The Complexities of the Industrial Manufacturing Sector
The industrial manufacturing industry is known for its complex multi-channel operations that include a diverse range of high-value products. From raw materials like metal and wood, to large-scale industrial equipment, an efficient inventory management system that offers real-time visibility, enhances accuracy, and guaranteed traceability is critical for the day-to-day operations of companies in this sector.
RF-SMART + Oracle Cloud for Industrial Manufacturers: Moving Beyond Traditional Methods
Many businesses across various sectors heavily depend on the industrial manufacturing industry to fulfill their operational requirements. Without essential products like pipes and fittings, those in the plumbing industry cannot continue with their daily operations. This reliance is critical for maintaining smooth operations and productivity across the economy, making it crucial for companies in the industrial manufacturing industry to maintain operational efficiency.
Yet, many companies in this sector still turn to traditional processes, especially for inventory management. Manual processes such as physical inventory counts, cross-checking, and paper-driven inventory data collection are time consuming and error prone.
To remain competitive and reliable it is essential for industrial manufacturers to implement a mobile inventory management system that:
- Automates labor-intensive and slow processes
- Eliminates human errors and inaccuracies
- Integrates directly with Oracle Cloud
- Significantly improves operational efficiency
