HI - Perhaps someone can explain what would be some of the issues to
deal w/ in this sit.

A Manufacturing of consumer products wants to put in a process control
package. First of all, is there no AS/400 Solution? What the package
does is it has scales attached to a PC, could be a workstation, on a
Unix based system. This system monitors and provides a truly accurate
record of the Mfg. workers production. This is needed for quality control.
Currently, there is no computerized aspect of this. OK, now the ERP is
AS/400 based. There seems to be this dread and worry about the synchronization.
How would this work? As a batch system, I would think that there is an
FTP file upload.
Perhaps someone has a very similar first hand knowledge and experience
that they could share ?

Thank you,
Sam
