Online Access
NDS Online has been designed and built from the ground up as a Web-based software solution; it makes the ideal platform for connecting to customers, suppliers, and employees over the Internet.
Bar Coding
NDS Systems has been an industry leader in bar coding on the shop floor. It's one of our key strength areas. While other vendors have minimal bar coding capability or achieve lack-luster results with "add on" packages, NDS Online has bar coding built in. NDS Online's bar coding, which supports hundreds of standard and specialized bar code formats, is fully-integrated into the application itself, which is the only way to achieve the true benefits of bar coding. Bar codes are used for inventory tracking, shipping/receiving, tool tracking, gage tracking, labor time and attendance, and other areas.
PLC Integration
NDS Online integrates with Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) that monitors and control production machinery. NDS Online can be integrated into a variety of machinery, including, but not limited to the following:
- Weigh Scales for inventory and shipping/receiving
- Automatic Packaging Machines
- Automatic Storage and Retrieval Systems (ASRS)
CAD Integration
NDS Online provides seamless integration between the part dimensions inside the CAD file and the part specifications in the NDS Systems database. The part specifications drive the FMEA, Control Plan, Process Instructions, Check sheets, SPC, Gage System, Part Layout Forms, and so on. NDS Online is the only application on the planet that provides this level of paperless linkage between engineering, quality, and production.
