eKanban Parts Replenishment Solution

 

eKanban over Wi-Fi Creates Real-Time Inventory Visibility

In todays on-demand, unpredictable landscape, manufacturers need precise, real-time information to support a lean global supply chain. Without visibility into materials consumption, inventory levels cannot equal the pace of production, wasting capital, floor space, labor and time.

 

Parts replenishment (kanban) systems aim to provide this insight, but fall short in practice. Physical Kanban cards get lost or damaged, and manual parts requests are inefficient. Pulling the incorrect components from storage or delivering to the wrong work cell increases downtime. Further, empty containers obstruct pathways on the shop floor, or become lost in another area of the factory. Wired call boxes for parts replenishment are useful, but they involve extensive shop layout design and expensive cabling. These hard-wired configurations leave companies unable to easily adapt and respond to new product and market opportunities.

 

How the IoEworX eKanban Solution Works

The IoEworX eKanban Solution equips manufacturers to manage a lean supply chain while avoiding stock outs, production delays and misspent capital. Rugged,Wi-Fi-enabled call button tags on parts carriers eliminate replenishment complexity and lower installation costs. And operations managers have maximum flexibility to react to new shop-floor layouts and customer demands. With efficient just-in-time (JIT) hubs, materials don’t fill build space and labor never waits for parts. Assembly stays on budget and on schedule. Through inventory and production systems integration, plants capture operational metrics to analyze and improve processes, creating agile factories that move at the speed of demand.
