Digitization, Acquisition and Administration of Warehouse and Production Data

Overview:

Digitization, acquisition and administration of warehouse and production data: iScan provides a direct connection to a superordinate merchandise management system. Master data and process orders are imported from the ERP system and changes, e. g. goods movements and consumptions are reported back in real time.

iScan Scanner Solutions by range of application:

Central Administration and Acquisition of Warehouse Data

iScan WMS - Warehouse Management System - is a central system for the acquisition and administration of warehouse data with barcode scanners, which is characterized by its easy handling, high transparency of goods movements, batch traceability and direct ERP connection.

iScan WMS provides a direct connection to a higher-level merchandise management system.
This allows master data to be imported from the ERP system and, changes like
goods movements, to be reported back to the connected system in real time.

Central Acquisition and Administration of Production Data

iScan PDM – Production Data Management – is a central system applied for the acquisition and management of production data with barcode scanners, for the calculation of recipes and management/analysis of material consumption.

The solution is characterised by its simple operation, high transparency, batch traceability and direct ERP connection

iScan PDM supports production from the use of goods to the filling, packaging and dispatch of the end product. Consumption, rejects and all other production-relevant data such as recipe calculations or material usage are systematically recorded and documented. This provides a high level of transparency of production processes and the allocation of material consumption to your orders.

iScan PDM provides a direct connection to a higher-level ERP system. Master data, process instructions and orders are imported from the ERP system and, changes such as consumptions and rejects are reported to the higher-level system in real time. The direct assignment of consumptions and rejects to the related process orders facilitates the systematic analysis and optimization of production processes and a reduction of error sources.

iScan PDM provides transparency for production. The traceability of the production process answers the question of when and which of your products was produced under which conditions.

Traceability reduces downtimes and quality losses as well as production costs and ensures a transparent production process.
