Shop Floor Integration: bringing production and management together

From sensor to ERP

 

Simplified processes

More production throughput

Fewer material bottlenecks

Lower personnel costs

Less waste

Integration into existing infrastructures

Sensor meets software

Sensors can do a lot

For example, they can be used to monitor the health of a machine or system. Or with the help of temperature measurements, vibration monitoring, flow rate determination or by means of information on contamination, compressed air and cycle rate, many processes can be controlled more effectively, malfunctions avoided and rejects reduced.

But there is even more!

Imagine that this information is not only available directly at the machine, but also flows into the ERP system. Actions can then be triggered there, e.g. timely disposition of maintenance personnel and tools, precise triggering of spare parts orders or information aggregation to find out where faults, rejects or waste constantly and repeatedly occur.

Sounds good, doesn't it? But how?

It works with a software solution that is perfectly adapted to your sensor system and seamlessly embedded in the ERP system. In this way, all information about consumed materials, available tools, track and trace information about containers and materials, about capacities, replenishment times, sales forecasts, stock levels, safety stocks etc. can flow together, be evaluated and used. This creates maximum transparency in the processes of your supply chain!

Perfect match!

When intelligent sensor technology and sophisticated supply chain software come together, you get unprecedented transparency in your intralogistics. Your supply chain can be controlled more effectively, all process participants take part and use the same data. Your business processes become digital and networked. This creates a central nervous system that makes your supply chain controllable. We make complex supply chain processes controllable. By way of experience, expert knowledge and simplification, we make companies even more successful. Discover us!

Automated supply chain management with Kanban – isn't Kanban outdated?

On the contrary: Kanban is more relevant than ever because digitalisation has paved the way for this proven methodology to be used in the modern era. Kanban 4.0 no longer works on a traditional paper basis, but completely electronically, which offers the following advantages:

  • Real-time information: Through integration with IT systems, stocks and material flows can be monitored in real-time
  • Increased efficiency: automated processes reduce manual effort and minimise errors
  • Flexibility: e-Kanban systems can be easily adapted to different company sizes and industries
  • Integration of new technologies: modern hardware such as RFID readers and smart sensors can be easily integrated

We would be happy to demonstrate how e-Kanban works. Request your non-binding appointment now!

Put an end to paperwork in goods receiving and picking!

Today, goods receiving and picking are done electronically. Thanks to modern sensors, it is possible to reliably and quickly detect pallets, containers, and piece goods, store them systemically, and process them automatically.

The main advantages:

  • Increased accuracy: Sensors can minimise errors in detecting and processing goods by providing accurate data in real-time.
  • Time savings: Automated processes with sensors reduce manual work and speed up goods receipt and picking
  • Cost reduction: By reducing errors and optimising workflows, companies can save costs
  • Inventory control: Sensors enable continuous monitoring of inventory levels, resulting in better inventory management and fewer bottlenecks
  • Improved traceability: sensor-based systems can accurately track the movement of goods, increasing transparency and traceability
  • Enhanced safety: automated systems can also improve warehouse safety by detecting and reporting potential hazards

No magic, just modern warehouse logistics. Would you like to learn more about specific technologies or implementation strategies?
