PC Miler Routing Interface
ALK Associates, the developers of PC Miler, provide an interface framework for developer partners to interface their applications to key features of PC Miler. This interface facility is offered on a variety of Open Systems platforms including several versions of UNIX(SCO, AIX, SUN etc.) and Windows NT.
WISL has developed the facility in WISL Dispatch to generate the appropriate data structures to send to the ALK interface module to initiate an automatic routing, the results of which are returned to WISL Dispatch and displayed, printed or routed to a pager network.
The integrity that barcode identification provides to the record keeping process along with the requirement for mobility makes RF scanning terminals ideal for some of the data collection needs in a freight terminal. Creation of a trip(cross docking) in the Dockside module is an obvious application for RF scanning.
