Predator Integrations™

Integrations between Predator and ERP, MRP, MES, CAD, CAM and other 3rd party applications facilitate data sharing and eliminates redundant typing and incorrect data. Typically jobs, parts, operations, personnel, departments, customers, vendors and other details are shared.

Predator ERP, MRP, MES and CAM Integration Services

There are thousands of different ERP, MES, PLM and other business systems sold worldwide. Each one has different integration options. Over the years, Predator Software has developed a number of integration methods which can be used. Refer to the following examples:

ECI JobBOSS integration with Predator DNC, Predator MDC and Predator PDM Overview

Within this integration, support for JobBoss job numbers, part numbers and operation numbers are automatically transferred or validated to the Predator MDC or Predator MDC Enterprise database in real-time. Support for the Microsoft Access, Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle versions of Predator MDC and Predator MDC Enterprise is included.

JobBoss and Predator PDM or Predator PDM Enterprise Integration

JobBoss and Predator PDM or Predator PDM Enterprise have been integrated to create a paperless manufacturing experience on the shop floor. After shop floor personnel scan a JobBoss traveler/router. Predator PDM automatically launches providing the released version of the correct CNC program(s), setup sheet(s), tool list(s) and other manufacturing documents automatically. Real-time integration is 100% automated.

Within Predator PDM or Predator PDM Enterprise further integration with Predator DNC, MDC, Tracker and Virtual CNC provides real-time machine communications, machine monitoring, manufacturing data collection, 3D machine simulation, 3D CNC verification and integration with tool, gage and fixture management.

Typically, a shop floor PC is mounted at each CNC, CMM, robot or test stand for operation of Predator PDM. Printing of paper-based routers and bar code readers is eliminated with this real-time integration method. Support for the Microsoft Access, Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle versions of Predator PDM and Predator PDM Enterprise is included.

NOTE: Support for the Microsoft Access and Microsoft SQL Server versions of JobBoss are supported.
