Job BASE
Paperless Manufacturing/Job Management
Job BASE is a Production Document Manager for managing
Jobs. CNC programs, CAD drawings, Setup Sheets, CNC Offset Files, Tool Lists, Setup pictures and Movies are all associated under a Job name and description, which becomes a “Job”. When Jobs have been created and released to production, a CNC Operator can look at all of the documents associated with a Job in an easy to use graphical interface, eliminating paper documentation.
Job BASE is a browser based application that is integrated with Multi-DNC. Job BASE runs on any browser from any PC in your LAN. Job BASE can also be used on non-PC devices, such as Apple iPads and Android based tablets such as the Samsung Galaxy, or the new Google Nexus 7.
Job BASE uses the industry standard Microsoft SQL database with server side processing for the best performance. SQL Server 2008 Express is recommended and is a free download from Microsoft. Job BASE can have 1000’s of Jobs in its database and multiple users can use Job BASE simultaneously.
