Cleveland, Ohio - April 21, 2003
Rockpile Solutions announces a key strategic partnership with Integrated Barcoding Systems (IBS) of Ann Arbor, Michigan. IBS is the maker of the QuikTrac AS/400 Screen Integration tools and their significant integration expertise extends Rockpile's GlyphStream Enterprise Data Server platform to AS-400 ERP & MRP systems like Mapics, BPCS, PRMS, CMS, and JD Edwards World software applications.
"Integrating real-time, accurate data from the point of transaction to a user's enterprise system is the critical difference in a company's profitability," said Andy Jacobs, President of Integrated Barcoding Systems.
Traditionally, data collection to AS-400 systems has been done with custom built legacy data collection applications with DOS based terminal emulation barcode scanners. Rockpile Solutions' GlyphStream EDS platform combined, with IBS' QuikTrac integration tools, now brings the latest barcode, data collection and reporting technology to AS-400 users.
Dave Vislosky, VP Operations for Rockpile Solutions comments, "Partnering with IBS adds value to Rockpile's GlyphStream Data Collection Solutions by extending our integration capabilities for our wireless and web-enabled Windows CE / Pocket PC and RFID data collection applications in the areas of shop floor control, production reporting and industrial mobile solutions. In turn, we provide value to IBS clients who require SAP R/3 integration and Windows CE / PocketPC and RFID applications."
The GlyphStream Enterprise Data Server is a complete, single-point, data collection and reporting platform that seamlessly integrates all enterprise data collection activities including barcode scanning, key entry, RFID, asset tracking etc. with a client's enterprise ERP, WMS and/or MRP data system.
