Wireless Manufacturing Software
Wireless manufacturing software is here and there's no going back. The PDA and smartphones are changing the way the plant level systems report shop floor data. You no longer need to wait until Friday to get the information you want about operational efficiency, downtime, scrap or job performance. There is a new generation of browser based shop floor reporting tools which can make your manufacturing data available any where and at any time.
Highly configurable systems are outpacing canned systems and providing a path for innovation. Advancements in browser based technology are enabling agile deployment strategies.
Manufacturing software helps manufacturers improve production performance by providing visable control and reporting across the enterprise.
The browser has made shop floor reporting easy to implement and migrate across multiple plants within the manufacturing enterprise. Changes that once required programming staff to fly around the country to implement at the plants are now done in minutes across the corporate intranet via thin client browser based systems. This allows manufacturers to roll out plant specific modifications in no time and handheld browsers are now beginning to take part in the new technology charge.
Handhelds and smartphones contain browsers which can access the corporate intranet and a lot of ERP and MES vendors are taking full advantage of the technology to show off their agile manufacturing systems. Companies like Tuppas, ShopFloorReporting.com and Demand ERP are rolling out highly configured systems fast and furiously. If you're into technology these companies are definitely worth watching. They represent a new breed of highly configurable enterprise software company.
