  • New ProMaster8 Updates Deliver Improved Speed & Efficiency
New updates from ProMaster8 make your keying room faster & more efficient

We’re pleased to announce a couple of important new updates from the team at WH-Software that will help you boost efficiency and save time when building larger master key systems. 

update 1)    unocode F-series direct communication

The first update is a reminder about the ‘direct communication’ method with Silca’s Unocode F-Series machines. Now you can send jobs to the machine from any PC on the same network that’s running ProMaster8 – you no longer need to have the SKP installed. SKP is still required on one PC on the network for configuring the machine, particularly engraving models. 

The new transmission is about 7 times faster – noticeable when you’re working on large systems. You can also read the queue from the UCF, and view it in Pm8 with the option to remove keys from the queue. 

WH-Software also allow you to associate marking/engraving models from the UCF with the key profile, so the correct engraving model are used automatically when sending jobs to the UCF. This works the same way as it does for the Marker2000. update 2)    futura pro | additional support for popular keying products

WH-Software have released integration with Silca’s FuturaPro and ProMaster8 to support EVVA keying systems including 3KS+ and 4KS. With 4KS growing in popularity, more customers were wanting to use their FuturaPro to cut keys on the go in vans, or in remote locations. We’d recommend a Triax family machine, or the new Quattrocode D-Series for serious performance when cutting EVVA 3KS+ or 4KS keys in a shop. Update 3)    automation | keep your data safe

Automate your backups and sleep a little easier ProMaster has always (since Version 3) offered an easy to configure automatic backup tool. We strongly recommend you spend the time to ensure it’s set up, and that your backups are being made AND are being copied to another location on your network – typically an external drive, or a cloud location. 

With IT security remaining a hot topic for all businesses, and with locksmiths holding so much valuable information, ensuring your data is backed up internally (to cover device failure) and externally (to cover building damage or cybersecurity attacked) is critical.
