Detailed Production Data

Real-time Production Data

Accurate production reporting is essential to efficiently scheduling Raw Material, labor and resources, and to maintaining optimal levels of Work-in-Process (WIP) and Finished Goods inventories.

Under- or- over reporting creates inaccurate inventory balances, and a skewed picture of the requirements needed to meet demand. This in turn can increase inventory and expediting costs, reduce efficiency, and affect delivery dates.

The SPEDE Work-in-Process module automates and error-proofs the Production Reporting process. Using RF handhelds, weigh scales or PLCs, SPEDE records production receipts in real-time, and automatically updates your ERP on a scheduled basis.

SPEDE provides 24/7 access to real-time production data at the individual plant level. Using any PC or wireless device connected to the SPEDE RF network, your personnel can view current production and inventory data by:

• work order
• part number
• machine
• shift
• work cell
• status code, etc.

Management can compare actuals to schedules, and identify issues or trends that may require immediate action to prevent problems down the line.

Scan to Report Production

Error-free Production Reporting via Serial Numbers

Production receipts are recorded by simply scanning the serial number on the WIP label. SPEDE uses serial numbers to control and error-proof the production reporting process.

Once the label is scanned to record a production receipt, it can't be scanned again. This prevents duplicate production receipt transactions, which inflate inventory totals.

Serial number control also ensures that a production receipt is recorded before the unit of WIP can be moved. This eliminates the "negative inventory" condition that would otherwise occur.

Production receipts are automatically sent to the host ERP system on a scheduled basis, eliminating data entry labor and keying errors.
