Solarsoft provides new integration with shop floor data

Solarsoft has released anew version of the Tropos process industry-orientated ERP system, with what's claimed to be enhanced SFDC (shopfloor data capture) functionality that works from goods receipt to customer despatch.

Andy Brown, managing director of Solarsoft's Process Manufacturing division, says that the system runs on industry-standard servers and uses a web-based user interface. It means that business-critical information can be pushed quickly to shopfloor users, whilst also providing visibility of relevant supporting information, such as material inventory levels through quick and simple stock enquiries. "The benefits of implementing a Tropos SFDC solution can be felt across the organisation," comments Brown. "On the shop floor, paperwork can be reduced through the use of online, continually updated work-to-lists, along with the removal of hand-written log sheets. Furthermore, efficiency and data accuracy are improved through data being recorded just once, entered data being validated immediately and keying errors being eliminated where barcodes or RFID tags are scanned."
