NiceWatch Enterprise Features
The enterprise solution for centralized integration of multi-threaded and high-volume label printing.
If your Warehouse Management System (WMS), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, Hospital Information System (HIS) or any other type of business information system requires high-throughput and high-volume label printing, then NiceWatch Enterprise is the perfect solution for you.
The NiceWatch Enterprise prints large quantities of labels on multiple printers from your WMS, ERP, HIS or other systems. The NiceWatch Enterprise provides you with a:
Multi-threaded printing technology that assures fast and faultless operation even in the most demanding environments.
Scalable enterprise-level integration middleware that does not require any programming or coding change of your existing information systems.
Server-based solution that enables applications and systems to initiate label printing from a centralized location.
All printers in your organization can be managed from one location through the web-based Enterprise Print Manager module that is also part of your NiceWatch Enterprise environment. Real time printer status monitoring combined with a multi-channel alerting system minimizes the risk of long-lasting production line standstill and ensures that you learn immediately about a label printing error, warning or simple confirmation of an executed print job.
