MARK/READY turns the marker list you already have — typed by hand, dropped as a messy export, or photographed off the bench — into a verified, priced order on the Power/mation shop. Terminal strips, wire tags, and device plates, in one job. Minutes, not an afternoon.
You didn't get into this trade to be a data-entry clerk. But here you are — retyping the same terminal strip you typed last Tuesday, off a paper list, into a form that wasn't built for how you work.
What you see here is what the software actually does — same order, same words.
Type marker text straight onto a replica of the physical strip — Enter, Tab, arrow keys, the way a fast typist already thinks. Paste a column straight from Excel. Drop the messy export you already have: EPLAN, SolidWorks Electrical, AutoCAD Electrical, or a hand-built sheet. Or snap a phone photo of the handwritten list on the bench — it reads the page and flags every character it wasn't sure about, instead of guessing quietly. Range shorthand like TB1: 1-24 expands into 24 real markers.
Anything that needs a human decision gets flagged in plain English — not an error code. Amber means judgment call. Red means it will misprint. Nothing goes to print until every flag is resolved or you've explicitly accepted it.
And it doesn't just point at problems. Markers reading PE or GND get offered the IEC earth symbol. Text too long for the card gets real options — abbreviate it, break it to two lines, or drop the type size — with an honest warning when the result would be hard to read at arm's length in a live panel. Every fix is click-to-approve. None is applied behind your back.
A pixel-accurate twin of the physical marker card — real part number, real layout, real character limits — editable inline. Change the material, the sheet re-flows. Change the quantity, the price updates while you watch.
And it knows your terminal blocks aren't always Phoenix. Tell it what's on the panel — WAGO, Weidmüller, ABB, Siemens, and more — and it recommends the right marker family straight from Phoenix Contact's own cross-reference catalog, page and all. Brand not covered? It says so plainly and hands your list to a human at the Solutions Group. Never a guess dressed up as certainty.
One approval — not five signatures, not a phone call. The job becomes a ticket and a cart pre-loaded at your real contract pricing on the Power/mation shop. This isn't a new checkout to trust. It's a faster way into the one you already do.
MARK/READY is built for people who check the work. So it shows its work.
Demo jobs are visibly marked and never pretend to be a real order. What you see in the demo is what ships — nothing staged.
Column mapping is confident where it can be, flagged for a human glance where it can't. Every questionable marker gets looked at before anything prints.
When AI mapping isn't available, deterministic rules take over — same result path, and an honest caption says which one did the work.
"How we use your data" is one click from every screen — every signal the portal keeps is disclosed in plain English, and anything that touches your own text is opt-in, off by default. If reading it would surprise you, it doesn't ship.
What lands on your desk is a finished job: order total, contract pricing already applied, a job ticket with a timestamp and an audit trail. The back-and-forth about what the shop actually meant? That category of email goes away.
The exports you already produce — EPLAN, SolidWorks Electrical, AutoCAD Electrical — go in as-is. Columns map to fields with the mapping shown, not hidden. Every marker traces back to the row it came from.
The approved proof IS the job ticket — what the customer signed off is what the operator loads, character for character. The portal knows which Phoenix Contact print systems each branch owns, so it never sells a card the branch can't run: mismatches surface before the order, with routing on the ticket.
Type it. Or drop it. Either way — ready.
