Questions about OpenMETRIC's External Systems Interface

6.   External Systems Interface

6.1

How does your system interface with Fluke Met / Cal software (Automated Calibration Software)?

 

Data gathered by MetCal can be attached to the Calibration record for an Item.  When the attachment is launched, MetCal is launched to view the data. 

 

6.2

How does your system interface with Northrop Grumman SureCal (Automated Calibration Software)?

 

Since one of our long-term clients was recently acquired by Northrup Grumman, we are currently reviewing and defining system interfaces with SureCal. 

 

6.3

Can your system interface with JD Edwards Requisition and Procurement System?

 

We have not previously interfaced with this specific system, but do not foresee significant obstacles to accomplishing an appropriate interface, especially, if both OpenMETRIC and the JD Edwards system use the same RDBMS (e.g. Oracle or SQL Server). 

 

6.4

Can your system interface with FactoryWorks (Manufacturing Execution System) distributed by Brooks Automation?

 

We have not previously interfaced with this specific system, but do not foresee significant obstacles to accomplishing an appropriate interface, especially, if both OpenMETRIC and FactoryWorks use the same RDBMS (e.g. Oracle or SQL Server). 

 

6.5

What statistical software does your system support or interface with?

 

For interval analysis and adjustment, OpenMETRIC is seamlessly interfaced with IntervalMAX.

OpenMETRIC also includes some “mystery buttons” which allow the user to launch other applications directly from OpenMETRIC.  For example, one of the “mystery buttons” is on the Calibration screen and is often used to invoke an uncertainty calculator or analyzer. 

Most clients extract data from OpenMETRIC and manipulate the data in Excel or other readily-available tools with statistical and graphical capabilities. 

 

6.6

How does the system interface with Chart Recorders?

 

Some clients simply retain their Chart Records and refer to them when necessary. 

Other clients have implemented an RS-232 or other appropriate interface between the OpenMETRIC client and the Chart Recorder so that data can be transferred electronically to OpenMETRIC and made a permanent part of the calibration records for servicing. 

 

6.7

What other systems can you interface with? 

We interface seamlessly with QuikPDR from C. A. Motzko & Associates.  QuikPDR provides an electronic catalog of nearly 50,000 categories (manufacturers and models) of equipment together with information about accessories, specifications, fair market value, etc. 

We have announced our intention to provide seamless interface with SAP for organizations that need to integrate OpenMETRIC into their Enterprise Resource Planning system.
