Integrations​

  • Provide Graphical User Interfaces to operate the machine
  • Can start / stop issuance via REST APIs
  • Schedule new jobs by writing records in Data Exchange Tables which hold personalization data. The system updates data exchange tables providing execution status and results.

Operators​

  • An operator places a stack of cards in the input feeder
  • From a graphical application starts the automated issuance process
  • The machine keeps issuing cards until any of the following events occur:
    • There are no more cards in the input feeder
    • The system is manually stopped
    • An error occurred (open interlocks, hardware failures, unhandled software exceptions)

AIDA (Perso/Machine Controller)​

AIDA is the software platform that automates personalization workflows and exposes APIs for integration.

Key features:

  • Job template management
  • Database based Integration
  • Automated personalization workflows
  • REST APIs
  • Web Hooks

AIDA's WebApp​

Alongside AIDA, a webapp is provided to quickly configure the system and start issuing cards. It is built on top of AIDA's REST APIs. If needed Integrators can build their own tools and applications with the same featureset.

Features​

  • Setup Wizard for template Creation and Configuration
    • Import SJF files
    • Create Layouts (associate SJF files to card sides for engraving)
    • Generate Data Exchange Tables
  • GUI to Start / Stop Issuance
  • GUI for XY Auto-Positioning configuration and preview
  • GUI for OCR configuration and preview
  • Live stream from internal cameras
  • Transport control
