    The latest release, Version 6.2, includes new functionality for integrating business systems, as well as enhanced plant floor capabilities in the areas of error proofing, traceability, and plant floor integration.
    ALTA Business Integrator, a highly flexible tool, handles the import and export of business data in a manner that is easy to configure, or reconfigure, if necessary.
