Jetcam’s CrossTrack 5 tracks materials by length, quantity, weight, and volume

Jetcam Intl. s.a.r.l. has announced a new release of CrossTrack 5 software, with several new features and options available. The new version supports tracking of different material categories, such as length (rolls), quantity (sheets), and weight, or volumetric items that require life tracking, such as resins. This allows assemblies (templates) to be created and then applied to a kit, including a complete bill of materials, each item of which can then have both location and (if relevant) life tracked and logged, with full traceability reports instantly available.

Optional alerts provide automatic notification of events to specific users, such as material stock with short or critical life, kits approaching cure-by date, or nests being cut. These alerts can be passed to third-party external apps, allowing for Industry 4.0 communication and automation.

Other options allow for complex series of operations to be created, along with default durations, which can then be associated with an assembly; and deliver tight integration and data exchange with systems such as MRP.
