SmartSpace Logistics - Optimize Intra-Logistics Process Flows Software
Optimize process flows through improved process visibility for parts, materials, and kits being commissioned, transported to the line and used in production.
- Automate alerts for shortages in parts and kits, and ensure that instructions are sent preemptively.
- Link material distribution to production schedules to optimize usage.
- Track material usage to prevent wastage and overstocking.
- Use SmartSpace HMIs to support kit creation and perform kit inspections.
- SmartSpace provides a flexible set of tools for recording and analysing object locations and space utilisation over time.
- This information can be used to provide real-time situational awareness necessary to optimise logistics routes and driver order allocations. SmartSpace can automatically monitor which routes are clear and which routes are blocked and re-prioritise fulfilments based on route availability.
SmartSpace can be configured to support any desired movement strategy for goods or inventory. Policies and strategies are configured within the business rules engine of SmartSpace.
Customers can use SmartSpace to visualise inventory status through a number of different UI capabilities, including Web Maps, Dashboards and Reports.
The entire logistics process is tracked in real-time with guided instructions for operators. SmartSpace shows the equipment assigned to each delivery task and controls the instructions given to the operator via a digital display. Using precise location and movement tracking, SmartSpace knows when the material handling equipment arrived at the designated pickup area.
Once delivery is complete, operators are directed to the location of their next task. If delivery is made in the wrong area, alerts will be sent and operators will be guided to the correct location.
- Reliably check parts from 3PL sites into storage, logging the location and quantity of all items.
- Automatically inform production of the levels of inventory available, and how long it will take for a production order to be fulfilled (including time for transportation from storage to production).
- Remove manual elements of check-in, kitting, inspection and delivery – data is automatically entered into IT systems.
- Integrate with other tracking systems, incl. RFID, GPS, BLE, and Vision.
- Finished products are tracked as they are transported to the logistics area and their status is automatically updated.
- No products will leave the site until SmartSpace confirms all necessary checks have been made and approves the product for delivery.
- Order tracking and management leave a full audit trail, including product history.
