Interax Software Modules

System Manager manages the resources within Interax. It is responsible for configuration options, authorizations and other general system functions. The power of Interax system manager allows Interax customers to manage all types of discrete manufacturing processes from a single software product.

Author enables a planner to create work instructions and routings for the shop floor. This module has many options for attaching information to the work instructions, editing and formatting the instructions and enabling the use of Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) within the instructions. All required and reference information that users may need on the shop floor can be linked electronically to a work instruction package, regardless of the source.

Work Manager enables a supervisor to "see at a glance" the status of all work orders on the shop floor. This module allows a manager to observe the status of work orders on the shop floor from anywhere and make the necessary changes to keep work moving throughout the shop. This supports daily decision making with accurate timely information.

Work Assistant provides the shop user with all information required to do their job on a single, easy to read screen. It also enables data collection on the shop floor such as buy offs, measurements and part/lot traceability information. Shop users can also track their labor, initiate non-conformance requests, put tasks on hold, leave notes for others that will work the job and communicate electronically with manufacturing engineering.  

Integration Engine provides an interface from Interax to external systems. It has extensive capability to connect to other systems for the purpose of transferring data to/from Interax. This module integrates Interax into the technology infrastructure of a plant.

Tool Manager manages the tool crib and the tooling needed for shop floor tasks. It can manage assets from tools to consumables to gages and fixtures. It manages kitting for specific work orders as well as reorder on low inventory of consumables. The recall feature tracks calibration dates/usage and can be used to monitor shelf life of volatile materials.

IE Manager is a 'sand box' for Industrial Engineers to enter times for each shop floor operation or unit of work and perform 'what if' scenarios based on optional events.

Generative Logic automates routine tasks. For example, there are routine tasks that need to be performed in a Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (MRO) environment based on the service life of a part or component. Generative logic can be ued to create a uniquely tailored order for the MRO shop based on the current condition and life of a part.
