About the service
Paperless manufacturing & logistics
We digitalize the flow of information in manufacturing and logistics, reducing printouts and manual records. We rely on PDF documents, code scanning and kanban signals for smoother operational work.
Benefits
Service benefits
Fewer printouts thanks to PDF documents
Faster replenishment signals through kanban
More accurate operations thanks to RF validation
Consistent printing and reprint rules
Digital shop floor workflow
PDF documents, code scanning, kanban signals and RF validations.
Paperless manufacturing
Organizing the scope of "shop floor papers" and deciding what should be available digitally.
- Moving key information from paper into system-based work.
- Handling shop floor documents as PDF files wherever operationally justified.
- Standardizing the rules for printing and reprinting shop floor documents.
- Organizing the areas: production orders, pick lists, document lists, time tickets, kanban tickets, PRT reviews.
Documents and PDF
Determining which shop floor documents should be printed and which available as PDF.
- Storing shop floor documents as PDF files using Adobe Document Services.
- Establishing printing rules following order release.
- Organizing the reprint process.
- Matching the scope of information on documents to the needs of execution teams.
Kanban and scanning
Implementing the kanban signal through a status change from FULL to EMPTY.
- Handling the status change by scanning a barcode on the container card.
- Alternatively: changing status in the kanban table (container view in the production area).
- Establishing the two-code practice (EMPTY and FULL) and the scanning method for operational work.
- Using kanban statuses to reflect operations (e.g., material movements) as status changes.
RF logistics and codes
Designing field verification in RF (e.g., bin and quantity) based on code scanning.
- Scan validation: error, field clearing and retry, to reduce mistakes.
- Decoding common GS1 cases (e.g., SSCC) in RF where an application identifier is present.
- Configuring the validation profile for RF transactions.
- Selecting the verification level to balance quality and operation time.
Paperless journey
We organize the areas where paper replaces access to information. We then select digital mechanisms: PDF for shop floor documents, scan-based kanban signals and RF validations in logistics, to raise the quality and consistency of operations.
Inventory
Inventory of documents and points where printouts are generated on the shop floor.
Target model
Establishing the target model: what remains printed and what moves to PDF.
PDF configuration
Configuring PDF document handling and reprint rules.
Kanban
Organizing kanban: statuses, the way they change and working rules.
RF validations
Design and configuration of RF validation for key steps.
Fine-tuning
Establishing the validation level and scanning ergonomics to maintain operational pace.
