Pozyx, the only WIP tracking tool you need
Managing and reducing WIP levels is critical for manufacturing companies. The Pozyx RTLS system keeps track of all assets in the manufacturing hall, from raw material to finished product. It offers transparency on job orders during the production process which allows for efficiency measurement and improvement.
The best way to reduce WIP
Reducing work in progress is vital in lean manufacturing and accelerates the production process. The best way to optimize WIP is by having a clear overview of the unfinished goods that are being produced. It enables the identification of bottlenecks and the full transparency allows for better coordination in the entire production process.
Pozyx brings a clear overview and transparency over the supply chain by tracking the products inside it. Dashboards make it clear where bottlenecks are and send notifications when WIP exceeds its limits, this makes it possible to act quickly and keep lead time to a minimum.
Full transparency & improved efficiency
Pozyx visualizes the entire production process and detects anomalies before they ever become a problem.
- Identify bottlenecks
- Avoid WIP buffers overflowing
- Get warnings when workstations are empty
- Monitor idle time between processing steps
- Pinpoint outlier cycle times or takt times
Track orders & material flows
Use Pozyx to track orders throughout the production process and reduce labor costs wasted on scanning and searching orders.
- Eliminate manual scanning
- Easily locate (priority) orders
- Manage buffers more efficiently
- Reduce the number of load carriers
- Increase material turnover
- Provide real-time order status to customers
Enhanced quality & validation checks
Pozyx automates and foolproofs the quality validation process by visualizing the entire manufacturing process and enabling quick detection of errors. The system can even send automatic notifications when certain events happen. In short, Pozyx allows you to:
- Verify correct order location in workstations
- Detect products in wrong shipping buffers
- Spot LIFO or FIFO buffer order violations
- Scrutinize orders or parts passing storage time limits
- Trace orders that skip a process step
- Track orders going through the wrong sequence
- Avoid products with defects from re-entering the production cycle
- And more...
Quick response manufacturing
Especially in make to order environments (MTO) and quick response manufacturing (QRM), real-time efficiency data can optimize cost calculations and eliminate variability in operations.
Pozyx was made to support lean transformation and continuous improvement and is also useful in more mature QRM environments. The RTLS system enhances takt time, increases operator efficiency (OOE), overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), measures and increases overall efficiency.
Pozyx addresses and tackles all 8 wastes in lean manufacturing.
