After you Specify a machine and add programming to your process definition in FactoryLogix Office, you're ready to edit the machine-specific properties and make any necessary changes. FactoryLogix interacts directly with the Juki IS JUKI software by using a cache; this cache is stored in the Juki.mdb file. The Juki JUKI machine Properties dialog is used to configure the connection to the Juki IS JUKI server and specify where to store local cache packages and part numbers.
