THE BASICS

BatchLink comes with the database built in. Batch reports no longer have to be printed on the spot;  they are stored in the computer and can be printed when you want them. If you need a different report format - for instance, to print delivery tickets on your own pre-printed forms, just make a report format for the job.  It's as easy as word processing.  As you use BatchLink you will see new possibilities and create ideas. You can develop spreadsheets and reports to suit your particular needs. Sort records to find and print batches from a month or a year ago. With the Order Entry version, when you enter an order, it is put in line for production. Choose immediate or later execution and watch BatchTron take over, producing the orders at the speed that you want them. When each batch is complete, the batch data appears in the production database. Choose immediate report printing, end of day printing or storage on disk. At the end of day, check production totals, material usage and inventory. 

With BatchLink plus your imagination, your company will save money and increase profits.

STI (Service and Training by Internet)

Redilink's reliability is excellent.  This is not where we stop, however.  Our customers tell us - loud and clear - when they do have a problem.  In order to solve problems quickly and efficiently we have called upon the latest Internet technology.  Through your company network and its Internet connection, or even through a phone connection to the Internet, we can access your system and monitor its progress to pinpoint faults.  Even if the faults are caused by mechanical problems in the plant (90% of all faults are), we can see the resulting holdup and guide the operator to a successful outcome, anywhere in the world.

Our engineers can monitor or control the PC computer running BatchLink or RediLink software, drilling down through levels of menus to check setup data, correct it and, most important, train personnel to understand the processes.  Together with a speaker phone, training sessions for groups can be conducted almost as easily as our trainer being on site.  The cost saving and convenience is obvious.  Scale-Tron is pioneering this technology to make your experience the best possible.

THE COST

BatchLink is, surprisingly, very inexpensive. Use your own PC computer;  BatchLink's installation software runs automatically and sets everything up for you. AND IF YOU DON'T ALREADY HAVE A BATCHTRON, BATCHLINK IS ONE MORE REASON TO GET ONE. The BatchTron cable plugs right into your computer's serial port (COM1 or COM2) and you are ready to go. Call us or use our Application questionnaire for prices and more details.

Note that if you are purchasing reporting  software for the first time, you must consider that this software will be an integral part of your business.  You must have a reliable computer with adequate speed and memory as well as a local PC specialist who can maintain your computer hardware and network if applicable.
