Shop floor control
From creating a production schedule to dispatching and real-time tracking of work orders (WO) to production data capture for labour management and traceability requirements, SOLOCHAIN™ MES is a complete, powerful tool. Integrating various mobile technologies ensures that the information is available in real-time directly on the production floor. Production schedules are visible directly at the production stations. Operators use hand-held devices to confirm material movement. Real-time execution enables real time visibility.
Product and ingredient recalls demand immediate attention. Consider that a product recall costs more 5 timesre than the initial distribution. With SOLOCHAIN™, traceability is imbedded in the manufacturing process, allowing for SOLOCHAIN™, traceability becomes part of the manufacturing process, allowing for split second recall reports, including rework tracking, real-time inventory, visibility and control.
Since all products are uniquely identified, complete product life-cycle tracking is available. Based on this data, detailed information is available for dynamic dashboards using key performance indicators giving you proactive control. The user is always one click away from accurate real-time information that allows him/her to make better decisions.
Integrating production and warehouse functions
Warehousing and production operations are complex and require a high level of coordination. SOLOCHAIN™ optimizes execution of tasks using different user-configurable business rules and algorithms. The workload can be dispatched via a radio frequency (RF) network directly to the operators on the floor. Everyone knows what to do, and everything is done in the right sequence with a high level of accuracy. Exceptions are quickly identified by the system and reported for proper actions.
Real time quality control
SOLOCHAIN™ enables real time check-list data gathering and automatically gives corrective actions when an unexpected result is entered. Electronic signatures cover verifications to help ensure precise quality control.
SOLOCHAIN™ manages both material and operational costs for accurate cost control. This information can easily be integrated with an ERP / accounting software program.
