A TIW Technology Preferred Integration Partner Since 2000.
Unity Real Time Polling Ethernet (RTPe)
The Unity Real Time Polling Ethernet Edition (RTPe) integrates with the Unity Data Collection Suite and optionally with the ComputerWise ET205 and ET215 Terminals to create a sophisticated Ethernet data collection system. It uses the industry standard TCP/IP protocol for communications. It validates the data as it is entered at the shop floor against the actual live Unity, TIW WorkShop, and/or accounting system data.
New to Version 7.2
- Auto Post To TIW Manufacturing Changed the Auto Post To TIW routine so it would set and acknowledge the new DELMARK flag which was added to the ALERE Mfg v9.1 External Posting file.
-
Auto Post To ALERE Accounting
The all new Auto
Posting to ALERE feature provides users with an automation for the posting
of Inventory Transactions into ALERE on a timed interval. The new
feature works similarly to the existing Auto Post features where users enter
a time in minutes for the interval between postings. The net result is
that posting into ALERE can happen continually throughout the work day as
transactions are being scanned into the system.
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.
