Electronic Checklists for Industry 4.0: Exchange Even More Data

Burghausen, 28.03.2018 – New Solutions GmbH, a medium-sized provider of software solutions for the digitization of business processes on the "shop floor", has considerably expanded the capabilities of its checklist software for electronic data exchange: Checkware can now not only be connected to any data systems. Users can also integrate significantly more master data into their electronic checklists than before. Also: The app version is now also available in the Windows Store.

"Electronic checklists are increasingly being used for the digitization of business processes and the implementation of industry 4.0 initiatives in production and quality management. That is why we have supplemented our standard checklist software with the latest requirements from industry-related areas such as production and quality management," explains Christian Ehrenschwendtner, Managing Director of New Solutions GmbH. New Solutions has more than ten years of experience with electronic checklists in industry. 

Connection to any data systems
With the new Checkware Connector module, the checklist software can now be connected to any data systems, including SAP / ERP systems, Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) and Quality Management (QM) systems. The Checkware Connector supports functions such as requesting data, initiating workflows, transferring data to other systems, etc. The advantage for users: Information can now be integrated directly from other systems with a mouse click or a pointer. Before, for example, it had to be pre-fixed into the checklist or entered manually when filling in the form.

Synchronize and select more master data
Additional systems also means more data. That is why New Solutions has extended the selection and synchronization options of its electronic checklists. Users can now synchronize order numbers, product descriptions, batch numbers, and so on, with the systems mentioned.

Additional form elements 
Since users usually create forms and checklists themselves, the Checkware Designer module has also been enhanced. The new version is not only clearer and almost self-explanatory, but also offers more formatting options so that users can create checklists that are more attractive. The required form elements can be placed in the worksheet by drag-and-drop and optimized for different device sizes.

App version now also available in the Windows Store
Checkware is also optimized for mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. With the App version, users can complete their digital checklists both online and offline on their smartphone or tablet PC. A new version of Checkware App 4.0 is now available in the Windows Store. Previously, users could only download them for free from Apple's App Store and Google Play Store. Interested parties can also test a free demo version of the app there. 

Summary

Checkware supports the digitization of business processes and the implementation of industry 4.0 initiatives in production and quality management. The checklist software can be connected to any data systems. Users can integrate significantly more master data into their electronic checklists than before. The app version is now also available in the Windows Store.
