Shop Floor Data Collection

From receiving, shipping, material and physical inventory to cycle counting, labor reporting, label generation and RFID, abundant amounts of data continuously circulate through your shop floor. To stay ahead of the competition, it’s imperative that you capture it in a timely fashion.

With Made2Manage Systems’ Shop Floor Data Collection (SFDC), you can finally collect, arrange and analyze all your critical shop floor data in a highly efficient manner.

SFDC eliminates the stacks of barcoded documents that typically clutter the shop floor. By simply scanning a Purchase Order, Shipper or Job Order Number, you can electronically select the items to be received, shipped and issued. Additionally, SFDC allows you to say goodbye to the days of carrying around a warehouse location list and running from terminal to terminal to look-up inventory locations. With prominently displayed inventory locations, you can now easily store, transfer or issue material.

Because of its thin-client architecture, SFDC supports a wide-range of data collection devices, including simple hardwired units and powerful mobile RF handheld devices from such leading vendors as Intermec, Symbol and Computerwise. As a result, your existing hardware can be easily integrated with other dissimilar hardware devices on the same network.

SFDC has also been designed with enough flexibility to conform to your specific needs. You can easily customize the shop floor solution to fit any of the following applications:

• Email shipping notices
• Directed picking
• Automated quantity-to-weight conversions
• Shipping/receiving/pallet label printing
• Auto-generation of lot numbers, printing of shippers
• Order pulling by sales order number
• Custom validations
• Multi-language support
