In today’s digital age, it is crucial to keep pace with the times, which is why we have our own department staffed by several software developers who are currently implementing the solutions that the market and our customers require for their production processes. The integration of production machinery with computers used in work planning, as well as computer workstations in the office and order management systems, is now standard practice, and this involves the use of servers and cloud technologies. Process monitoring ensures that all components—such as machines and their parts—communicate via a network and report their respective statuses automatically or on demand, so that those responsible are kept informed at all times. The key tasks for ensuring such a seamless process are:
Integrated | scanning | printing | transferring | identifying |
acquiring | label | configuring | programming | developing |
labelling | storing | managing | saving | communicating |
Industry 4.0
That is why we are already working on a client-server architecture/cloud server (64-bit/SSL encryption) with user management and authentication systems based on usernames and passwords, featuring various permission levels. Clients (desktop PCs) can communicate with it via a web interface using browsers such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, and Microsoft Edge, as well as with smartphones or tablets running iOS, Android, and other systems. Concurrency achieved through asynchronous control of server logistics enables fast processing times for client-server requests and operations. The system is built on multiple frameworks.
All of this will make it possible in the future to monitor the production of an entire machine system in real time on desktop PCs, smartphones, and tablets from anywhere in the world, wirelessly via the Internet. In the distant future, this may even lead to the development of artificial intelligence (AI) controlled via the Internet of Things (IoT).
The practice! Your benefit:
Hundreds of customers are already using URBAN Software Solutions in their internal production workflows. We manage every aspect of the internal production process and communicate with your window manufacturing software by exchanging data. We also communicate directly with machine controls, such as those for welding and glazing systems, screw-fastening systems, and more. We manage wing buffers, control distribution buffer systems, and work with you to develop the best strategy for logistics and order management, ensuring that your production runs smoothly, quickly, and efficiently! We also provide real-time monitoring of various production system components in a virtual environment. We log your production data and read and manage data records from your window manufacturing software. Modern PCs with industrial-grade configurations, paired with wireless or wired scanners, are set up and delivered ready for use, so your employees can focus on production and keep everything under control. Changes to the configuration and parameters can be easily made using a modern, customizable interface. New technologies enable the display of customized views in a contemporary style.
All of this comes from a single source, ensuring that your company can operate smoothly and that you always have a complete overview of the entire production process. Today, data integration and consolidation are essential!
