counts back to the ERP/MES in real time.
The software displays real-time status information for all machines on a PC or mobile device’s web browser. It automatically generates and delivers reports showing OEE, production, and downtime summaries.
