Supply Chain Management

LogicApps AIDC allows you to streamline the management of your entire supply chain with effective use of bar code, RFID and mobile computing technology for automated identification and data collection.

The LogicApps AIDC solution for supply chain management includes four core modules:

Inventory Management

LogicApps Inventory Management enables the use of bar code, RFID, and mobile computing devices to streamline the identification and movement of inventory items around your organization. Inventory processes that are automated by LogicApps AIDC include:

  • Inventory item queries
  • Receipts of inventory items

  • Issuance of items with respect to reservation/order/bill of materials
  • Stock transfers to different locations
  • Updating stock quantities
  • Cycle counting

Purchasing

LogicApps Purchasing automates the entire purchasing and good receipt process. When goods arrive at your location, the entire receipt transaction can be handled from mobile computers right at the loading dock. Using mobile devices, users can identify the received items and match them against purchase orders, and direct where the items should go – to the quality department for inspection, to the warehouse for storage, or immediately to the plant floor for use in production. Bar code labels and goods receipt documentation can also be printed on the spot using bar code printers. Purchasing processes that are automated by LogicApps include:

  • Query purchase order by P.O. number
  • Query purchase order by bar code label
  • Receipt of inventory items against purchase orders
  • Partial receipt of inventory items against purchase orders
  • Receipt of inventory items without purchase order.
  • Inventory transfers to quality department for quality check.
  • Rejections and returns
  • Inventory transfers to warehouse for put away
  • Assignment of goods receipt number
  • Printing of bar code labels and receipt documents

Benefits

Using bar code scanning rather than manual data entry to record transactions improves data accuracy and reduces data entry time.  Accuracy is also improved because you can record transactions on mobile devices at the moment they are being performed, whether you are on the receiving dock, in the warehouse, or on the plant floor.
