REQUIRES Teklynx CODESOFT Product

Do you wish your ERP system would also print your product, parts, pallet, and shipping labels? SENTINEL can make that happen. By capturing data from your existing system, SENTINEL can automatically determine the label format, what data should print, and what printer to use. SENTINEL is low maintenance and efficient, saving you time by eliminating unnecessary processes and the need for manual support.

Automates Printing for Your Entire Organization

Print users continue to work with a system they already know, which decreases the amount of training each print user needs. The flow of data is as easy to follow as 1-2-3:

1. When the print user initiates a print request, the host system sends a data file to a network folder.
2. When the data file is created, a Windows event triggers SENTINEL to process the data file.
3. SENTINEL determines the label, data, and printer from the information sent from the host system and prints the label.
