The PR419AIRS vacuum lifter with integrated hoist improves functionality by integrating a sturdy Demag hoist into the lifter’s controls, creating a powerful glass hoisting machine. The tool weighs 180 pounds, and offers a 400-pound lift capacity. The air-powered lifter features 180[DEGREE SYMBOL] rotation and is capable of accommodating a two-inch thick load at full weight capacity. It has a vacuum gauge and green lift light, to indicate adequate vacuum level. When sufficient vacuum is achieved, the system automatically shuts off to conserve air and reduce noise. An advanced blow-off capability is included for quick and clean release of the load. For safety, a two-button system is used to release the load. An integrated vacuum reserve system provides vacuum for a short period, in case of power failure. It comes with vacuum and pressure line filters, spring-mounted vacuum pads and an adjustable lift point, allowing the user to optimize the load’s hang angle. Lifter and hoist controls are integrated into one ergonomic, sealed housing.

CenterPoint is the core module in WTS Paradigm’s field-based quoting system, storing all information about product pricing and available options, and incorporating a multi-level bill of materials. For some manufacturers, 80 percent or more of quotes come from dealers, and the system eliminates the need for any of these to be reentered manually, the supplier states. Quotes and orders feature engineering-accurate drawings. Drawings can create .dxf files, which are exportable to third-party CAD programs. In addition, the user can export layers of a drawing for use with specific equipment like glasscutters. The system supports versioning of product knowledge, modifying and revising on a daily basis if desired, as users receive the latest updates each time they log in. The software also stores specific construction details for each door or window, to assist with warranty repair work and other functions. Other features include dynamic filters, which notify users if they enter data that violates rules as they are preparing the quotes. Available 24/7, quotes and orders can be generated even if the system is down or the user is not logged on to the internet.

CustomProcess is a workflow automation module for more complex manufacturing processes based on non-standard orders. The module allows manufactures to systematically handle the process of estimating and quoting nonstandard orders. It also provides an approach for high-margin opportunities that can be addressed promptly and consistently by engineering, purchasing and other departments.

The MasterPoint application offers a more efficient way to handle your plant’s work schedule, shipment scheduling or purchasing department. It leverages information collected from CenterPoint to generate production schedules and shop floor paperwork based on each order and its related bill of materials, and can generate custom machine integrations. Special order material purchasing and receiving is supported through production floor bar coding. Shipment scheduling and loading, including accurate reporting of backorders is available. Invoicing is supported and is coupled with standard integrations to most popular accounting packages. Capacity planning and tracking is supported through the ability to accurately monitor individual work-center loads and assembly statuses throughout the production process.

TrackPoint is an inventory module integrating with inventory and materials management with CenterPoint and MasterPoint applications. It allows for accurate and real time stock levels and costing of the entire inventory. Materials can be tracked across multiple locations with support for item transfers, material labeling, cycle counts and full physical inventory counts.
