Automate Processes in Paper Manufacturing
Accuracy is critical when manufacturing paper and packaging goods. However, manual processes open many opportunities for human error. A single mistake, whether it's a missed digit in a SKU or misplaced pallet, can lead to production delays or shipping incorrect products.
Manufacturers can gain accuracy and visibility by automating procedures on the production floor. By implementing supply chain solutions that leverage mobile devices and barcode scanning, manufacturers can digitize tasks like issuing and completing Work Orders, Work Order Reporting, and back-flushing. Real-time updates ensure everyone is working from the same validated data, therefore increasing workplace communication and boosting efficiency.
