While our competitors claim to support relational databases in their applications when you look closely you can see that they are really folder based systems.
Our competitors require you to setup remote request directories, files, etc. The realization then strikes you that they have built their system on the old folder based technologies. Each of their servers has a complicated folder-path-name relationship where SuiteFactory's real relational database shields you from this error prone process.
By the way with SuiteFactory you can use any number of Virtual Servers, no additional cost, to support any number of machine tools, files, remote requests and machine load-balancing which is a must requirement for a large shop.
SuiteFactory Machine tools are object oriented in design. Once you setup a machine tool you can copy it, save it and or assign it to any Virtual Server by simple going to the Machine Tool Properties Window and selecting the Virtual Server/COM-Port and you're up and running.
To many machines on a server? SuiteFactory allows you chose any Virtual Server, reassign the offending machine tool to this Server and you're up and running.
This off-loaded machine tool can now be accessed by any authorized User from any workstation on the network.
Workstations can be created from the pool of licensed Workstations or Virtual Servers with no restrictions.
Each Workstation/Virtual Server can have any third-party application associated with it and used by SuiteFactory's Secure Data Vault to launch any third-party application needed to edit any file or document in SuiteFactory's Data Vault.
You can setup Remote Requests to control the type and quantity of files being requested by a machine tool such as production control, development, old, obsolete, etc.
No multiple Servers to configure, backup or to provide security for. SuiteFactory is a true relational database Enterprise Solution and not folders based.
