Product Description
Work-in-Process Software for Real-Time Visibility in Manufacturing
BarScan Technologies offers powerful Work-in-Process (WIP) tracking software that can work stand-alone or by automatically exchanging data with a broad range of ERP or accounting systems, quality control, process control and test systems. Our advanced, modular software solution provides improvements for your manufacturing operation with measurable ROI allowing you to:
- Collect operational data in real-time, including data from process control and test systems, sensors, scales and other sources of data
- Collect activity-based cost data in real-time so cost overruns on jobs can be spotted quickly and action taken before other customer orders are impacted, including labor time data and allocated vs. actual time comparisons
- Label product packaging containers automatically and in real-time to comply with each customers specific requirements and prevent rejections or penalties due to mislabeling
- See production problems easily, as they occur, and take immediate corrective action
- Provide information to customers about the real-time status of their orders through web-portals or mobile devices
- Exchange data between systems automatically so information is shared between departments as soon as it is available or approved for release--including data between ERP, Accounting, CRM, E-Commerce, EDI, shipping/transport customer, supplier and third party logistics systems
- Provide real-time alerts and warnings when mistakes have been--or are about to be made
- Collect traceability data of materials so the source of any defects can be determined quickly and corrective action taken before resulting in a major recall--including process data needed by manufacturing engineers to determine probable cause and effect
- Make operational status available in real-time, including customer orders, jobs, inventory, work-in-process, receipts and shipments
Track Materials In Real Time For Immediate Visibility
With Work-in-Process software, materials are tracked online in real time, allowing immediate visibility into a work order and immediate responsiveness if action is needed.
Track the raw materials used in each step, the flow of materials into and out of each job step, and the finished goods after the final step.
Enhanced Mobility and FlexibilityOur WIP solutions are engineered with mobility in mind, making it simpler to transfer components throughout your workspace. Customizable options allow you to adapt dimensions and features for your unique requirements, while corrosion-resistant construction ensures long-term reliability, especially in demanding environments.
Innovative Support for Industrial WorkflowsDesigned for industrial environments, WIP systems streamline production processes by facilitating efficient movement and storage of unfinished products. Catering to manufacturers and suppliers, these units optimize operational flow and reduce handling time, ultimately boosting productivity in your facility.
FAQs of Work in Progress WIP:
Q: How can Work in Progress (WIP) units benefit my manufacturing process?
A: WIP units help organize and transport incomplete products efficiently, reducing production delays, improving workflow, and enhancing overall productivity thanks to their mobility and robust, corrosion-resistant design.
Q: What customization options are available for WIP solutions?
A: WIP units can be tailored in terms of size, configuration, and additional features to match specific operational requirements, ensuring a seamless fit for various industrial applications.
Q: When should I consider using a WIP system in my operation?
A: WIP systems are advisable when your production involves multiple stages or frequent movement of semi-finished goods, enabling smoother transitions between processes and minimizing handling times.
Q: Where can I purchase WIP solutions in India?
A: You can obtain WIP units from established distributors, exporters, manufacturers, service providers, and suppliers operating across India, who offer reliable and customizable solutions for industrial needs.
Q: What is the process for ordering a customized WIP unit?
A: The process starts with discussing your specifications and requirements with the supplier, followed by design approval, manufacturing, and delivery according to your unique operational demands.
Q: How are WIP systems typically used in a facility?
A: They serve as transport and storage devices for semi-finished products, allowing smooth movement between workstations and aiding in better workflow management within factories or warehouses.
Q: What makes corrosion resistance an important feature for WIP units?
A: Corrosion resistance ensures longevity and reliability of WIP units, especially in environments exposed to moisture or harsh chemicals, ultimately reducing maintenance costs and product downtime.
