Overview of Inventory Control and Traceability

If you are a manufacturer, warehouser or steel processor, we offer three versions of the SPEDE System to control inventory in real-time and automate your material handling processes:

• SPEDE Material Control System for Manufacturers - Controls Raw, WIP and Finished Goods and automates Plant Floor processes from Receiving to Shipping

• SPEDE Warehouse Control System for Warehousers -
  Controls inventory from Receiving through Shipping and automates Warehouse processes

• SPEDE RFID Crane Locator System for Steel Processors
  Real-time automated tracking of serialized steel coils using RFID & RF technologies
  

Each SPEDE Solution gives you:

• Real-time inventory visibility and control
• Real-time data collection using RF and/or RFID devices
• Complete Lot/ Serial Traceability from Receiving through Shipping
• 24/7 access to detailed inventory and event transactions

The SPEDE application modules reside on a server PC connected to your 802.11 network, and manage a real-time network of RF and RFID devices using a thin client architecture.

24x7 Reports & Real-time Inquiries

Inventory Visibility at a Granular Level

The SPEDE Label Database keeps a detailed record of all inventory units for which a label was created. Each record in the contains part number data, quantity, location, lot number and numerous statuses and other fields such as Holds, Quarantines, Allocations and more.

SPEDE also keeps a detailed Event database of all transaction, system and labor events recorded.This database provides forward and backward Lot/Serial Traceability.

You can view this rich detailed inventory and event information via browser-based inquiries and reports, using any RF device connected to the SPEDE network. This information is always available on a 24/7 basis, even if your host system is not.

Data Mining Tools to Analyze Inventory Usage

Material planners and other decision-makers can view and analyze inventory and event data by individual Part Number, to identify and correct problems early on:

• Review consumption trends to identify fast and slow moving Parts numbers, and adjust buying and production

• See how often a part is moved before it's consumed, and adjust warehousing to increase efficiency.

• Identify parts that carry excess quantities and find out why this is, to reduce inventory costs.

• Prioritize improvements based on their financial impact -- carrying costs, cash flow and write-offs -- rather than focusing on inventory turns as the primary measure of improvement.
