Introduction

Commander4j is the name of the core application, often abbreviated to just C4J for convenience.

The original role of C4J was to provide a local resilient pallet labelling and production recording system with interfaces to your ERP system.

Many manufacturing facilities these days work 24x7 and despite the best intentions of IT staff and ERP system design there will be need to have downtime. Obviously if something crucial like barcoding stops, that will effect the production. So came C4J into existence.

The system has expanded its scope and functionality significantly since it's first inception, however its core operation remains the same.

Download Material Data and Orders into a local database. Let the operator assign orders to lines/printers, print and confirm those pallets have been manufactured and interface the production data back to your ERP system.

Printing of barcodes can be directly from Commander4j or indirectly by interface to automatic label applicators.

Don't confuse C4J with a simple label design tool, that is not it's purpose. It's designed to be user friendly front end for operators that is resilient and ensures the uninterrupted production of a site without data loss when a central ERP system is unavailable.

The core functionality has since been built upon and the application now includes,
