# CERM Connector

Phoenix automation includes seamless integration with the popular CERM MIS System (opens new window). In this integration, Phoenix is driven completely by CERM through its user interface. This combination is especially compelling for sheet-fed label ganging.

# Requirements

Automation of Phoenix within CERM requires the Automate and Imposition AI modules in Phoenix. Phoenix version 8.0 or higher is required to work with CERM 7.28 and above.

# Using the CERM Connector

The steps for getting started are similar to other automation options in Phoenix.

1. Open the Automate Panel in Phoenix

   Go to the Windows menu and click on "Automation". The Automation Panel should appear on the left side of the Phoenix window.

2. Start CERM Connector in Phoenix

   If the Automate panel does not include the CERM Connector, click on the upper left corner of the panel and select "Add CERM Connector" from the dropdown menu.

   

   Right click on the CERM Connector entry in the Automation Panel and click "Start" from the context menu to start the service. CERM MIS can now access Phoenix automation.
