Application illustration · site, device and software configurations vary by project

## Project fit & buying priorities

Production and maintenance managers, plant IT/OT teams, MES/EAM providers and equipment integrators can assess the workflow, integration and ongoing support together. Operations should define tasks and exceptions, IT should validate interfaces and access, and procurement should compare complete configurations and service scope.

Distinguish inventory capture, service and payment. Confirm store software and identifiers; use a separately approved payment solution where needed.

## From field action to a complete record

- 01Synchronize stores and tasks

- 02Scan material or asset IDs

- 03Record counts, merchandising or inspections

- 04Submit exceptions for review

## System integration & delivery responsibilities

Use store, material, asset, inspection job, count discrepancy, transfer as the integration checklist. Define field ownership, required values and exception handling. Complete one representative job from terminal to API and backend review before scaling to more teams or sites.

SOTEN provides terminal hardware, module adaptation and device-interface support. Software and equipment partners own MES/EAM logic, line control and management platforms. The terminal does not replace a PLC or safety controller.

Suggested data flow; agree interfaces and deployment for the project.

## Turn requirements into testable selection criteria

| Criterion | Confirm with the project team | Evidence to request |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Use and configuration | Confirm capture methods, environment and operator interaction against the criteria above | Representative jobs, tags and peripheral list |
| Systems and interfaces | MES / ERP / EAM / QMS application version, fields, SDKs and protocols | Installable software, API specification and test account |
| Operations and support | Actual shifts, power, network, mounting and spare-unit plan | Full-shift test, installation drawing and support responsibilities |

## Product platforms to evaluate

Select a platform by workflow, then confirm the branch, operating-system version and modules. The suggestions below do not mean every option is included in every configuration.

## Pilot validation & procurement acceptance

Pilot transfers, counts and site checks in one store, verifying access, barcode mapping and outage recovery.

- Operations: confirm completion, exception review and result retrieval against real workflows.

- IT / integration: verify fields, permissions, offline recovery and duplicate handling.

- Procurement / support: freeze the tested device, software and accessories, and agree delivery, spares and service terms.

## Questions before the project starts

### Can this connect to our existing system?

MES / ERP / EAM / QMS are integration targets, subject to application compatibility, interface access and SDK validation. Share the software version, API specification and an anonymized workflow sample for a device pilot. Agree device supply, integration and rollout as explicit work packages.

### What should we prepare before selecting pilot devices?

Provide sample jobs and equipment IDs, peripherals, installation dimensions, application packages and MES/EAM interfaces. Include deployment region, estimated quantity, project stage and intended rollout date to define candidate configurations and a test plan.
