Many Japanese formats are not well known here in Europe – but in comparison to other converters, Lobster_data can easily integrate even the most niche standards.
DMG MORI BELIEVES IN LOBSTER.
Our Lobster_data software helped the leading manufacturer of cutting machine tools for turning and milling, DMG Mori, to modernise its IT landscape.
The company’s set-up was something of a challenge when it came to data integration. Not only did DMG Mori work with a number of niche Japanese data formats that are not well known in Germany, but its data reconciliation processes between the individual locations were particularly complex. In addition, there was urgent need to receive shipping status information from partners around the world in real-time.
By choosing Lobster_data, the company can now seamlessly integrate company-specific data formats. Data gaps are automatically detected, missing information is quickly procured from pre-defined external databases. The middleware also corrects potential data errors during transmission and sends automated alerts to the responsible employees. Sensitive data is highly secure when working with Lobster_data due to AS2 and the necessary certifications.
At DMG Mori our flexible solution can be connected to Infor, SAP ERP, Oracle-DB, Web Services, Inet TMS and more, is compatible with data formats such as IDoc, EDIFACT, CSV, XML, ZUGFeRD, ORDRSP, INVRPT, DESADV and PRICA and supports protocols like AS2 and SFTP/SSH.
