PikLink TL (Terminal Link) is our software to link into client terminal emulation software.

If you are using a windows based terminal emulation package to link into your text based stock control package, then PikLink TL allows you to continue to use your own package on the carousel. When the user wishes to move the carousel to the location displayed by your software, a special key combination is pressed which moves the carousel.

The client terminal emulation software must have a macro scripting language, which enables the inclusion of Active X objects or OLE Automation objects. The software works through a script in the Terminal Software. This script reads the location of the part being processed from the screen and feeds it to the PikLink TL software which deciphers it into a Shelf Bin Depth location and moves the machine to that location.
