Industry: Optimization in Shop Floor management

Digitalization is not (yet) a matter of course everywhere

Those who are unable to map the material flows of processes transparently, who organize transports and supply production on demand, are wasting valuable throughput.

Increase efficiency and throughput with our digital solutions for Shop Floor in industry. Based on our software platform, they offer added value in various industrial sectors such as mechanical and plant engineering, vehicle and agricultural machinery construction, shipbuilding, metal production and processing, electronics and optics, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, ...

Transparency at Shop Floor
with location tracking and eLabel

Location tracking and e-label technologies complement existing Shop Floor control systems by significantly increasing transparency and efficiency.

These technologies reduce manual intervention, improve inventory accuracy and accelerate decision-making processes. In combination with existing systems such as ERP, MES or WMS, they optimise the entire value creation process. An optimization of the entire Shop Floor management.

How our solutions make your factory smarter

The path to the smart factory

The clever INDUTRAX software modules significantly extend the path from digital data acquisition to automatic transparency in the digital factory and autonomous processes in the smart factory, because all available data is correlated and analysed - in real time. This is a continuous process of improvement: the smart factory is constantly getting smarter.

Steps on the way to the smart factory

Use cases for process support in the industry with INDUTRAX

Processes at Shop Floor become transparent through the integration of location tracking and identification technologies as well as Shop Floor systems such as e-labels and wearables into your enterprise system landscape. Work without media discontinuity and predictive worker guidance lead to drastic improvements.

Movement histories for material flows form the basis for data-driven, continuous improvement processes and ensure higher throughput and greater efficiency in your production.

Use cases with INDUTRAX

Find instead of search

Movable assets (parts, components, semi-finished and finished products, load carriers, vehicles, production aids) travel distances.

For temporary storage in various indoor and outdoor areas, sometimes also in external locations. Nevertheless, you always know where they are and how far they have traveled. This saves search times and empty runs.

  • Real-time visualization of object positions in maps for transparency of material flows in production
  • Individually defined search criteriaand display of results in list form (e.g. orders in the buffer with indication of dwell-times)
  • Integration of Pick-To-Light to quickly find even stacked objects
  • Use of tracking technologies in combination for cost-effective implementation

Digital information with e-label

Information on movable assets as well as machines and systems changes over the course of processing. With e-labels, these are adapted to the situation, at the touch of a button or by rule, and digitally available directly at Shop Floor.

Notes on processing or clarification requirements are displayed immediately. This drastically reduces errors during production and eliminates all paper and printing costs. That is sustainable digitalization.

  • Real-time visualization and updating of object information on e-labels for transparency about production statuses
  • Customised designs and data content
  • Integration of Pick-to-Light to indicate the need for action
  • Feedback and confirmation of instructions at the touch of a button
