\"IQMS'<\/a>IQMS<\/a>‘ Automation Department has some\u00a0additional exciting projects to tell you about. In the\u00a0first part of this blog series<\/a>,\u00a0I mentioned some inside information on the latest technology coming out of the Automation Department, such as RealTime\u2122 Process Monitoring<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Android tablet applications<\/a>. Now I’d like to jump right into some applications that are also sure to be a hit.<\/p>\n

Weigh Scale Interface:<\/em>
\nAbout two years ago, when the IQMS Automation Department first started on some customized solutions, a customer\u00a0asked if we worked with weigh scales.\u00a0We had worked with scanners, PLCs and several other serial type devices, so\u00a0after reviewing the technical documents for weigh scales, the project\u00a0was an easy integration for our development team. Recently, the application has become somewhat of a hit.<\/p>\n

Here’s what it does: Your users come up to a touch screen\u00a0computer and choose what item they would like to count … by weight!\u00a0The application\u00a0looks at\u00a0our EnterpriseIQ manufacturing ERP software<\/a> and, based on your user specified Bill of Manufacturer (BOM<\/a>), calculates the weight per part (including the individual components, packaging and inserts), minus tare weight.\u00a0The user clicks the weight button and as soon as the scale reads a value, the calculation is instantly performed and the application displays how many parts are sitting in the box on the scale.<\/p>\n

If the part quantity matches the BOM specification, the user sees green. Otherwise, they see red.\u00a0Very simple!\u00a0From here, the user clicks\u00a0one button to print a label and perform a transaction into inventory. As a developer, I love\u00a0it when people ask how to use an application, what changes they can get integrated into it and what else can we add to it.\u00a0This is one of those applications that has had a lot of movement lately and I can see why.<\/p>\n

CMM Import Tool for SPC:\u00a0 <\/em>
\nAttention SPC<\/a> users who use CMM machines! IQMS has spent no small amount of time and collaboration with CMM software vendors\u00a0to create an application called the CMM Import Tool for SPC. This application allows users to map their SPC parameters to the output files generated by the CMM software. When the CMM machine completes a cycle of measuring parts within its part program, it simply calls our application with the output file and the data is instantly imported into a new SPC inspection subgroup!\u00a0If you’ve been re-keying data from\u00a0your CMM application into our\u00a0SPC module, then\u00a0this application is your new best friend!<\/p>\n

Shipping Manager:<\/em>
\nThe last application that I want to mention is, believe it or not, one of the largest ongoing projects at IQMS.\u00a0IQMS has developed native support for the UPS and\u00a0FedEx shipping carriers, which only a few application vendors in the world have done! Titled Shipping Manager, the application is incredibly complex underneath the covers, but to anyone using UPS or FedEx applications currently,\u00a0this is your ticket to a seamless, all-in-one solution.\u00a0The full integration allows IQMS to give our users the flexibility of using their favorite carrier without having to track data, print labels or\u00a0copy addresses, shipments, carrier documents, etc.\u00a0in a separate application!<\/p>\n

Hopefully one of the projects listed so far in this series\u00a0piques your interest. If you have a project in mind and are serious about having the manufacturing plant of the future, we’d love to develop something for you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
