INSTALLATION

General
Summa GoData is a software tool that gathers data from your workflow. Once GoProduce is connected, GoData starts collecting information on outputting a job from GoProduce. Consequently, all job information from each GoProduce connected to a machine is stored, allowing you to analyse this data and reduce machine downtime.

NOTE: Connecting your GoProduce to GoData is protected with a license code.

NOTE: We recommend installing GoData on a computer that can be accessed from your production floor. This way, connecting GoProduce to GoData through HTTP or HTTPS should be an easy process.

Specifications

To define the PC specifications for the installation, consider the following requirements and recommendations:

• Windows 10 (Professional – Enterprise)/11 (Professional – Enterprise) 64-bit, with the latest updates and Service Pack.
• It must have a network connection, at least to the internal network.
• At least 5 GB of free disk space is needed.

Additionally, please ensure the following:

• Allow port 8009 if the PC has a configured firewall.
• Enable ping requests on the GoData PC, as GoProduce sends a ping request for verification.
