Atuomates Inter-plant Transfers of WIP

The SPEDE Inter-plant Transfer module automates the process of tracking Work-in-Process that is shipped between your facilities for additional processing.

Inter-plant inventory transfers are recorded automatically by scanning the serial numbers of the outgoing units of material, eliminating the need for paperwork and data entry, and providing a precise record of all inventory sent to outside processing. You will know exactly what was shipped, when, and to where.

Automates Transfers of Work-in-Process to Outside Facilities

Tracks Transferred WIP by Serial Number

SPEDE enables all of your facilities to utilize the same serialized inventory label and SPEDE software platform to track and trace work-in-process inventory shipped between your facilities.

At a Shipping facility, the outbound containers are scanned or RFID-read as they are loaded into the trailer. This procedure automatically creates an electronic manifest of the trailer's contents, similar to an ASN. The SPEDE System at your Shipping facility sends this "internal ASN" to the SPEDE System at your Destination facility, notifying them of the shipment en route.

At a Destination facility, the arriving material is received via scanning or RFID. The SPEDE System at this facility automatically verifies the receipts against the "internal ASN", and receives the Work-in-Process inventory. Lot/serial traceability continue as the WIP inventory is processed at the Destination facility.

When the Work-in-Process is completed, the same scan-to-ship procedure is used to transfer the Work-in-Process back to the Shipping facility, which again creates an internal ASN to provide an exact record of inventory items and traceability.
