BURT LineManager™ provides a bi-directional interface between the BURT System™ and packaging control systems via the BURT Open Control Interface (OCI) Microsoft SQL database.. Such an interface provides single-point run management, timely feedback to the BURT System™, and a high degree of accuracy and accountability. Historically, these interfaces have been implemented by exchanging text files in a common shared folder on the BURT server. LineManager™ may be seamlessly integrated with computerized packaging control systems, including General Electric Automation Systems, EnterNET's CSN-NT and NewsCom from Quipp, and MiraSert from Miracom. The system also supports legacy interfaces with GMA®’s WinLincs™ and Lincs™ inserter control system.
