Loftware Connector for Oracle®

• Centralize control of the Oracle label printing function
  
• Easily integrate Oracle-Based Applications with the label printer infrastructure
  
• Improve label production throughput with no coding changes to the label originating Oracle-Based Application
  
• Ensure fast and reliable label production utilizing Loftware capabilities to support load dividing, automatic failover, and automatic notification of label printing failure
  
• Deliver increased labeling productivity without disrupting current business operations or retraining the existing end-users
  
• Offload the resource intensive task of creating and printing labels from business-critical Oracle-Based Applications to deliver better system performance
  
• Eliminate maintenance programming by keeping current with changing labeling business logic requirements by using menu-driven configuration tools

Triggering Label Printing from Oracle-based Applications
Label print requests can be triggered via any defined Business Flow or Transaction within Oracle WMS or Oracle MSCA such as ‘Receipt’, ‘Ship Confirm’, ‘Pick Load’, etc. Label requests can also be triggered via stored procedures, database triggers, or a PL/SQL call from any Oracle-Based Application.

Enterprise Connectivity for Business-Critical Oracle Systems
The Loftware Connector for Oracle, working with the Loftware Print Server (or multiple Loftware Print Servers), sends the right label with the right data to the right printer at the right time. This combination enables Oracle-Based Applications to generate labels across large networks of printers and empowers companies to comply with current and future barcode label and RFID specifications.

High Throughput Label Production
The Loftware Connector for Oracle speeds the processing of label print requests via its ‘High Speed’ Queuing System to support label printing on a ‘large to massive’ scale — 100’s to 1000’s of printers.

Meeting the Challenges of Oracle Barcode Label Production

(An excerpt from the Loftware White Paper “Implementing or Upgrading Your ORACLE® System? Don’t Forget Your Labels.” -- Download White Paper )

Labels are externally-driven documents.

Depending upon a company’s industry and/or the countries in which they do business, unit labels, package labels, container labels and/or shipment labels must conform to label template standards that are mandated by external ‘customers’ including government regulatory agencies, international standards bodies, industry trade groups, strategic business partners, and third party logistics & shipping companies. The required creation of new labels and changes to existing labels is often at the direction of these external organizations.

Failure to conform to label standards can incur substantial business risk. These risks run from creating dissatisfied customers to fines imposed by government regulatory agencies to outright rejection of products with non-compliant labels. Fast, accurate and continuous label production from business-critical Oracle-based applications contributes to reduced operating costs and lower corporate risk.

When label printing goes down or is slow, manufacturing and shipping bottlenecks and backups are created. When label information is incomplete or erroneous, inaccurate shipments are created and products are routed to the wrong locations. Labels printed at the wrong printer waste time and money. And when labels are printed by unauthorized parties, this can lead to fraud, potential legal problems, and the entry of counterfeit products into a legitimate supply chain.
