Car industry
Logistics and EDI
A software packet for technological and logistic processes in a car assembly plant, and the tools that exchange the documents.
Program modules
- production information
- basic and JiT logistics
- technological process and time management
Technical information for production preparation
Production information — a module for preparing the technical data of the production tree and for presenting that information.
Development component lists — computation and display of sample production orders from the production settings and the technical data.
Technical preparation of production
Technical data for the preparation and presentation of production progressions.
Time analysis — application for time analysis and sequence creation.
Technological processes — application for creating operations, including components into operations and beats by production unit.
Component location — ordering of components by the technological progressions, as preparation for the consumption prognosis.
Ware basket — placing components from the technological progressions into ware baskets for the assembly line.
Preparation of the production estimate
Financial component lists — an application for financiers. It builds the data sources and computes the sample component list from the technical information used in the estimate.
Logistics and disposal
Messages for the supplier — processing of delivery requests in advance, and a client application that presents the requests by selected criteria.
Disposal information — processing of disposal settings for how segments are used by orders.
Disposal component list — recount of component lists for production orders after changes in the production setting and in the disposal information.
Consumption prognosis — specification of the order plan by the given limits, a daily cumulative prediction of component consumption from the actual order state at a given hour and from the daily disposal component lists, cumulative volume of undone production, cumulative volume of done production and its accumulation since the last inventory.
Module component lists — list computation, generation of an activity file and a client application that presents the module component lists.
JiT prediction — cumulative prognosis by the critical checkpoints in production for JiT, and a client application that presents the results by selected criteria.
Running production information
Disposal presentation — a client application for running information about production, disposal settings by selection criteria, component lists and module component lists, limits for manufacturing planning, and printouts of the planning report, consumption prognosis and undone and done production.
Quality — an application on handhelds that records production information about the quality of an order.
Scrapping — an application for recording material that is to be discarded.
Production reports
Customs clearance — a weekly summary of production for customs clearance.
Undone production — an accumulated algorithm that snapshots undone production on a given date and exports the data for the customs system.
Monthly material outgoing — accumulated computation of the monthly material outgoing, with an algorithm aimed at large volumes, and export of the result for processing in SAP.
Monitoring and device management
Monitor — an operator application for time-controlled tasks, and server applications that log the condition of those tasks.
rvs — file interchange by ODETTE FTP
rvs (Rechner–Verbund–System, registered by T-Systems) is a tool for transferring commercial and technical files between partners in car-industry supply chains.
The basic tools rvsXP (Windows) and rvsX (Linux) are delivered as rvs/light (one communication channel, up to five partners) and as the unrestricted rvs/Classic version.
Transfer protocols
The secured ODETTE File Transfer Protocol follows VDA 4914/2 (OFTP). Network channels in rvsXP:
- TCP/IP
- ISDN and native X.25
- SNA LU6.2
Basic features
- reliable file interchange, including receipt acknowledgement
- monitoring of network connections, including an event protocol
- data transfer in the background, without user intervention
- routing of transmissions through remote temporary servers
- automatic data receipt and processing
- programmable automatic resend
- an editable scripting language for automatic processing
- a user interface and dialogs for administration
- background batch processing
- logging and backup of system events
- protection against unauthorized remote access
- separation of the application part from the communication part
- OFTP features: protocol versioning, password-secured connections, compression, ASCII–EBCDIC conversion, virtual file names
- automatic restart of a failed transfer from the point of interruption
- automatic receipt acknowledgement (EERP)
rvs — download and test
rvsXP
rvsEVO
- Readme
- Setup package (104 MB)
- User manual

glate — EDI message converter
glate (Gedas transLATE) is a Windows application that converts received EDIFACT or VDA messages into database tables (dBASE, MS Access, MS SQL Server, Oracle) and builds EDI messages from data stored in those tables.
Features
- modular configuration according to the message formats required
- new message formats can be added
- integrated with the OFTP transfer in rvs
- monitoring and logging of processes
- automatic saving of received messages into database tables
- a programmable interface for receiving and transmitting messages
- a wide set of message formats (LAB, FAB, DELFOR, DELINS, INVOIC, DELJIT, DESADV, INVRPT and others)
- definition tables can be modified for a customer (VW, GM, Volvo and others)
rvs ENGDAT — technical drawings
rvs ENGDAT organises distribution and deposition of technical drawings in a design team. It extends rvs, which transfers files between the car producer's drawing server and the design teams of supply-chain partners.
Besides the drawings, the communication carries ENGDAT forms: description of the drawings, versioning, usage recommendations and other data.
The simplified gENGDAT version is based on glate. It converts attendant drawing data from ENGDAT forms into the glate database and shows them in glate viewer. It can also construct ENGDAT forms in glate editor. This version is not meant to manage team processes in a construction office.
