ERP INTEGRATION
Which solution fits you best, depends on the ERP system and on the functionality you want to work with on the shopfloor. Actemium will support you in reaching the best results. There are three ways to reach optimal integration from the back office towards your shopfloor.
ERP integration suites
The RFGen ERP Integration Suite enables companies to easily integrate data collection processes with their ERP systems, using the business rules provided by the ERP supplier.
These business rules are what the ERP system itself uses to process transaction updates, and the use of these rules is the preferred method for interacting with your system. By allowing easy access to the approved/pre-defined functions as well as their management and usage, the RFGen ERP Integration Suite greatly reduces the complexity of developing enterprise data collection systems.
In fact, because RFGen’s ERP Integration Suite uses only industry standard protocols, developers will see substantial reductions in development time, project complexity, and installation support. Also, while other products require users to purchase source code, use ‘C’ code, or worse, learn complicated propriatery languages, the RFGen ERP Integration Suite allows companies to ‘truly’ take ownership of the data collection processes. RFGen ERP transactions are completely transparent, allowing developers to quickly and easily make changes based upon new data collection needs or future ERP releases.
Why Use The ERP Integration Suite?
Most companies have realized that data collection applications have very little value unless they are integrated 'real-time' with their existing business systems. In practical terms, this means that creating a seamless, scalable, reliable connection between new ADC applications and the core business server is essential not only for the success of the ADC implementation, but for the business as a whole.
Typically, this is not a new challenge for many companies. Previous integration requirements were most likely based on proprietary technologies. Unfortunately, these companies usually found that developing, implementing and supporting these proprietary systems was anything but straight forward.
STANDARD TRANSACTION SETS
To facilitate the development and deployment of your automated data collection system, RFGen provides a number of pre-written, validated transactions for your ERP system. Using these transactions as a starting point, companies can get a jump-start on their ROI (Return On Investment) for data collection. Here are some of the transactions available…
• Inventory Adjustments • Inventory Issues
• Inventory Transfers • Item Re-Classification
• Cycle Count Update • PO Receipts / Routing
• Pick / Pack Confirmation • Shipment Confirmation
• Work Order Processing • Material Inquiries
Shopfloor applications
Extensive predefined functionality is based on years of experience. Specific for the solution you look for, Warehouse, Production and Field Force functional packs are available.
Ensure optimal leverage from your earlier investment in ERP or other management systems by realising a 100% between the work floor and these systems. Actemium developed a solution on the basis of its proven track record. The purpose is to optimise your processes on the work floor.
Based on years of experience in a range of industries, basic transactions have been defined and incorporated into a series of suites. The Production Suite, Warehouse Suite, and Field Force Suite were developed on the basis of this knowledge. We can easily accommodate further wishes and adaptations to match your processes.
