Live Data from Production
Employees use industrial PCs or mobile devices to report the latest data. Once they start a new operation, the previous one is automatically marked complete. All masks have been geared to your business processes. To save time, you combine multiple postings in one operation by means of special functions, for example, if a sequence of operations is to be processed or several machines are to be used.
Enter Movements Straight Away
