System for tracking the movement of raw materials and finished products

What Is Implemented:

Each factory has developed and implemented an application to track the passage of raw materials, semi-finished and finished products through all stages of the technological process. The applications work independently and are integrated with the accounting system
A mobile user interface for barcode scanners has been developed so that plant personnel can use the system directly at their workplaces
Developed a customizable application focused on constant change. Developed protocols for software interaction between different levels
The standardization of PLCs is proposed
Implemented an analytics-accessible data storage solution

Client:

Client: an international company producing food and pet food. On the territory of the Russian Federation has 7 factories.

Problematics and Inquiry:

The need for automated accounting and control of various types of raw materials and semi-finished products
The need to optimize costs and production costs
The need to ration raw materials and stabilize the quality of finished products
When implementing the task, there were certain difficulties associated with the fact that different equipment was used. There was no single standard for the equipment and it was impossible to reprogram it. That is, an individual solution was developed for each factory
It was necessary to ensure smooth operation of the software and good integration, because system failures in one of the areas could lead to a shutdown of the factory

Tools:

Economic effects:

10% reduction in operating costs
Reduced product quality claims
Ability to adapt equipment settings to changes in legislation
Reducing oversorting due to mislabeling
Optimization of warehousing and production areas through more correct planning of raw material procurement volumes. Expansion of the production area
