Operators roam the plant making all kinds of decisions. Empower them with all the data they need in real time and let them make the decisions right on the spot where the action is happening.

  • Find scheduled material for a determined line
  • Find products of a determined shipping order
  • Check the shipping products on the truck
  • Perform inventory checks
  • Instantly access any product's quality report

 

Backend

This system is based on Microsoft SQL Server with webservices developed in a .NET architecture.

Integration

This solution can be integrated into:

  • ERP system such as SAP, JDE, Axiom or in-house AS400 or Oracle systems
  • Plant Floor, MES, Level 2 systems
  • Weighing systems and gate scales
  • Truck logistics systems

Frontend

The mobile application is based on Windows Mobile platform using the .NET compact framework. We also provide HTML5 webpages for reports and maintenance.

There are several ways of entering information: Barcode, RFID tags and predictive text capabilities in most cases.

Connectivity

Total WiFi coverage might be difficult in large plants. We developed the mobile application with store and forward capabilities so that the operators can continue their work while they are off the WiFi network. The system will then synchronize itself once it is reconnected.
