Integration Setup - Parts Integration Assistant (PIA)

About Parts Integration Assistant (PIA)

PIA sends a picklist from the EPC to your approved DMS. It’s used when a DMS can’t use the usual integration methods, and it works by docking a small window onto the DMS screen so you can easily transfer parts.
