This allows you to set-up the complete operational environment. This covers users, profiles, work-stations, balances, printers, label format files, system parameters and general system functionality.

This allows you to raise lot numbers, print barcoded Lotno labels and manage the QC status of lot details. All data fields are available in all label printing procedures across all programs.  The user can nominate which data is to be included in any label format. Labelling is available in all programs.   Lotno data can be automatically downloaded using the Interfaces from your ERP system.

You can raise work orders, dispense materials, print barcoded labels and generate production reports. Other features include, the adjust next item facility, excipient item processing, must-weigh-prior item and sequencing options. As each new site is installed other features will be developed.  Work order (batch) data can be automatically downloaded using the Interfaces from your ERP system.

We have expanded the Manufacturing module to include a number of new features for various sites.  Each site can decide to use a fixed PC or a Radio Frequency (RF) scanner program for these activities.  The radio frequency (RF) version of the manufacturing module eliminates the need for a fixed PC in the Mixing, Manufacturing or Volume Transfer rooms. The RF scanner program can run on different RF scanners, such as Intermec, Symbol etc. 

During Manufacturing, the user scans the work order (batch) to mix or manufacture.  Then the barcode each Dispensing label is scanned, to confirm the correct material is being used.  The material's Lot Status and Expiry date are checked to ensure they are still OK.  This extra Lot confirmation is incase the Dispensing occurred a few days beforehand and the Lotno has now expired or been put On Hold.

We have developed a number of reports to review QC, formulation and production data. The reporting module allows the user to include additional reports which they can develop on-site themselves. Once a report is included in the 3WS reports directory, it is immediately available for use via the normal security login procedure.

Each material can have a Stocktake Cycle nominated.  Then the user can develop a Stocktake Plan to include various material cycle groups, location range or specific materials.  A report can be printed to prepare the user for the stocktake.  However this report is probably not necessary, as the RF scanner is then used, to scan each Lotno and Location in the Stocktake Plan.  The actual count of the materials at that location is also entered.  Various enquiry features are available during this program.  Unexpected Lotnos and Locations can be added to the stock-count.  When the stocktake is complete a reconciliation report can be printed to show any variances.
