Knowledge is Receiving At a receiving dock, a truck backs up to the door. A driver uses a forklift to pick up a skid of material from the truck. The driver scans the bar codes from the vendor s shipping labels. Immediately, the receipt is shown as received in MAC-PAC. The truck mount terminal on the forklift directs the driver to cross-dock the goods, move them to inspection, or put them away in the appropriate location. As the goods are stored in the warehouse, the driver scans the location to verify that they have been placed in the correct spot. The Time Clock In the work areas, as a shift changes, employees scan their badges as they enter and exit. Department supervisors immediately know who has arrived for their shift. At shift close, the supervisor reviews attendance information, corrects any inconsistent clocks and automatically forwards the information to payroll. At the Line At the production line, workers use scanning to tell the system what jobs they are working on and at what time. They begin a job by scanning their employee badge, work order number, operation and work center. At completion, they scan their badge, which tells the system to stop accumulating labor time against the work order and operation.
Today s Corporate Currency Picking and Replenishing The supervisor uses a controller program to manage the priority and assignment of the picks. Scanning the location bar code confirms where the goods were drawn from. The operator monitors activity to maintain appropriate inventory levels. If necessary, inventory is replenished. Nutech s systems allow us to efficiently and accurately capture real-time, detailed information on material movement and use from supplier to customer. The result is increased efficiency, better decisions and fewer mistakes. None of this would have been possible without the quality of Nutech s systems and their responsiveness to our actual needs. Mark Milham, Paulstra CRC Complete Shipping Verification In the shipping department, a staged order is moved onto a truck with a single scan of the sales order bar code. For additional shipping verification, individual items may be scanned as they enter the truck. Compliance shipping labels can be printed at production or printed at this time. Master labeling is also supported to further reduce scanning. A Paperless Operation Cycle counting and physical inventories are no longer performed manually. Each counter is equipped with a wireless device that directs them to parts and/or locations to count.
