MIRAMAR, FL.- January 21, 2003- Kaba Benzing, a
subsidiary of $800 million Kaba Holding AG and worldwide leader in
time and labor management systems, today announced that it has
installed its B-Net 9580 color VGA touch screen terminal at
SAP-Global Custom Development Services in Newtown Square, Penn. The
B-Net 9580 records personnel, job, machine capacity, stock, quality
and maintenance data as well as provides employees with a touch
screen kiosk for retrieving and viewing such HR information as
schedules, vacation and sick balances.
SAP Global Custom
Development Services provides customers with direct access to SAP
developers, partners and business experts with the knowledge and
experience to successfully plan and execute high-quality custom
development projects that meet the specific needs of individual
businesses.
The B-Net 9580 supports a wireless or hardwired
Ethernet interface, allowing it to be integrated into existing
infrastructures. This Windows-based PC terminal also features a
large standard 10.4- or optional 15-inch touch screen display, which
effortlessly lets production workers and management interact with
the SAP R/3 solution. Work instructions, selection lists such as
those needed for cost center changes or unfilled orders, drawings,
complete documents or Internet sites are viewed on the graphics
display. When used as a kiosk system for employee self-service
functions, employees access Intranet information such as vacation
time available, submit vacation requests and review and download
work instructions.
To make data input easy, the B-Net 9580 is
multi-lingual and accepts data from multiple sources. For recording
production and labor data, the terminal reads up to two different
types of credentials, including visible or IR barcode touch and
swipe readers, barcode reading pens, barcode scanners, magnetic
stripe cards, LEGIC or HID RFID cards and inductive insertion
credentials. Integrated Machine Data Collection functionalities
create a connection between machines and people, such as the
recording of machine cycles and malfunctions.
We are very
pleased to be involved with SAP Global Custom Development Services,"
emphasizes John C. EdwaVicrds, Kaba-Benzing America's President
& General Manager. "Kaba Benzing is the leading provider of
subsystems for time and attendance, production data collection and
access control with SAP R/3. More than 700 SAP customers rely on
Kaba Benzing solutions.According to Register, users of SAP solutions
have found it is easy to implement and use Kaba Benzing's B-COMM™ for
SAP R/3, a communications software that links Kaba Benzing terminals
and other hardware data devices to SAP R/3, Releases 3.1 to 4.6. It
automates and validates the collection of employee and labor data
for entry into SAP solutions, including mySAP-Human Resources (mySAP
HR, time management), mySAP Product Lifecycle Management (including
product planning, plant maintenance and project system), SAP Cross
Application Time Sheet (CATS) and SAP Employee Self-Service (SAP
ESS).
"We're always one of the first to
certify the integration of B-COMM™ with SAP solutions in the latest
technical environment recommended by SAP adds Register.
The core of the software is a SAP-certified interface software
that helps ensure faultless data exchange between the individual SAP
applications and the data collection devices. This interface is kept
current with all new SAP technical developments. All data
maintenance takes place in the SAP solution.
