EKR Eprel

A manufacturer of energy-consuming tools must declare the characteristics of what they produce. To meet this regulatory requirement EKR uses EKR Eprel.

Since March 1, 2021, the legislation that imposes the new Energy Labels comes into force.

If you are not up to date with your basic and derivative models, rely on EKR’s proven solution.

The European Commission requires manufacturers of energy-consuming instruments to be compliant with a given regulation: in this regard, the manufacturer must declare the characteristics of what it produces and its level of efficiency, which is combined with an energy class that allows the user to compare products.

Even companies that produce non-mass goods are required to adapt to this legislation and therefore to compare their technical data with the various producers; the European body then certifies that a given product has a more or less convenient energy class than the others.

To allow manufacturers to assign the correct energy class to products, it is necessary to manage a very large set of information that must be sent to the systems of Eurovent, the association of manufacturers of air conditioning and industrial refrigeration systems.

Once the information has been submitted to their systems, the energy class is established and producers are assigned a QR code or an image that allows them to declare that the products are part of a given energy category.

The EKR Eprel module allows you to use EKR Orchestra data to meet this regulatory and industrial need.

EKR CAT bidirectional integration

Computer-assisted translation is a fundamental step in communicating your products to the world. The integration between EKR and major CAT systems allows you to manage it better

It is possible to complete the translation process, within the company flows, with an extension that allows you to connect the EKR Orchestra platform directly with external translation agencies or with persons in charge, within the company. 

With EKR Cat Bidirectional Integration it is possible to ensure that the creation and modification of texts, in the source language, send the direct request for translation to the agencies defined for each single language, thus obtaining direct integration between EKR Orchestra and CAT management systems. translations from external agencies. Conversely, when the translator has completed the translation, it may be possible to automatically insert the translation within the system, by sending a notification to the persons concerned to check the translated content.

EKR concrete 5 plugins

An EKR plugin has been developed that brings any information to the Concrete 5 nodes and to the Elastic platform

A plugin has been developed that allows to bring, within the Concrete 5 nodes, any type of information and, again, any type of request to the Elastic platform.

EKR Illustrator plugin

A new plug-in for those who create technical and marketing illustrations and can contribute important information, not just graphics, to the company knowledge base.

Some informative content, useful for on-line / off-line dissemination, may need to be created and managed directly within Adobe Illustrator.

EKR has developed a plug in to allow the designer to create informative contributions, nested within the document itself, with a wide use of layers. It will therefore be possible, within Illustrator, to generate specific objects of the Knowledge Base: we think, for example, of images in high or low resolution, as well as a whole set of texts, created within Illustrator itself for their localization in language or for searchability needs.

EKR WordPress editor

As easy as a web page! With EKR WP editor you can create as many web pages as you want, giving free writing and reading access to knowledge base information.

Using the WordPress platform within the EKR Orchestra scenario, it is possible to create highly customized interactive pages for the consultation and creation / modification of contents, both textual and static (images) or dynamic (video and audio) assets. s #

A typical use of the WordPress Editor module is the creation of pages, content insertion and maintenance, for Smartphone use. It is, therefore, possible to create pages to load or keep very specific information, with a very easy use from smartphone or tablet. 

The use of WordPress Editor makes the creation of contents extremely easy as it is always guided in every single informative contribution.

Drupal

With an EKR plugin it is possible to communicate with the Drupal CMS platform and transport any type of information. Pretty quick and easy!

A plugin has been developed for the Drupal platform that allows you to bring any type of information and any type of request to the Elastic platform within the Drupal nodes.

EKR Correct Share

A cloud platform to facilitate teamwork by improving, sharing information needed by more people, integrating the use of Excel with spredsheets

It supports the more common use of Excel for uploading / downloading data for the purpose of disclosure. 

It is a Cloud platform, Software as a Service, which allows any user who uses a Spreadsheet to share the information contained within it with other people who use Spreadsheets, also built in a completely different way, guaranteeing the accuracy of the information itself in a any connected Excel file.

It is a tool that allows and facilitates group work always characterized by the need to share information necessary for everyone; in fact, it allows you to have different Spreadsheets that share data with each other and ensures that these are always perfectly updated in the various sheets, guaranteeing the correctness of every single cell and saving the contents in an easy-to-access centralized repository.

CorrectShare applies the basic concepts of Logistics (relating to labels and containers) to data with complex structures otherwise difficult to standardize, making the work more efficient and eliminating the need to create multiple versions of a file.

Any Spreadsheet, with the overwritten label paths, is sent to the PIM which reads the data and allows you to have them even in a completely different Excel file, as long as they have the same labels.

Author

It allows authors, content strategists and those who create information to “write little but write well” with a versatile and stable tool on information structures

It is EKR’s historic content creation and maintenance tool.

Extremely flexible, it is very stable even on very complex information structures. Able to read and modify XML structures, without showing the user any reference to markers, tags, it hides all its complexity behind an easy and accessible user interface. 

Using a metaphor, EKR Author can be defined as the “Swiss Army Knife” of content management because it is able to create and maintain any type of information, within any company environment.

BMECat-Etim

EKR has developed integration modules that allow you to send the information organized in the EKR Knowledge Base to the two aggregators BMECat and Etim.

In recent years some standards have been outlined in terms of interchange between manufacturing companies and the large integration and sales portals of B to B products.

The Etim format and the BMECat format are among the most popular.

EKR has developed integration modules to allow you to send, with a defined schedule, the information organized in the EKR Knowledge Base, following the standards of the two portals. 

The integration module is characterized by great flexibility that allows you to adapt, in a simple and fast way, therefore without the support of external consultancy, the set of information to be sent to the two BMECat and Etim aggregators. This allows the company to configure the file structure to be sent to the portals, based on the logic of semantics and the extreme flexibility and granularity of EKR Knowledge Base.

AS400

The AS400 system allows processing and management speed. EKR exploits this potential by accessing through sequel structures or web services

EKR has developed various forms of integration with the AS400 world, allowing perfect synchronism between the AS400 master data and the extremely modular structure of EKR. 

The integration method can be done by accessing the sequel structures or through the web services, depending on the type of configuration that the company has in place.
