PRN-Dateien entstehen oft dort, wo niemand mehr damit rechnet: aus älteren CAD-Systemen, Lagerverwaltungssoftware oder Buchhaltungsprogrammen, die seit Jahrzehnten zuverlässig ihren Dienst tun. Das Format war ursprünglich für den Druckertreiber gedacht – nicht für die Weiterverarbeitung. Wer solche Dateien heute in Excel öffnen möchte, steht vor einem unnötigen Umweg. Unser Konverter wandelt PRN direkt in XLSX um, ohne dass Daten verloren gehen oder Spalten verrutschen. Die Verarbeitung findet ausschließlich auf unseren Servern statt und unterliegt der DSGVO. Hochgeladene Dateien werden nach der Konvertierung automatisch gelöscht – kein Speichern, kein Weitergeben.
- Maschinendaten aus SINUMERIK- oder HEIDENHAIN-Steuerungen aufbereiten
- Lieferscheine und Bestandslisten aus SAP-Altsystemen in Excel überführen
- Prüfprotokolle aus der Qualitätssicherung tabellarisch auswerten
Besonders in der DACH-Region werden PRN-Dateien häufig noch von ERP-Systemen wie Sage 100 oder älteren Navision-Installationen erzeugt, die in mittelständischen Betrieben weit verbreitet sind. Eine direkte Konvertierung nach XLSX spart den manuellen Umweg über einen Druckertreiber oder Texteditor.
