In today’s volatile economic climate, businesses are constantly exploring ways to better navigate through a harsh manufacturing landscape. Automated identification and data capture (AIDC) solutions are a critical enabler of data-centric manufacturing. They are becoming essential across the shop floor to enable fast and accurate product identification and data capture at scale.

ENHANCING THE 4 STAGES OF MANUFACTURING WITH AIDC SOLUTIONS

Goods Receiving, Storage & Replenishment

Sub-standard goods received
Goods arriving late or less than needed
Stockout or overstocking from inaccurate tracking
Poor coordination with suppliers
Poor communication and order status updates
Poor logistics due to inefficient transportation
Supplier non-compliant with safety and environment regulations

Desired Outcomes

Enhance accuracy, efficiency, and transparency of planning, communication,

and coordination with suppliers and logistics partners - to prevent stockout & overstocking, reducing inventory obsolescence.

Production, Assembly & WIP/JIT

Poor visibility due to bad data or late analysis
Poor inventory management due to inaccurate data
Incorrect identification of components due to low data integrity & bad audit trails
Inefficient manual processes and paper trails lead to bad lineside replenishment

Desired Outcomes

Ensure accurate tracking at every stage for improved visibility and accountability - through accurate scanning and verified labelling - to identify problems at their source and ensure compliance.

Quality Control

Inability to track and trace issues due to poor data
Inability to identify the use of wrong materials in processing
Inability to identify the point of failure for rectification
Poor QC support impeding investigation, swift remediation, and recall of faulty products

Desired Outcomes

Precise tracking of materials and final goods inspection, with simplified, streamlined, integrated and fully visible workflows that result in fewer errors and smarter workflows.

Packing & Shipping

Incorrect labeling, resulting in goods sent to the wrong recipient
Badly printed labels lead to customer rejection
Non-compliant barcode labels and tags lead to losses

Desired Outcomes

Ensuring accurate shipping labels, and proper scanning and verification, leading to automatic verification of adherence to compliance and customer standards
