Innovative intelligent stock movement/replenishment system

StockSAVER automatically calls up material replenishment requirements and thereby reduces the margin for human error and will significantly cut the amount of line-side safety stock being held.

Few Kanban systems are completely free from errors and weak spots such as:

• Kanban cards not processed promptly.
• Cards mislaid or damaged.
• Just missed the milk-round for collection of cards. 

The solution: Third generation Kanban

Werma’s StockSAVER can resolve these issues and can reduce margins for error in other ways too:
• Stock withdrawals from a rack no longer have to be scanned.
• No more manual arithmetic calculation of stock levels being held line-side.

How does it work?

• Intelligent sensors fitted to the FIFO racking give total transparency of stock levels.
• Replenishment is automatically called up once the sensor detects the bin has been removed. 
• Data wirelessly transmitted to control station view and database giving perfect transparency on stock levels and replenishment orders.

Benefits:

• Easy to retro-fit to existing flow racks
• Reduce level of line-side stock held – no need for excessive safety stocks.
• Reduce number of flow racks required.
• Free up shop floor space for other activities.
• Reduce human errors.
• Elimination of line-side stock-outs.
• Improve cash-flow through reduction in stock.
