By implementing ScanPlant NG Packing, you can streamline your packaging process, enhance traceability, and ensure that all customer-specific requirements are met with precision and efficiency.

For many food producers, inventory management remains an area with room for improvement. Warehouses often contain a mix of fresh and frozen products, representing significant capital investments, which can lead to substantial losses if not properly managed. ScanPlant NG Inventory Control provides functionality to manage inventory down to the level of individual retail packages and up to the pallet level. ScanPlant NG Inventory Control allows for live-time management of products, assigning specific products to specific orders, “on-the-fly” stock-taking, manual or intelligent inventory allocation, and picking operations. The module supports all common types of inventory, including raw materials, work-in-progress, finished goods, and buffer stocks.

• “On-the-Fly” Stock Take functionality enables more frequent stock counts, leading to more accurate inventory management.
• Real-time inventory management and monitoring with handheld devices, wall-mounted terminals, or PC screens.
• An alert system allows you to “push” information about products nearing expiration, preventing write-offs and losses due to product expiration.
• Intelligent inventory allocation and order picking ensure better and improved stock rotation, minimizing inventory losses (due to aging).

KEY FEATURES

• Packages, boxes, and pallets can be automatically or manually assigned to inventory.
• Inventory locations within storage units for racking systems (manual or automatic allocation).
