Integra Analytics
™
Customized, real-time dashboards turn your business data into business intelligence.
To compete in today’s global manufacturing environment, a manufacturer has to
have tight control on its production and supply chain, and high quality is a must. Your
management team needs to be one step ahead of production, and the right product
has to come off the production line right the first time. You can’t afford delays or
rework when you’re competing with best-in-class manufacturers.
Epic Data’s Integra Analytics
is a robust analytics and
dashboard tool that provides
management control and
displays critical manufacturing
information in meaningful,
visually-descriptive formats.
To keep production running
smoothly amid the inevitable
changes and adjustments,
production supervisors need
a sweeping view of the overall
operation, with more details at
their fingertips.
With Integra Analytics, you have detailed information about parts and materials location, workflow and production
metrics, available machinery and labor resources, and the customer’s requirements—all in one place, all
up-to-date, with all the details needed to make informed decisions.
You receive continuous updates on production requirements and material status. You see work order progress and
product quality statistics. You can view production line status indicators, or drill down to see details on a work
center or all the way to the individual work cell.
Most importantly, you’ll be alerted to issues while you still have time to correct them.
You’ll be warned of potential parts shortages, incorrect parts delivery, and quality deviations before they impact
production. From Integra Analytics, you’ll be able to adjust workflow, substitute parts or resources, and dispatch
maintenance teams to keep production running smoothly.
Integra Analytics
™
In addition to managing day-to-day operations, Integra
Analytics can display Key Performance Indicators—the
metrics your corporate management uses to gauge overall
manufacturing performance. At a glance, everyone from
employee to supervisor to senior executive will know how
manufacturing operations are measuring up against the
company’s strategic goals.
Epic Data’s Integra Analytics helps you to extract and
visualize the critical information you need for efficient
control of your manufacturing operations.
As manufacturing processes become more complex with
vast amounts of information, Epic Data’s Integra Analytics
mines the critical information you need and delivers the
visibility essential to optimize your production schedule,
deliver high quality product and maximize your profitability.
“The Analytics solution is critical to the operation of
our Transportation department and has helped us
eliminate many manual processes and integrates our
financial, asset, engineering, work and GIS information
to meet our operational decision support needs.”

View Integra Analytics on any device including phonesAlarms and other trigger events can be sent to mobile devices or smart phones
and tablets, so you stay informed while on the shop floor or in remote locations.
Notification of materials-related issues can be sent directly to purchasing and logistics
staff, or even the supplier, to shorten the time it takes to resolve the issue.
UniView Terminal
™
The Epic Data UniView
™Terminal is an industrial-strength touch screen terminal that
securely runs any application, whether it’s Epic Data’s manufacturing or warehousing
solutions or an ERP, SCM or WMS system.
The modern, space-saving design lets you conveniently locate the
cost-effective UniView Terminal in virtually any environment including:
• Aerospace • Automotive • Heavy Equipment • Heavy Transportation • Warehousing
• Food & Beverage • Retail
• Hospitality • High Tech
• Pharmaceutical Government
Flexible, open architecture
Its thin client architecture is an open platform that can support any application deployable on a browser whether it’s one of Epic Data’s manufacturing solutions or an ERP, SCM, CRM, or WMS application.
Secure, protect your data and investment
Network security is improved as exposure to viruses and mal-ware are limited by tight control of the software components on a
centralized boot server. Terminals can be configured to only boot from or connect to specific application servers limiting the exposure to unapproved applications. A centralized terminal image also ensures that the latest version of an application is deployed thereby reducing system management costs by eliminating the need to support individual devices.
When data security is required, the UniView Terminal architecture can be configured to process each field on the application server ensuring that no information is resident on the terminal or saved to an external storage device through the terminal.
Arm your workers with real-time information
Along with the integrated data entry options, capturing information is easy. The dual prox card and contactless smart card reader, barcode reader port and touch screen speeds up data input while reducing input errors.The UniView Terminal’s simple design allows for easy hardware maintenance, quick unit replacement and uses standard VESA mounts.
Key Features of the UniView Terminal
• Thin Client Architecture • Large 10.1” color TFT display • Built in speakers
• Ruggedized, fan-less, disk-less design
• Ideal for shop floor, offices, warehouses & retail
• Wireless and mobile • Touch screen
• Built in Prox card reader • Space saving dimensions
“The UniView Terminal that
we use for time reporting
and inventory movement
provide the tough, rugged,
yet sleek exterior perfect for
the factory setting where
the temperature and dust
can sometimes cause
problems for other units.
We have found them to be
quite functional and reliable
as well.”

IntegraTrak
™
IntegraTrak helps manufacturers to track, manage and efficiently move selected
materials and assets. It provides real-time item location and status that improves
production efficiency, avoids costly delays while reducing safety stock.
IntegraTrak lets production workers expedite material flow and maintain
high productivity by capturing, in real-time, parts movements in stores,
in transit and on the shop floor. Production workers and managers can
quickly solve logistics problems, or expedite materials to keep production
lines running.
Track items in IntegraTrak for your manufacturing
operations:
• Receiving – Unique identifiers or serial numbers are assigned to each
item or group of items. Bar codes, magnetic stripes, or RFID tags can be applied to identify each item
• Storage – IntegraTrak keeps track of the item’s location for quick
retrieval, including storing newly received raw materials inventory, sub-assemblies, finished goods and spare parts and tools/ moulds/dies to be used for production at a later date
• Movement – When items are moved from one location to another, IntegraTrak captures the work orders item identifier, its new
location and the user performing the move
• Shipping – As each item is delivered, IntegraTrak saves an audit trail of the move history for the order/item enabling the
performance and accuracy of the logistics process be measured and reported
Optimize Production Throughput and Quality
IntegraTrak users capitalize on the real-time and historical item data captured by IntegraTrak. • Locate missing parts – production workers and managers quickly located misplaced items
that would otherwise result in:
• safety stock that drives up inventory costs
