Integrate mRounds with External Systems
Integrating mRounds with external systems is essential for seamless maintenance operations and data flow across an organization. This chapter provides a comprehensive guide to establishing and configuring connections between mRounds and various external systems, such as FTP servers, ODBC databases, SMTP email servers, and SAP ERP systems.
- Establish a Connection with FTP Server for Data Export
  An FTP (File Transfer Protocol) server connection allows mRounds to securely transfer large volumes of data to external systems for reporting, backup, or further processing. Establishing this connection enables the export of rounds data and reports to FTP servers without manual intervention, ensuring a smooth and automated process for data storage and sharing.
- Establish a Connection with ODBC for Database Integration
  The ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) connector allows mRounds to directly interface with external databases. This connection is crucial for exporting rounds data to an organization’s internal databases, enabling further analysis and integration with other systems like reporting tools or custom dashboards.
- Configure an SMTP Server for Automated Email Notifications
  Configuring an SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server allows mRounds to send automated email notifications to stakeholders about task completions, issues, and important updates. This connection ensures timely communication about maintenance operations.
- Establish a Connection with SAP for Data Integration and Rounds Maintenance
  The SAP integration allows mRounds to send critical rounds data directly into an SAP system. This connection is essential for synchronizing maintenance data with the organization’s SAP ERP system, enabling automated work order creation and maintenance tracking.
- Establish a Connection with Enablon for EHS Incident Management
  If an Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) issue is raised in the mRounds application, the details are automatically transferred to the Enablon incident management tool, creating a corresponding event. Additionally, if an SAP notification is generated for the same issue, mRounds sends the notification number along with the issue details to Enablon.
Onboard Tenants/Super Admins
Use the Tenant Management module to create tenant or super admin roles for onboarded customers/user and provide access to the applications and modules.
Create and Manage Master Data
Master Data forms the foundation of the system, providing essential information such as plants, shifts, locations, assets, units of measurement, and response sets. Properly setting up master data ensures seamless work order management, asset tracking, and operational efficiency.
Onboard Users and Assign Roles
Use the User Management module to create roles and so on, create users, and assign relevant roles to the users.
Invoke mRounds Tasks using APIs
Innovapptive exposes certain APIs that can be consued by applications and create tasks like creating operator rounds, dynamically generate round plans, and so on.
