.2 What is VMI/WEB-VV?
VMI stands for Vendor Managed Inventory (supplier-controlled
inventory). The supplier is responsible for the inventory of his products
at the customer's location. He takes over inventory monitoring via
remote enquiry and autonomously controls the delivery of replenish-
ments.
WEB-VV stands for simple remote enquiry, user-friendly visualisation
and long-term data archiving. Thanks to its interfaces to standard
inventory control systems (ERP systems) as well as its comprehensive
notification functions, WEB-VV is the ideal basis for all VMI solutions.
WEB-VV is based on modern Web technologies, visualisation is
carried out via any standard browser such as e.g. the Internet Explorer.
This is possible in the local network as well as world-wide via Internet.
A local installation of application software for measured value
indication is hence not necessary. The transmission of measured
values is either carried out via LAN, Internet, GSM/GPRS or telephone
line. The protected area for measured value indication is only
accessible with an individual password, the connection is established
via the secure https protocol.
The measured values are provided by on-site sensors and collected
and further processed by appropriate VEGA signal conditioning
instruments. These signal conditioning instruments transmit (time-
controlled) the measured values to the defined WEB-VV server. The
indication of the measured values can be a bar graph or a table. Apart
from the current measured values, history data are also available. The
current measured values can be sent cyclically at any time also via e-
mail/SMS/fax. Event-controlled notification can also be configured.
WEB-VV is available in two versions, centrally hosted at VEGA or
locally installed at the customer's location.
At its own computer centre VEGA provides the server for adminstra-
tion of the inventory data. Through interruption-free power supply,
redundant hardware and automatic backup, 24-hour availablility is
guaranteed 365 days per year. Installation, administration and future
software updates are included in the one-time installation fee.
