Ra Workshop Client Server

All data in one centralized location.

Large door and window manufacturers

Large door and window manufacturers require flexible and solid software solutions that can be adapted to other automation software. Ra Workshop Server is designed specifically for these large companies. Ra Workshop can be used in two ways: desktop or client/server, each way with different characteristics and performance features. Desktop editions are classic applications that can be used on a single personal computer. Everything is installed locally: program files, database server, tools. For example, if you have multiple licenses and want to make a change to the database, you will need to do so on each computer separately.

Ra Workshop Server is designed as a 3-tier application

That enhances performance, reliability and scalability. The Server Edition is composed of 3 elements:

  • Ra Workshop Server – Windows Service Applications that coordinates the connections and commercial rationalization for Ra Workshop
  • Ra Workshop Database Server – Microsoft SQL Server provides reliability, reliability and scalability at the highest level
  • Ra Workshop Client – any Ra Workshop edition that has an additional connectivity license (Ra Workshop CAL).

How does Ra Workshop Server implementation work?

The implementation of the Ra Workshop Server involves an analysis of the company’s needs: the division of the users into groups, depending on their type of activity, the analysis of the way of calculating the bidding (additional costs), the analysis of the manual operations, the analysis of the managerial reports and last but not least plant workflow planning. Once the analytical aspect is completed, the next step is to introduce the results into Ra Workshop. All these settings are made by the Pyramid Software team, under the supervision of your representative. The Go Live stage represents the application’s involvement in the actual process. Offers are created and saved on the server. Further, the production team opens, analyses and groups these offers into production projects. These will be optimised according to factory production capacity and workflow set previously. Following the optimisation process, production reports and data files for machines are generated. Depending on the production station feedback, there can be adjustments to the application or database (Ex: you may want to add extra information to the mold generated by the cutter or change the code in the database).
