How to Eradicate Wasted Movement in Your Industrial unit with Last Mile Management


Production is complicated, and there are a variety of ways that things can turn wrong. A specific part can go through many hands and be repositioned across many work areas before it develops a completed product. Parts and incomplete goods can be damaged, misdirected, and failed during this process. However, today’s factories are more demanding than ever before. The fourth industrial revolution mandates that parts be sited quickly, shipped automatically, and transported on time; all while being instantly traced in the cloud. Decreasing wasted movements and reducing human interaction are key factors of today’s smart factories.

Because of today’s smart solutions, supply chain and material management processes can become faster than ever, meeting, and surpassing opportunities. With the correct way out, your factory’s B- and C-parts can be managed in a way that gets your goods to end users efficiently and transparently.

SmartBins and SmartLabels

Properly identifying, managing, and replacing parts is vital to material flow. LPS Bossard’s SmartBin and SmartLabel technology not only traces parts all through the supply chain, but also automatically triggers demand requirements to keep employees in place. Quantities are sent and received as necessary while movements and inaccuracies are reduced.

All data is kept within a cloud-based system that transmits instantly to mobile devices like tablets and smartphones. All stakeholders can instantly access info, reconfigure workstations, and work together to overcome barriers. Taking this notion one step further, crucial stock can be replenished and then effortlessly moved by robotics across the store floor.

Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR)

LPS Bossard’s Last Mile Management software fully links SmartLabels and SmartBins with autonomous mobile robots (AMR) to bridge the gap between big-data and automation. Each time a part moves, the opportunity for error rises. Permitting robotics to move parts from one area of the store floor to another delivers the following benefits:

a)       The most efficient route will be taken.

b)      Workers remain fully engaged in manufacturing.

c)       Obstacles will be avoided.

AMR can move all the way through the manufacturing space 24/7. They avoid obstructions, open doors, and gates, and can even ride elevators. They do so at the most cost-effective rate on the most efficient route. They are extraordinarily useful in ever-changing spaces where conveyor belts are not as efficient and can be controlled remotely. Adjustments are made on demand with a steady flow of supplies.

Remote Dashboards

Before the on-set of Industry 4.0/Digitalization, inventory levels and the supply chain lived in an abyss. Executives lacked visibility to make instant business assessments and it was hard to alleviate risks and improve lead times. This paucity of transparency created silos of knowledge and forced executive decision-making to be spontaneous, instead of positive. It was tough to anticipate circumstances, solve disputes, and include all stakeholders in the procedure. Executives depend on cumbersome reporting generated by workers, which were often crawls on production.

With developing smart factory know-hows and big data being moved to the cloud, managers and customers can augment material flow from remote locations. Working from a single view of the supply chain reduces inefficient processes and reduces the number of people in work areas. Less human dealings mean fewer opportunities for errors, fewer barriers lineside, and fewer workplace movements. The long-term time-saving component of bringing decision-makers closer to production is exponential.
