NiceLabel PowerForms Desktop
NiceLabel PowerForms Desktop
Rapidly build custom labeling applications without programming
NiceLabel PowerForms Desktop is a graphical Rapid Application Development (RAD) environment which lets you quickly create windows applications and reduce your development costs.
Increase your productivity by deploying custom labeling applications with minimal planning and rapid prototyping.
Eliminate label printing errors
Select the database record, see the label preview, and the printer status, and then print your labels. Less manual data entry and better label oversight makes a high level of quality control part of your normal printing process.
- Include tight data-entry validation constraints and reduce manual keying errors.
- Disable printing when the printer is in error state avoiding label misprints and duplicate serial numbers.
- Print preview displays an exact real-time label representation as you key data or select database records.
Integrate with production systems
Integrate with production devices and software and use data from external sources on your labels. You can even forward the data to other business systems every time you print. Easily interface with bar code scanners, weight scales, PLCs, print applicators and other hardware.
- Control and monitor the real-time status of production hardware.
- Read and write data to and from other business systems.
- Connect through RS232, TCP/IP, web services, SQL queries and custom scripting.
Increase your productivity
Make it easy for your operators to do their job. Customize the application to fit your business processes and user needs.
- Preview and print multiple labels from a single form.
- Let the database automatically select label formats for specific records.
- Build re-usable sub-menus that contain work instructions, printer cleaning guides and support tips.
Build applications for touchscreens
Layout the user interface for keyboard, mouse or touchscreen compatibility. You can also deploy as Rich Internet Applications (RIA) for use in a browser across the enterprise or in the cloud*
*Web browser printing requires NiceLabel Portal or NiceLabel Breeze
Reduce development costs
PowerForms builds applications faster than programming languages such as C# or VB.NET. This reduces application development costs and time to deployment.
- Easy drag-and-drop operation lets you build robust applications without coding errors.
- Allow non-programmers to build applications
- Design your printing applications just like you design your labels
- Create label printing, database management and data collection applications
