Important Update: ABSSolute Backend Transition from SOAP to REST

We are excited to announce a significant backend update in ABSSolute V9.8 with the introduction of the new REST (Representational State Transfer) protocol for data exchange. REST will completely replace SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) from ABSSolute V9.9
As applications rely on various programming languages and platforms, seamless data sharing becomes crucial. While both SOAP and REST were designed to address this challenge, SOAP’s rigid structure has increasingly become restrictive and complex. REST, on the other hand, offers greater flexibility, speed, and simplicity.

Key advantages of REST include:

– Improved performance
– Faster development and deployment
– Easier integration with modern platforms and technologies

Impact on Existing Installations

With the release of ABSSolute V9.8, both SOAP and REST are supported. However, REST is highly recommended for better performance. Starting with ABSSolute V9.9, SOAP will be phased out completely.

To ensure a smooth transition for customers upgrading to V9.9 or higher, each mobile device running an ABSSolute App will need to be updated individually. A new setting, ‘Mobile REST Services’, must be activated in the app’s system settings under ‘Communication Settings’.

Robotics integration with ABSSolute

Through some solid partnerships, we’ve introduced robotics integration with ABSSolute.
At Rentex’ (Bolsward, NL) Linen Packing department, the Movexx AGV is pulling containers and stops at all packing spots as defined in ABSSolute.
At the garment services side, ABSSolute is seamlessly feeding data to the Metricon/JENSEN system for sorting followed by automatic container loading.

A custom-made robot from DBM International is taking care of all the repetitive container loading tasks. Based on ABSSolute Product/Volume information the unique identified containers are being filled.
Once that’s done, delivery documents are generated, printed and attached and the AGV whisks the filled containers over to the expedition area.

And as milestone, RENTEX has been working with ABS solutions for almost 30 years now, covering everything from Linen, Garments and Residential Services.

Container / Transportation Services

At ABS we’re constantly striving to improve our software solutions to meet your needs efficiently and effectively.
In our ongoing efforts to optimize laundry operations, we have integrated advanced technologies such as RFID and unique coding into our systems.

These innovations have revolutionized the way we manage containers/boxes, making them an indispensable component of our service provision.

With RFID and unique coding, you will gain invaluable insights into usage patterns, allowing you to track and trace containers with unprecedented accuracy.
This enhanced visibility has shed light on instances of misuse, non-returned containers, and even complete loss.

We’re excited to inform you that our ABSSolute system offers comprehensive tracking capabilities, including delivery and pickup at your customer locations.

Moreover, this all is supported with extensive new billing options in case of container (mis)use and loss.

Our commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction drives us to continually seek ways to enhance our services.
