The PPS System
The PPS system is a multi-user capable web based solution and allows simultaneous work of the team. While a dispatcher distributes an order, a machine manager would be able to add new machines. At the same time the order or machine status can be displayed on terminals in the production hall. Another user would meanwhile be able to create a report about the production process.
The report generator integrated in the PPS is based on the Birt software and uses additionally loadable report templates for it.
The Stoll machines with the corresponding operating system support an autoproduction mode, which enables an unattended production. For this purpose, a separate EVP must be purchased for the machine. This option also includes safety switches, which are to be mounted at the rear panel of the machine to protect the workforce from unexpected starting machines. The orders generated at the PPS for this mode, can automatically be scheduled by the PPS in any case but they can only be processed in an automated way if the EVP is present.
