Why RUBY Connect 4 Flow?
Digitize your job preparation with the new W&H connectivity module
The connectivity module RUBY Connect 4 Flow provides a fully automated, bi-directional workflow from your central ERP/MES system to your W&H machines.
It allows experts to prepare the job with all relevant machine parameter settings like temperatures, tensions etc. conveniently from the office and to send all this data digitally to the subsequent job level of the different machines. There you only have to select the next job from the list and all machine parameter settings are already done at the push of a button.
This not only saves time and prevents errors but also allows a complete new way of working by centralizing your know-how into your ERP/MES system and to transfer it then digitally with Connect 4 Flow to the different machines.
