WATS Hosting Options at a Glance<\/h2>\n

Both our cloud and on-premises installations<\/a> offer exceptional functionality for handling test and repair data, centralized in a database, lake, or warehouse. To access WATS, you can either use the WATS Client or the Rest API \u2013 so no matter your needs, there\u2019s an option that will fit.<\/p>\n

Rest API: Integration, Automation, and Efficiency<\/h2>\n

The Rest API is a fantastic tool for integrating WATS with other server applications (ERP, PLM, PDM, MES, etc.), reporting applications<\/a> (PowerBI, Tableau, Minitab, etc.), or reading\/writing test and repair reports.<\/p>\n

When using the rest API, the user may read and\/or write data to WATS. The user must use a 3rd party application that connects securely with the Rest API and handles the communication. As one example, if you try to upload a report to WATS and the connection or transfer fails, the 3rd party application must handle error scenarios and then retransmit.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]\n

Your Gateway to Seamless Data Management<\/h2>\n

The WATS client boasts a rich API that communicates with the WATS Server application. Divided into TDM and MES, it handles test and repair reports, unit information, software distribution, assets, workflows, and more<\/a>. The client is built for robustness, ensuring secure uploads and downloads, even when faced with poor network connections or even network failures.<\/p>\n

Online Connection Dependence: A Calculated Decision<\/h2>\n

Integrating the Rest API \u2013 or certain WATS functions \u2013 into your test application can create a dependency on an online connection to WATS. It’s essential to weigh the risks and benefits of this decision, as connectivity issues can disrupt testing and production. However, when working correctly, this dependency can greatly improve your application’s value.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” bottom_padding=”2%” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]\n
