Highly digitalized systems in networked systems enable the permanent exchange of real-time information of machines with software systems. A new A+W interface between glass storage and A+W ERP system makes use of these possibilities.
Thanks to the new A+W Gantry Interface, time-consuming synchronization, deviating inventories, and complicated manual corrections of glass inventories in the base glass storage are a thing of the past. With this interface, employees in purchasing have an up-to-date overview of the inventories in portal storage in the ERP stock system at all times. The synchronization interval can be configured at will. No more time-consuming manual stock information or corrections are necessary, not even for inventory.
With A+W Gantry Interface, users can synchronize inventories in glass storage systems from Hegla, Bytronic, and Lisec with the A+W ERP systems A+W Business, A+W Business Pro, and A+W Enterprise. Users can specify the interval for synchronization.
The storage is completely automated; the actual inventories in the glass storage are always depicted in the stock module of the ERP system. In particular, purchasing will profit from the A+W Gantry Interface: employees always know, based on current figures, which glass types they have to order.
