Bespoke Software Solutions   

    

 

We have a dedicated team of highly skilled developers, all of whom specialise in one or more programming languages. We develop all of our glass software products in-house, including Gtrak order processing & production control software and OptimiserX material saving optimiser. 

 

This means we have 100% control over developement and can offer bespoke services to tune our products to suit highly specific requirements. We work with you to produce cost effective software solutions to manage your in-house business procedures.

 

We have expertise in manufacturing software for flat glass, acrylics, multi layer laminates and pleated blinds. Other bespoke developments include Bed Occupancy Management for nursing homes.

 

Areas of interest:

  • Electronic Point of Sales (EPOS)

  • Order Processing

  • Document Management

  • Electronic Data Interchange 

  • Material Saving Optimiser (Flat Glass, Acrylics, Window Profiles, Pleated Blinds) 

  • Shape Nesting

Universal Arches and Pilkington AG Project

             

Working in partnership with Universal Arches, JoTiKa Software has written a unique DXF importing tool to work alongside their highly efficient shape handling software that has recently been developed between the two companies.    

Universal can now export a DXF file that contains all the glass templates, which can be distributed with a viewer file directly to the customer. Once approved, these templates can be used to develop a complete glass order. The Gtrak order processing software was adapted to handle multiple shapes in a single DXF file and identify them individually; this enables staff to apply exact glass specifications to each shape, where necessary.    

 

This is then sent electronically (via EDI) to Universal’s glass partner, Pilkington AG. Pilkington AG, also users of Gtrak Software, import the glass order directly into their order processing system ready for manufacture and delivery within 5-7 days.    

 

Prior to the software investment, it could take several days for any specialist bending/shape manufacturer to provide glass templates which had to be hand drawn and therefore at risk of error. This new process has improved accuracy and response times to meet the needs of the modern installation company. Frames and glass can now be delivered on the same day.   

 

JoTiKa’s solution has enabled Universal to order glass for their frames without re-keying or intervening in the automated process; it’s a very big move to a paperless working environment. The EDI link will also help reinforce the close working relationship between Universal Arches and Pilkington AG thanks to this investment in technology.

Optimiser Adapted for Thomas Sanderson Blinds

             

“Thomas Sanderson worked with Jotika who modified their glass optimisation software to suit the requirements of Pleated conservatory blind manufacture. The result was a significant reduction in fabric waste and a productivity increase in the fabric screening process of some 20%.

As a project it has provided the vehicle to review and re-engineer the way that the fabric department works. By direct involvement, the fabric team on the shop floor have used the tools provided to drive improvement and as often happens in these cases have managed to achieve additional benefits outside of the original project scope."
