Integration With Third-Party Systems

Many companies implementing manufacturing systems use automated collection devices or systems to assist in quality inspection and control. Through the use of the Application Messaging technology, you can pass quality information collected from these devices to Quality.

The third-party system passes quality control information to Quality using application messages. Messages are posted to a queue. Quality then:

1. Retrieves the message from the queue.

2. Analyzes the data.

3. Updates the database with results.

Transaction messages coming from the third-party system can be marked as move-only. In this mode, the system doesn't process the messages, but the data associated with the message is moved immediately into the PeopleSoft database. Use this feature to create data-entry sessions that can be reviewed or completed later.
