KEY BENEFITS

Shop floor control

From the creation of the production schedule to dispatching and real-time tracking of work orders (WO) to production data capture for labour management and traceability requirements, SOLOCHAIN™ MES offers a complete and powerful solution. Integrating different mobile technologies ensures that the information is available in real-time directly on the production floor. Production schedules are visible directly at the production stations. Operators use handheld devices to confirm material movement. Real time execution enables real time visibility.

Recalls management

Product and ingredient recalls are operations that demand a lot of attention, especially recognizing the fact that recalling a product involves 5 times the financial resources than distributing it. With SOLOCHAIN™, traceability becomes part of the manufacturing process, allowing for split second recall reports, including rework tracking. Real time inventory visibility and control.

Since all products are uniquely identified, complete product life-cycle tracking is available. Based on this data, detailed information is available for dynamic dashboards using key performance indicators for proactive control. The user is always one click away from accurate real-time information that allows him/her to make better decisions.

Integration of production and warehousing functions.

Warehousing and production operations are complex and require a high level of coordination. SOLOCHAIN™ optimizes execution of tasks using different user-configurable business rules and algorithms. The workload can be dispatched via a radio frequency (RF) network directly to the operators on the floor. Everyone knows what to do, and everything is done in the right sequence with a high level of accuracy. Exceptions are quickly identified by the system and reported for proper actions.

Real time quality control

SOLOCHAIN™ enables real time check-list data gathering and automatically gives corrective actions when an unexpected result is entered. Electronic signatures cover verifications to help ensure complete quality. Precise cost control.

SOLOCHAIN™ manages both material and operational costs for accurate cost control. This information can easily be integrated with an ERP / accounting software program.
