The Preactor Viewer can be used for:
- On a shop floor PC to provide the cell supervisor or machine operator with up to the minute work-to-lists generated by the master Preactor system and to log completions for use by the scheduler to monitor progress and initialize the system prior to a re-schedule.
- Linked with bar-code readers they can take information automatically from a barcode on a route card or other paperwork that provides electronic updates to the master Preactor system.
- In the sales or supervision staff offices to track the progress of existing orders or and new ones as well as compare actual with scheduled completion times.
- As an Order Promise System which sends out enquiries to multiple plants and decide the allocation.
Viewers can also be used to carry out ‘what if’ testing of different scheduling scenarios. Changes to the schedule however will not be saved since this is reserved for the master Preactor system.
