WIP Tracking

Work-in-Process (WIP) and PCBs are very difficult to track as they move from process-to-process, station-to-station, SMT line to manual assembly. Many electronic manufacturers lose track of the constantly moving WIP and PCB s, especially when employees have to use manual methods of tracking.

Cogiscan’s WIP Tracking Software uses real-time information to track the physical location and quantities of all the WIP and PCBs in the assembly process. It gives users instant access to:

• Exact location of products. (PCB)
• Count of products in WIP.
• Proof that products have completed all required steps.

• Reduced time to locate and count products (PCB) eliminating cycle counting processes.
• Eliminates unnecessary movements of employees.
• Reduces change-over time and increases factory utilization.
• Increases on-time delivery.

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