The manufacturing business environment is characterized by complex production and assembly processes, constantly moving parts and demand fluctuations. While manufacturers have spent billions of dollars to automate the supply chain, putting in place systems for warehouse management (WMS), production floor management or work in process (WIP) applications, there is still a gap - the "last mile" to physical world objects that has not been connected and automated. As a result, managers are missing crucial, real-time information.

At any given time, product is staged at various levels of readiness from basic stock parts, through different stages in the manufacturing process and into the finished goods stock. The current market solutions have no visibility into the exact location of each significant item in the system and as a result have only an approximation of the overall status.

Manufacturers must ensure that customers are not waiting for products and therefore, that assembly processes are not standing idle waiting for parts. With no complete and up to date status information, enterprises resort to over stocking as a buffer mechanism. This approach is inefficient and costly. Using manual labor to improve information feed into existing ERP systems is also costly and embeds human error.

The Precyse solution attaches a Smart Agent device to all of your key assets, making inanimate assets intelligent. This allows the system to pinpoint the exact location, status and history of activity of critical or high value assets across supply chain processes. The Precyse solution provides you with complete visibility into your supply chain, enabling proactive management, adding agility and reducing costs.

Key Manufacturer’s Benefits:

• Improve the production process efficiency
• Reduce your standing inventory to precisely what you need
• Automate your data acquisition
• Improve effectiveness
• Remove the human error factor
• Identify bottlenecks and prevent process deficiencies instead of dealing with their consequences.
