EasyPlant - A Manufacturing System for SMB Factories: EasyPlant - Lesson 1


Above screen shows the Product screen of EasyPlant. A product is uniquely identified by its Category and Name. There is no need to maintain product codes. Direct yet unique names, do the trick. Except here, you need to just select a product from a list in all other screens. So, keep the names complete and meaningful. Avoid using codes.





Q&A: Your Questions are answered by EasyPlant Experts, below.
Question 1: How to play an MPG file, as a reference file in EasyPlant's product profile? BTW, Thank you for EasyPlant Free download!
Answer: Thanks for your query. In normal view mode on the Product Data screen, double-click on Reference File element data. SpApp's built-in Media Player checks for the file given in there and plays it for you, on a small window immediately beneath. If it does not play, the file name given there is not found in your computer. Please take care of proper file path too, if you're keeping it elsewhere. SpApp Media Player is capable of playing movie, music or show pictures.
Question 2: Happened to read your newsletters on spapp. What is EasyPlant, now?
Answer: SpApp is the tool with which we made a solution called EasyPlant, a Manufacturing system for small factories. At Sysnet, we make tools and also solutions. Thus, you get best of both worlds. You may just buy SpApp and do the App yourself. Or, you may buy a ready solution from us (if relevant to your profession) and put to use quickly.
Question 3: What is this .net something? Why do I need it? Thought, you dont need a database.
Answer: We had several queries on this issue. .Net Frameworks is a toolkit made available by Microsoft to run on their Windows OS. It provides a strong foundation on which a few of SpApp's GUI features work. It is to be downloaded free from Microsoft site. Please note that SpApp will not run if .Net Frameworks toolkit is missing from your computer. .Net Frameworks acts as an extended arm of your Windows OS. It does not interfere with your work after installation. It is not a database. SpApp provides the data store.
Question 4: Why EasyPlant Free offer? Do you want us to get stuck with this s/w?
Answer: We had many people asking similar queries on this issue. Took the relatively frontal question here. EasyPlant Free offer is for a limited period upto 15th August 2007. It is to celebrate 60th Indian Independence Day. The free offer is also a reflection on our commitment to Solutions on SpApp. It is a fact that solutions on ERP front in the market are expensive, putting it mildly. Sysnet has stuck its neck out to offer a Lite ERP totally free. It just shows that we have tremendous faith in our product range. We are keen to establish EasyPlant as a key alternative in ERP space, on a long-term basis.
Question 5: I installed EasyPlant s/w. It took just a few seconds. Not sure, if it got installed?!
Answer: SpApp installation is quick. To check if it is installed, inspect your desktop for our SpApp Logo with EasyPlant. If it is found, then installation is OK. Double-click on the desktop icon and proceed. If you don't get to see any new logo, try reinstalling.

Thanks for reading. Please do write to us at info@SysnetIndia.com, at any time with your queries. We'll return with more soon, in the next NewsLetter. Cheers!
