Unity Real Time Polling TNET Edition (RTP)
The Unity Real Time Polling TNET Edition (RTP) integrates with the Unity Data Collection Suite and optionally with the ComputerWise TT5 Series Terminals to create a sophisticated serial communications based data collection system. It uses the serial communications on a private network. It validates the data as it is entered at the shop floor against the actual live Unity, TIW WorkShop, and/or accounting system data.
Software Features
- Links to Unity Data Collection Suite: Shop Floor, Inventory and Time Module, Populating the Preview External Post Files. Supports links to TIW WorkShop, TIW ALERE LAN, TIW ALERE CS, ACCPAC Pro Series, ACCPAC VisionPoint, AccountMate VAM/LAN, and AccountMate VAM/SQL.
- Validates Entered Data Against TIW WorkShop and Accounting System Data. Data is Validated at the time it is entered. Validation includes verification that TIW work orders have been FPO'd (A process of releasing a work order otherwise known as a Firm Planed Order) and have not been closed. Additional validation includes quantity validation and specific data validations. Quantity is validated as to only allow numeric values. And, zero quantity is not allowed on transactions where zero would not be a valid number, such as an issue or a receipt. Whereas on a physical inventory transaction, the zero may be a valid number so it is allowed on those types of transactions. The specific data validations occur for items such as employee badge numbers or item numbers. Depending on the specific setup, RTP will look in the appropriate database to validate entered data against those databases.
- Auto-Create Post Feature: Automatically creates the TIW WorkShop external posting file at a timed interval for posting in WorkShop.
- Automated External Posting function. At a user defined timed interval, RTPe can now optionally post the external post file in TIW WorkShop.
- Default Intervals for Auto Posting feature keeps a default interval time that is used for the auto posting features. This default is established in the setup screen and is used each time the Auto Posting to TIW or Auto Create Posting screens are used.
- Auto-Start Feature, automatically starts the polling network when the software starts. You can optionally specify in the setup screen to have the program automatically start the following features when the software is started: Polling Network, Auto Create Posting, and Auto Posting to TIW.
