Interface Overview

The ShopVue-Syteline interface (svSyteline) allows you to “front-end” your Syteline system with a state-of-the-art shop floor data collection and control system.

The svSyteline interface automatically downloads from Syteline the necessary information for accurate data collection, order tracking and efficiency reporting. Soon after Operators report transactions on the shop floor, svSyteline uploads information like direct labor charges and quantities produced and scrapped to Syteline.

Ultimately, the svSyteline interface enables Syteline to display your updated order status, additional actual labor, and production quantities.

Validation and Error Handling

ShopVue uses Production Order information from Syteline to interactively validate each Operator entry. For example, if ShopVue knows a standard in Syteline is 100 pieces per hour, ShopVue can warn an Operator if she attempts to report a quantity that is less than X percentage (user-defined) of this standard.

The svSyteline interface validates these entries again when it updates Syteline through its JOBTRAN table. In the unlikely event that an error “slips through”, svSyteline returns the error to ShopVue for correction and automatic reposting.

Features

Changes Only

The Changes Only feature ensures ShopVue will only download new orders and changes to existing orders, limiting network traffic and speeding download time. Seconds after planners input that new "hot job" into Syteline, Operators can begin working on the job in ShopVue.

Automatic Operation

ShopVue-Syteline interactions happen automatically at frequent intervals. If either system is temporarily unavailable, the svSyteline interface queues transactions until a connection is reestablished.

Corrections in ShopVue with Delta Logic

Supervisors can make corrections to operator transactions in one place – ShopVue.  svSyteline uses delta logic along with its export history to transmit the correction to Syteline to keep the two systems in synch.
