Production Management System Using GeneXus 8.0

"At MH Software we have developed a web-based system for the production area, that runs on Linux and uses PostgreSQL as a database and the GeneXus 8.0 C/SQL generator," Gerardo Abreu explained.

Gerardo Abreu claims that the fact that GeneXus supports Linux and the database engine PostgreSQL is not only official, but also has been proven to work. The system aims at improving business management in the production area by using different tools that are meant to enhance operation and optimize the use of allocated resources in different stages: budget, planning, implementation, checks, product assessment, purchase management, and stock management.

In addition, the system is web-based in order to meet the need for quick and easy access from different locations. The technologies used were the C/SQL for Linux generator, and PostgreSQL as database engine. Abreu said that this has been his first experience in using PostgreSQL, and that he considers it to be a "robust tool."

Since the system will be used by different companies, the new Themes object of GeneXus 8.0 have also been used. This will make it easy to change the way the application looks, depending on the client.

Concerning GeneXus 8.0, he said that "the new scheme for handling subtypes enables better modeling and works well. This translates into major savings in the amount of code written, as many complex things can now be solved with subtypes," stressed Abreu.

Besides, "the use of subtypes and transactions as web components simplifies and lowers the cost of maintaining the system, which allows us to have less code in the model," he explained.

Abreu highlighted that using enumerated data makes development more efficient by having everything documented; he also stressed that javascript integration is much easier with the new GeneXus 8.0.
