CUSTOM HARDWARE:

Plant Alarms / Buzzer Control

The Buzzer Controller (Hardware / Software) can be programmed from any machine on the network to fire a buzzer (shift start/end, lunch, break, etc) at set times. Over 60 Alarms can be programmed to fire in one of three patterns + one variable length sounding, on selected days of the week. The hardware also comes with one (standard model) aux relay controller that can be programmed to turn on or off at preset times. This hardware allows you to sync your network time with the buzzers in your plant / timeclock.

CUSTOM APPLICATION LIST:

In use in some of the largest automotive platers, coaters, and chemical suppliers in North America.

    The Software Artist is a custom software design and programming firm. Many different applications have been produced on a wide variety of computer platforms. We have been creating and constantly improving software targeted for plating companies since 1989, suited to their particular requirements. With over nine years of experience creating plating software we understand the complexities of different plating processes, testing procedures, etc.

Labworks - Finishing / QC

Labworks - Finishing / QC is designed for use in an industrial finishing environment. The name suggests that the application is only applied in the lab, but over the years Labworks has grown in features and functionality to include many areas. Over nine years in development, and currently in use in some of the largest automotive finishers, and well known job shops in North America, Labworks - Finishing has proven to be an indispensable tool.

Production Applications

These various applications were designed to address the problem of not being able to get up-to-the-minute quality control, and production information. This section gives an overview of some of the applications written:

    

- Production: Production Reports, FTQ Graphs, Production Scheduling, Schedule Attainment, Resource Usage, Resource Utilization, Opportunity Lists, Problem Solving, Preclean / Strip / Racking Logs, Production Adjustments, Cost of Quality, Buffing / Polishing Reports and Analysis, etc.

 

- Production Viewer: Production Tracking, Bar coding of product, Inspection/Rejects) allow you to watch your production line from anywhere in real time (production, rejects, Quality graphs, reports. Some customers even have sections for; security camera images, who's currently punched in, phone call tracking, etc)

Human Resources / Punch Clock / Payroll

Human Resources / Punch Clock allows your employees to punch in and out, break down there hrs into job classes. This information is used for payroll, and also interfaces with various production applications we produce. (labor costs / bar, etc.) It also included many human resources functions and employee management, Attendance Tracking, Employee Incident Tracking, etc.

Inventory / Tank Solution Value

Labworks - Inventory was designed to provide a way to track product purchases and usage's with extensive history. This application’s unique abilities are ideally suited for a manufacturing environment. Tested and used for over five years, it has proven to be a very effective tool in inventory cost management for plating companies.

Shipping & Receiving / Invoicing

Labworks - Shipping & Receiving was designed to track product flow into and out of a manufacturing facility. The application covers; Shipping, Receiving, Invoicing, Supplier/Customer Information, Incoming Inspection Logs, Tooling Logs, and QS Approval Tracking, Emailing of shipments, etc.

Production Counter (Hardware / Software)

The Production Counter counts switch hits (limit switches, light curtains, etc) and stores the switch number, date, time, count, elapsed since last hit in a database. The software allows for a delay before re-trip for parts that may have holes / cutouts. The standard model will monitor six switches. This product has many uses, and can even be custom ordered to provide variable current input, temperature, etc. Information from the microcontroller can be fed directly to the web for real time anywhere in the word machine monitoring.

Phone System Call Logger

The Phone System Call Logger works with the Meridian Phone System (and can be adapted to other phone systems) It tracks all calls made to and from your phones. The system logs the call date, time, duration, extension used, phone code used, number dialed, caller ID name (incoming calls) or Lookup name (Outgoing calls)

Corporate Screen Saver

The Corporate Screen Saver displays a RTF screen for the named day (Monday, Tuesday, etc.) in a scrollable window. Keep everyone informed of production goals, attainment, or any information. Screen displays information for a set period, then turns black. On any action the information page is re-displayed until a key is pressed or the mouse is moved.
