Understanding Manufacturing Automation With IQMS (DELMIAWORKS)

There is a recent drive, in manufacturing, towards operating a leaner and more efficient manufacturing business. The introduction of customised automation, designed for manufacturing shop floors, and offered at an affordable price tag, is ushering in this move towards lean manufacturing.

Automation in manufacturing can take many forms, from complex and robust distribution systems to a simple pallet wrapper application. By integrating applications into your manufacturing ERP software, customer programmes can be created to streamline production.

There are two key options for developing automation applications: teaming up with your existing ERP software vendor, or developing your own internally.

IQMS, a leading ERP software and MES system vendor, has a team of dedicated team of developers and programmers called the Automation Group who can make automation a reality and integrate your shop floor hardware with IQMS’s software. For manufacturers who prefer to develop automation solutions themselves, the whitepaper explains how these customers have used IQMS’ special WebAPI development kit to create their custom applications. The WebAPI development kit includes a specific list of EnterpriseIQ web services that enable developers to encapsulate core EnterpriseIQ logic with the JSON data exchange format.

As well as detailing the specific options, IQMS’ whitepaper also provide a number of specific user cases where customers have either teamed up with IQMS’ Automation Group or used the WebAPI toolkit to improve automation across their manufacturing operation.

In this whitepaper IQMS outline the benefits and challenges associated with each option.
