Production Tracking Challenges
Manufacturing operations need real-time visibility to optimize flow, ensure quality, and meet delivery commitments. Our WIP tracking solutions address these critical needs.
Production Visibility Gaps
Without real-time tracking, managers cannot see where work orders are in the production process, making it impossible to provide accurate delivery estimates or identify bottlenecks.
Cycle Time Uncertainty
Manual tracking methods cannot capture accurate cycle times at each workstation, preventing identification of process inefficiencies and capacity constraints.
Quality Traceability Issues
When defects are discovered, tracing back to the specific batch, operator, or process step is difficult without automated tracking, complicating root cause analysis.
WIP Inventory Accumulation
Excess work-in-process inventory ties up capital and floor space. Without visibility, WIP builds up at bottleneck stations while other areas sit idle.
Schedule Adherence Problems
Production schedules become meaningless when actual progress cannot be tracked in real-time, leading to missed deadlines and expediting costs.
Manual Data Entry Burden
Operators spending time on paperwork and data entry reduces productive capacity and introduces errors that compromise production reporting accuracy.
Complete WIP Tracking Platform
Purpose-built hardware and software for tracking work orders through every stage of your production process.
Production Flow Tracking
Automated tracking of work orders through each production stage using RFID readers at workstations, providing real-time visibility into production progress.
