Work in Progress (WIP) Tracking

In dynamic production environments, early detection of issues is critical to maintaining efficiency and quality. Pozyx’s real-time tracking system helps identify problems before they impact workflows.

Pozyx’s tracking technology allows manufacturers to define custom rules for issue detection, ensuring immediate identification of potential problems. The system can trigger real-time warnings for scenarios such as:

• Buffers overflowing or running empty
  
• Orders deviating from predefined workflows
• Materials or equipment remaining idle for too long

These proactive alerts help minimize production delays and improve workflow efficiency. Organized dashboards deliver instant insights, enabling teams to quickly resolve issues and make data-driven decisions. By addressing problems as they arise, companies maintain productivity, ensure quality standards, and keep material flow smooth and uninterrupted.

Precise labor tracking is essential for understanding production costs and identifying inefficiencies. Pozyx’s real-time tracking system provides accurate insights into labor allocation across the shop floor.

In production environments with high variability and manual labor, tracking labor time for each step can be challenging. Pozyx’s system measures the actual bill of labor by tracking operators and orders in real time. This granular visibility helps manufacturers:

• Accurately calculate labor costs for each production step
  
• Identify inefficiencies and bottlenecks in workflows
• Optimize labor allocation to reduce waste

With detailed labor data, companies can assess profitability at the product or order level, improve cost management, and enhance resource allocation. These insights support informed decision-making, ensuring more efficient operations and improved overall production profitability.

Maximizing efficiency in make-to-order (MTO) and quick response manufacturing (QRM) environments requires managing variability and optimizing resources. Pozyx’s RTLS delivers the insights needed to streamline every aspect of production.

Pozyx’s real-time location system (RTLS) captures efficiency data to support lean transformation and continuous improvement, even in advanced QRM setups. By enhancing key metrics such as takt time, operator efficiency (OOE), and overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), Pozyx helps companies:

• Minimize operational variability
  
• Streamline workflows and eliminate bottlenecks
• Optimize resource allocation and reduce waste

By addressing the eight wastes in lean manufacturing, Pozyx drives faster response times, lowers production costs, and improves adaptability to customer demands. This results in a more efficient, flexible, and cost-effective production process.

Maintaining a safe and compliant work environment is critical in manufacturing. Pozyx’s real-time tracking system ensures operators follow safety protocols and regulatory standards.

Pozyx’s tracking system monitors operator movements and ensures adherence to safety guidelines and regulatory standards. Supervisors can track proper equipment use, maintain safe distances, and receive real-time alerts if an operator:

• Enters a hazardous area without authorization
  
• Uses equipment without the required training
• Violates predefined safety protocols

By proactively identifying and addressing safety concerns, Pozyx helps reduce the risk of workplace incidents and fosters a culture of safety. This enhanced safety monitoring supports regulatory compliance, minimizes potential hazards, and reduces liabilities, ensuring a safer and more secure work environment.

Staying ahead of potential issues is key to maintaining seamless production. Pozyx’s automated alerts and notifications keep your workflows on track with real-time updates.

Pozyx’s system allows manufacturers to set up automated alerts and notifications for critical conditions, such as low inventory levels, idle equipment, or workflow deviations. These real-time alerts help teams:

• Quickly respond to production issues
  
• Prevent bottlenecks and delays
• Ensure smoother workflow continuity

By minimizing the need for manual monitoring, Pozyx enables teams to focus on strategic tasks and proactive decision-making. This automated notification system improves responsiveness, reduces downtime, and supports a more efficientand resilient production process.
