Job Record Card and Image Scan

The existence of a Record Card enables a new Works Instruction to be raised in seconds.

This is an impressive module for the Carton and Packaging Industries and other businesses where jobs are known by unique part numbers or codes and are frequently amended and re-printed. Each record card has the complete production specification for its job, plus the Finished Stock code, plus many other useful features.

There is total integration with the Finished Goods Stock and Works Order Processing and each record card maintains a history of all previous jobs, estimates, alterations, comments, etc. Even a physical picture of the job can be scanned in and viewed on screen.

Features

• Many thousands of files may be handled at speed. 50,000 has already been exceeded on one site.
• 49 digit identification code line. User defined and may be split into three fields.
• Format your own card layouts with the 60 user defined specification fields. Each field may be cross integrated with Works Instructions, Rapid Order Processing and Report Generation.
• You may have multiple card formats, each directly integrated to its own design of Works Instruction. (For example a booklet would require quite a different set of technical fields to those required by a carton.)
• An optional Film-Logging System.
• Fully automated audit trail of related jobs and estimates.
• Full optional audit trail of all movements on the film log.
• Audit trail of all narrative comments.
• Option to use an existing card (or a template) to open a new one.
• Option to automatically create a Finished Stock Card on opening a Record Card.
• The file codes for the Record Card, the Finished Stock Card and the Film Log are identical. When you know one you know all three. Information could not be easier to find.

Scanned Images

Scanning an image into the file takes less than two minutes. The scan is converted from a memory hungry bitmap to an Imprint image file, thus saving a great deal of memory. You may hold several images against the one record card, (e.g. a layout sheet and the last three production copies).

Those who use this feature, in the world of Blister Cards, Labels and Cartons, find it immensely useful. They even hand write quantities and comments on to the images before they are scanned.

The standard Imprint sort-filter-find engine helps to short list relevant record cards at great speed no matter how many thousands you may have.
