iMTATs Intelligent Agents

The Intelligent Materials Tracking and Traceability Software (iMTATs) is an integrated set of software that enables manufacturers and distributors of food, pharmaceutical, medical and cosmetic products to be compliant with the regulations of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) without drowning in paperwork.

Behind the scenes, all the data exchange work is done by Intelligent Agents, which are periodically scheduled tasks which perform tasks such as:

1. Importing data into the ERD from one or more iMTATs data collection systems.
2. Extracting data from incoming EPCIS and EDI files and updating the ERD
3. Sending EPCIS and EDI files when products are shipped to downstream trading partners
4. Exchanging data with ERP, accounting and shipping/logistics systems.
5. Monitoring the ERD to determine whether there are potential product safety issues and generating an alert by Email or Text Message to appropriate people.

These agents are controlled by scripts written in Python so that their actions can be easily modified to fit the needs of each organization.
