Flexibility, Readily Available Production Data, Ease of Use
Use PC-Topp Anywhere You Like
PC-Topp gives users flexibility, as it can be used at any workstation on the plant's LAN. Thus, a planner can access PC-Topp from any PC, no need to go back to his own workstation. On top of that, all of PC-Topp.NET's Intranet pages can also be used in the following ways:
The system is usable across a plant's WAN: Remote parts of a plant can be fully integrated into the site.
A group of plants connected in a WAN can access order progress and production results from any of the sites anywhere on the WAN.
PC-Topp.NET can even be used via the public Internet: A planner can resolve an emergency from home, management can access the latest production figures, or salespersons can check order progress and capacity from on the road.
PC-Topp.NET meets all the technical requirements for multi-site planning. Thus, it is of course also easy to show, print and actively modify schedules in a separate production building or at a subcontractor, connected via LAN or over the Internet.
Access All PC-Topp Data in a SQL Server Database
When this optional feature is installed, all live PC-Topp data as well as production history data is made available in a SQL Server database. With just minimal delay the data is at hand for further processing according to the wishes and necessities on site and can be used for production reporting, statistics or any other kind of production figure overview.
The database also stores production data in archives that make it easy to look up production data even years after it has been accumulated.
Perfect Integration of Job Cards and CAD Drawings
Users can access job cards and CAD drawings on any PC in the corporate network. When an order is shown on a PC Topp.NET Intranet page, a simple click on a link can open a spec sheet complete with drawings, a graphic of the printing dies, or the die-cut forme. And the user is sure to always have the latest, up-to date version, while paper can get old unnoticed and quickly. The most frequently used file type is Adobe Acrobat PDF, any other file type, any Windows document or application can be linked to any of the fields of an order.
Fresh and User-Friendly Design, Ease of Use
The PC-Topp.NET user interface was designed to make the system easy to operate and immediately understandable:
A lean, uniform page layout leaves ample space for the data and presents it clearly and attractively. Shortcuts and functions relevant to the contents of the page are bundled in toolboxes which present all important page functions in a unified, well organized way. The color coded menu structure helps you to find your way in the system and shortcut letters on the menu pages allow you to use your keyboard to navigate the page – no need to use the mouse.
