The ShopTrac^™ to MRP/ERP Connection
Manufacturers require proper data integration and management among in-house data collection systems for efficient operation. One of the essential connections is between shop floor data collection and material resource planning (MRP) and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. MRPLink provides this indispensable link, providing a two-way data connection between Kronos ShopTrac and MRP/ERP systems.

What are the MRPLink Advantages?

Save Time and Money
Eliminate double keying of information by automatically transferring thousands of transactions with a single keystroke. MRPLink updates ShopTrac and MRP/ERP systems on demand, so managers reap immediate benefits. Shop floor scheduling and processing time are managed quickly and more efficiently.

Intelligent Software That Makes Intelligent Decisions
Much more powerful than a simple data translator, MRPLink analyzes the data it receives and creates specific, appropriate transactions. When parts are completed, MRPLink writes a WIP record. When parts are scrapped, MRPLink writes a scrap record. MRPLink has the ability to include or exclude data from transfer, depending upon given constraints.

Modularity Provides Custom Functionality
MRPLink's modular design allows custom functionality. Depending upon company requirements, MRPLink can accommodate differing needs -- piecework count updates and associated labor, or total number of parts completed, parts scrapped, and their associated work centers. MRPLink allows system criteria to be tailored to a company's specific requirements.

Flexibility for Updates and Changes
Parameter-driven software combines the flexibility of custom programming with the lower costs of off-the-shelf packages. Policy changes are accommodated quickly and easily. Software version updates are available immediately at no extra charge with the purchase of maintenance coverage.
