Inventory Tracking

An expensive and valuable inventory of materials exists in many of the electronics industries – aerospace, automotive, defense, telecommunication, consumer goods and medical. In many of these high-mix manufacturing environments many manufacturers lose track of their shop-floor inventory, often when employees ignore tedious procedures.

Cogiscan Inventory Tracking uses real-time information to keep track of the physical location and quantities of all inventories on the SMT lines or the complete production floor. It gives users instant access to:

• Exact location of materials.
• Material remaining quantities.
• Remaining floor time for Moisture-Sensitive Devices and other time-sensitive components.

• Reduction of inventory cost.
• Reduced time to locate and count materials by eliminating expensive manual searches and cycle counting processes.
• Eliminates unnecessary movements of materials, tools and employees.
• Reduces change-over time and increases factory utilization.

All software applications are available with RFID technology (fully-automatic) and bar code technology (semi-automatic).
