JETCAM Launches Low-Cost Software Subscription

JETCAM has launched CrossTrack MTL, its composite material and kit location/life tracking software. The software is available on a monthly subscription basis; companies can also receive an initial free three-month trial without commitment.

CrossTrack MTL allows composite manufacturers to recreate all material locations virtually, so that any composite material’s location and life can be tracked. Allocating material to locations such as freezers and autoclaves will alter or stop the life countdown, with every change to a material’s status being logged. Traceability reports for individual rolls or tapes, batches of material or kits can be generated in seconds.

The company says users can quickly get a full history of a roll, tape or kit using the Life Cycle graph, which pinpoints each change in an item’s status. Changes such as clearing material for production, blocking, rejecting, re-lifing, scrapping or relocating are logged, also capturing who performed the change, when and on which computer. Comprehensive user access control provides the security to ensure that the right staff have clearance to perform tasks while also removing the possibility for error.

CrossTrack also includes a shop floor interface, providing a simple, touch-friendly and barcode scanner interface for quickly transferring stock in and out of locations. Transfers can also be scheduled so that staff know when to expect particular materials or kits.

Users wanting to test the system can sign up for a free three-month trial. At the end of the trial they can register to continue using the software, paying either quarterly or annually. Discounts are available on additional licenses.

CrossTrack uses the Microsoft SQL Server database platform, allowing customers to either use an existing SQL Server installation or download the free SQL Express edition, further reducing costs.

“Any company that has ever had to throw out expired material or that is drowning in a sea of paperwork will immediately benefit from CrossTrack MTL,” says Martin Bailey, general manager for JETCAM International. “It delivers enterprise-level traceability across the shop floor without any significant cost overhead. The three-month free trial and ease of implementation gives companies the time to get up and running and see what it will do for their business without the pressure of sales people looking to cut a high value order.”
