RE: Requesting Info on Bar Code Data Collection Software for BPCS

        Chris,

        There are two program aspects to the product. One sits on the AS/400, 
and feeds the transactions into and out of BPCS. These programs do all the 
normal validation that the regular BPCS processes do. There is no need to 
modify these programs at all. The second aspect sits on the plant site servers, 
and is a simple to use scripting interface that consists of only a couple of 
dozen verbs. There is a one or two day course to educate a programmer how to 
use it. It is extremely straight forward after an initial exposure. All of the 
transactions that the users will be interfacing with are written and are 
maintainable through this interface. The product comes with a plethora of 
initial programs that serve as a fully functional, out-of-the-box interface for 
most of the common applications into BPCS. 

        We have also created custom applications for our environment via this 
method. For some, we did it our selves, for others we opted to get a 
consultants help to speed things up, but consultants are a luxury and not a 
necessity.

        PGloekler@integratedtechnologies.com would be a good contact to start 
with, as he has sales and service reporting to him. He could get you in touch 
with whomever would be best to answer your concerns.

        Good luck - feel free to contact me off-line if you wish.

                                                                                
                                                        Bill

        When you have to make a change or an addition to the dcserv 
program, do you need to have an outside source make the program change or 
is the change made by internal people who have been trained? We started 
out with Quicktrac, which worked ok but have since upgraded to the far 
more robust Cyposoft product and we have taken it beyond data collection 
to a variety of other things. We even have the ability to create shop 
orders on the plant floor from a hand scanner if we want to. So far the 
Cyposoft stuff has been working beautifully. I like the ability to map any 
AS400 screen to kick off reports or review data.

                 Debra,

                 We have been using the iWork dcServ product for years, 
and recently upgraded to their new release, which is called ADC. We were 
happy with dcServ, but are thrilled with the performance characteristics 
of the new ADC release. You can call me at 828.879.6620 if you would like 
to discuss the product from a user point of view.
