Never lose items again
Items stored in open racking are hard to track. Even when items are neatly stored and labelled there's no way to control who's keeping track of inventory. As soon as someone picks without registering it, your inventory is out of date.
The root cause of delays
These simple administrative errors might lead to larger problems such as missing out on crucial items due to outdated inventory. This could lead to delays in both delivery time and customer project timescales.
Traceability of (semi-) finished products
Keeping track of the different stages of a production process is difficult. The buffer between each production step is prone to errors due to human intervention. This is especially so if several stages of production work are carried out on the same machine with different settings, or if the FIFO method is applied, for which consistent first-in-first-out sequencing is imperative.
