VERTEX Plus for Windows is software designed to meet special textile industry needs by UK company Ceres Systems Ltd. It embodies 20 years of continuous development.
  • VERTEX Plus for Windows is designed to help you manage piece-work payment and monitor production in your factory. You can record information on operations, products or styles, orders and bundle quantities, then print the required worktickets - each ticket with unique miniature barcodes on its peel-off coupons - identifying every operation in product assembly.
  • Operators collect and save the coupons for their work on paysheets, which are returned for reading with a CCD scanner at a linked PC. Payment, bundle tracking and Work in Progress records are updated automatically.
  • With full context-sensitive 'help' available on-screen at the touch of a button, you will find VERTEX Plus for Windows intuitively easy to understand and control. A comprehensive user reference manual is supplied with the system, and no special training course has been found necessary.
