ERP Integration Services

TRACE-it from NOVEXX is a fully integrated software solution for central data and process management. It optimises labelling and identification processes in manufacturing companies across many different industries – whether it be marking of single products, packages or entire pallets.

Features

• Centrally manages all printing and labelling processes, through an integrated database with an interface to your ERP and MES systems.
• Managing a wide variety or printers and coders from a single software environment – irrespective of the printer technology, manufacturer and device type.
• Design and deployment of all labelling information along the entire production chain is centrally managed through one single tool.
• Flexible, adaptable and scalable.

With TRACE-it you can leverage your existing investment in label design and print management software, such as TEKLYNX CODESOFT, or other label design platforms, to build much more advanced management and control solutions for your production line, with real-time feedback and monitoring.

iDSnet is a next generation software solution with the power to transform your business. By integrating all of your coding, labelling and other end of line packaging equipment, such as vision systems, checkweighers and scanners, iDSnet delivers a more streamlined operation with quick changeovers, validation and error detection. 

With industry standard open connectivity, iDSnet allows you to integrate your coding, labelling and validation into your existing SCADA system to have truly centralised control.

By centralising the product database, iDSnet ensures the correct code, such as a barcode, datecode or batchcode, is always placed on the correct product at the correct time and that the correct packaging or artwork is in use. Because all coding, labelling and other devices are networked back to a central database, product changes are achieved down an entire production line with only one simple operator action. It’s completely seamless.

iDSnet can also use the Ignition platform to deliver OEE metrics across the production line. Ignition is a scalable software like iDSnet that can expand to become a true MES solution if your production environment doesn’t already have one.
