Automation from plant floor to warehouse
Infor Factory Track automates and simplifies plant floor and inventory operations
Your manufacturing operations rely on streamlined processes to meet customer expectations for speed, accuracy, and value. Efficiency throughout your organization is critical. Yet, many companies continue to rely on outdated processes. This gap between the plant floor and your enterprise solution can be costly - wasting time, materials, and productivity.
The shop floor and warehouse need automation systems that can simplify operations and enhance traceability.
Factory Track have three modules:
- Warehouse Mobility - For managing inventory movements via barcoding
- Time Track - For automating labor tracking and attendance operations
- Shop Floor- For automating work center operations on the production floor and improving manufacturing productivity and efficiency.
Warehouse Mobility
Combines reliable barcode scanning technology with convenient mobile device support and the rich capabilities of Infor ERP solutions to extend processing power out to the shipping docks and warehouse spaces where raw resources, back up parts, and finished goods reside.Time Track
With Time Track, your employees can use a single user interface (UI) to report their work statuses, while your line managers can visit dashboards to review employee data from the entire organization. You get a comprehensive solution that collects attendance data, manages labor transactions, and organizes data for processing by your payroll and ERP applications. Your line managers will be able to oversee employee clock-ins and clock-outs for shifts, lunches, and breaks, as well as planned and unplanned absences. They will also be able to see when jobs start and stop, in addition to the quantities of items your employees produce.
Shop Floor
Shop Floor is a work center automation solution that features full touch screen capability, along with barcode scanning and label printing capabilities. With these tools, you can improve communications between the office and production floor.
You get a simple, convenient user interface that helps automate work center operations - from capturing labor against jobs, team operations, and issuing job materials, to reporting finished goods and viewing all relevant documents. Employees can collect both indirect and direct labor such as run, setup, and machine hours.
Employees can access documents and routing notes associated with jobs, and also report completed, moved, and rejected quantities with multiple reason codes on the job. For assembly operations that require more than one operator, the module also supports dynamic team concepts. Managers can build a team on the fly before the start of the shift and with one operation, equally assign labor hours for each member of the team.
You also get support for material transactions, including job receipts, just-in-time production, as well as feature-rich Kanban functionality.
Extend the value of your ERP solution to the last mile
To fuel growth and stay ahead of the competition, you need to look for new ways to improve your operations.
With Infor Factory Track, you get the tools you need to reduce on-hand inventory and carrying costs, enforce compliance, track true labor costs, and eliminate manual manufacturing processes. With automated processes and greater efficiency, you’ll be able to gain the strategic edge you need to stay ahead of your competition.
Gain a competitive edge
Infor Factory Track is an end-to-end manufacturing automation solution that covers inventory and production processes, from the time raw materials are received in the warehouse, through the manufacturing floor, all the way to shipping finished goods.
With Factory Track, your plant operations can gain a competitive edge by:
Automating inbound and outbound handling
Automate and standardize inventory handling via a powerful barcoding solution. Configure multiple fields in a single barcode to improve handling speed and reduce manual input. In addition, achieve shipping accuracy while reducing returns by validating that the right finished goods are shipped to the right customers.
Automating your work center
Reduce dependencies on job packets and outdated paper-based information. With the Shop Floor module, plant operators can now access latest job and operation information, execute run, set, machine and indirect operations, enter quality test results and even view any relevant notes and documentation.
Better managing teams and multi-jobs
Do you have situations where multiple employees work in teams? How about one employee working on multiple jobs? What about a combination of teams of employees working multiple jobs? Get the ability to handle complex labor rules and accruals with built-in support for teams and multi-job situations.
Adding attendance rules
With over 200 configurable parameters that handle overtime rules, shift rules, grace periods, absences etc. The Time Track module allows manufacturers to map their attendance rules into the Time Track business engine to enable shift supervisors and team leads real-time access to their employees’ activities.
Improving track and trace
Improve visibility to handle containers, lot tracked items and even multi-level hierarchies of serialized components. Not only does this help improve regulatory compliance but also improve tracking & traceability of critical components, sub-assemblies and end items both during assembly and in case of a recall.
Adding support for Lean manufacturing
Factory Track offers support to handle inventory replenishment requests for Kanban items through purchase orders, JIT production orders, stock moves, and warehouse transfers.
