Real-time Labeling, Tracking, Shipping, Traceability

SPEDE Finished Goods is a WiFi-based inventory control software module that enables a manufacturing facility to track and manage inventory in real-time, at a serialized unit level.

Inventory Visibility at Begins at Line-side

Real-time inventory visibility begins with Line-side Labeling, as containers of Finished Product are labeled on-demand as the parts leave production and are packed into containers. The serialized container labels are then scanned to automatically record Finished Goods production receipts, and to create serialized Pallet Labels during the pallet-building process.

SPEDE Finished Goods uses barcode scanning and/or RFID throughout Warehousing, Picking and Trailler Loading to ensure inventory is accurately tracked, picked, staged and shipped, and to increase efficiency.

Scanned inventory transactions are stored in the SPEDE Event database - giving plant personnel real-time, 24/7 visibility of inventory, customer orders, and Backward / Forward Traceability of Finished Goods.

Built on a 802.11 platform, SPEDE Finished Goods is a PC-server based software solution. It transacts with host ERP, Release Accounting and EDI systems for real-time data exchange at labeling, picking and shipping.

SPEDE software runs independently of the host to ensure 24/7 uptime - especially during mission critical events such as Labeling, Picking and Shipping.

Automated Lot / Serial Traceability

Detailed Lot Tracking Reports - easily accessible 24/7

SPEDE automatically creates an electronic history of Finished Goods inventory traceability as a by-product of scanning transactions from Production Receipts through Shipping.

These scanned transactions or Critical Tracking Events are stored in the real-time SPEDE Event Database. Using standard data mining tools, you can readily access and analyze this data 24/7 for productivity, performance and QC purposes.

Should a major quality problem occur, these Event records will provide the "Who, What, When, Where, Why and Which" details you will need to:

• Pinpoint the start of the QC issue
• Identify the specific units affected - by Lot / Serial range, Work Order, Machine, Run Date, Shift, etc.
• Put an electronic QC Hold on all affected units in your facility, and Enterprise-wide
• Trace affected units Forward to all ship-to locations for limited Recall
• Trace affected units Backward to Raw Material components and Suppliers
