Logistics and production

Speed, accuracy and flexibility has become increasingly important for many companies. It is also increasingly demanded by customers and can make the difference with the competition. But it can also contribute to cost reduction.

This requires some adjustments sometimes. A department should mainly be concerned with its key activities. Especially in the production and warehouse, administration is often perceived as a secondary activity that is disruptive to the real work. As it should. This should be kept to a minimum and should not lead to delays. However, administration is necessary. Some examples of administration on the work floor:

• Control of warehouse or production orders
• Requesting additional information
• Registration of hours
• Registration of stock
• Registration of inventory location
• Registration of receipts
• Registration of progress
• Registration of consumption
• Registration finished products
• Registration of deliveries
• Quality check
• Printing labels
• Printing accompanying documents

Sometimes just a paper administration will do. Initially, this seems the easiest and cheap but this soon gives additional workload - also for the office - with regard to printing and sorting work, lost or unreadable paper, incorrectly entered data, outdated information or additional administrative entering and correction work afterwards. All in all, many employees are working on this hours per day. Valuable time at the expense of their specialism or other tasks. How can automization contribute to reducing all of this extra work to a minimum and increasing the speed, accuracy and flexibility?

With barcode scanning or RFID quite often much can be achieved.

A step further in the optimization is paperless production.

Also, only parts of this can be adopted so results can be achieved quickly whereas efforts are confined. Sometimes machines or other systems have to be fed with data from the office, or vice versa. For this we can support you as well, with solutions in the field of interfaces, database connections or applications for data extraction.
