EmbroideryStudio provides a Runtime Analyst feature for calculating estimated running times for embroidery files using specified RPM values and other runtime parameters. These are used on a design-by-design basis to determine scheduling, running costs, and payments for production staff. Output can be used by any third-party software such as ERP or accounting systems.
Information can be made available to various stakeholders for payroll, estimations, and scheduling. For instance:
The designer creates a new design and saves as EMB and/or machine file such as U11.
EmbroideryStudio automatically calculates running time.
Calculated results are saved to CSV file in a designated file location.
The payroll department accesses the CSV file and calculates pay rates for the design. For example:
A payroll clerk may need to find out what the runtime will be for a given job in order to pay the machine operator.
A manager may need to provide an accurate runtime estimate for any given design so the payroll department is able to process machine operator payments.
The ERP system accesses the CSV file for estimation and scheduling purposes.
Runtime information may be communicated to a machine operator who needs to know the runtime estimate for a specific job.
