Real-time WIP tracking and control
Real-time WIP Tracking The SPEDE System Work-in-Process module tracks WIP by serialized unit using integrated RFID and/or barcode scanning. Serialized barcode or RFID WIP labels can be printed on-demand to identify each unit of WIP.
As the WIP moves from one operation to the next, its serial number can be scanned, or RFID-read, to confirm it is being correctly routed, to automatically record its new location, and/or report production totals. Production receipts are automatically sent to the ERP system on a scheduled basis.
SPEDE Advantages:
- Real-time WIP tracking and visibility by serialized unit
- Uses RFID and/or barcode scanning to automate shop floor processes including production reporting, counts and location transfers
- Tracks Inter-Plant Transfers of WIP
- Creates Lot/Serial traceability from Raw Material components into WIP
- Provides Data Mining tools to monitor Actual vs. Scheduled production, and identify trends and trouble spots

Automated WIP Production Reporting
You can eliminate labor-intensive counting and data entry methods by using RFID and/or barcode scanning to automate production reporting and other shop floor processes. A simple scan of the serialized WIP unit will report its part/quantity data automatically, and provide accurate real-time production totals.
Using serial numbers to control production reporting prevents the recording of duplicate production receipts, which affect inventory accuracy and material planning decisions.
Serialized production reporting also prevents non-reporting of production, and eliminates “negative inventory” conditions by ensuring the product is receipted before it can be moved.
Real-time Production Visibility
Real-time Production Data The SPEDE database of inventory and production data can be accessed via browser 24/7, regardless of whether your host system is available or not.
This means your plant and enterprise personnel can view real-time production data at an individual facility, by order number, machine, shift, work cell, etc., and view status information such as quarantines.
Management can compare actuals to schedules, identify issues that require immediate action, and spot emerging trends that can cause problems down the line.
Use RFID and/or RF for Shop Floor Automation
Use RFID or Scanning The SPEDE wireless platform supports the mixed use of RFID, barcode scanning, and RF-enabled weigh scales, TouchScreens and wireless printers to automate processes throughout your shop floor.
Wireless handheld, forklift and portal devices are used to record production receipts, track WIP and record location transfers. Wireless printers mounted to powercarts can be positioned wherever they are needed to print serialized barcode or RFID labels labels on demand.
Labels can be affixed to WIP units or to Kanban cards. The labels can be read by scanning and/or by RFID readers located at key points throughout the production area, or by portable forklift-mounted RFID readers enabling complete automation of shop floor business processes.
