GlobalTracker™ Software from Riverdale Global Uses
Real-Time Input from Controllers for Ordering, Color
Matching, Documentation, and Troubleshooting
A new color-tracking capability
that is available at no cost
from Riverdale Global uses
real-time, company-wide data
from liquid-color metering
devices to automate many of
the customer’s purchasing,
production management, and
compliance functions, and it
makes remote troubleshooting
possible. Riverdale Global will
introduce the system, called
GlobalTracker™, at NPE2018
(Booth S22023).
In the GlobalTracker system, special
transmission boxes at the customer’s
plant receive data from the controllers
on liquid color metering devices and transmit it
to Riverdale Global via the Internet or a cellular
network. The GlobalTracker software on the
Riverdale Global servers tracks material usage and
records such job-specific data as operator ID, work
order, lot number, and color ID. This capability
extends to all production lines, whether in a single
facility or at multiple plants. In turn, the customer
can access GlobalTracker information using a
desktop, tablet, or smart phone.
Once customers log in to the GlobalTracker system,
they can also obtain information on open, invoiced,
and paid orders, search their order history by
order or by production job, see their current color
match status, submit new color matches, and
document production runs for complian
