Use case
Production workflow optimization with RTLS
How to track the replenishment of production lines and avoid production line shutdowns
Requirements
Shop floor optimisation with live monitoring and automated replenishment
- Increase the visibility of the production process and material flows to identify improvement opportunities
- Enable automated replenishment policies monitoring in real-time the safety stock tracking the cases available at each processing station
- Optimize material flows (replenishment, end-of-line, empty cases) and material handling by the operators on the production floor
RTLS Solution
Direct locating using UWB or BLE technology
Direct locating is achieved by using battery-based tags associated with people and fixed infrastructure, using the technology best suited to the required accuracy.
Benefits and results
Advantages of the RTLS solution applied to the optimisation of production line replenishment processes
Improved efficiency by reducing scanning steps, automating replenishment activities, and optimizing material and operator flows
Increased process transparency and reliable data to support continuous improvement and total quality processes
