With a focus on quality, reliability, and adherence to regulatory standards, the client sought to enhance their material tracking capabilities to meet the stringent requirements of their key customers.
Solutions Highlights
“Manage inventory tracking, traceability, and backtracking from fabric to finished product using our advanced barcode solutions.”
To address the client’s challenges and elevate their material tracking capabilities, we proposed the implementation of a robust barcode system customized to the unique requirements of tent and tarpaulin production. The solution comprised the following components
Barcode Generation and Labeling
Upon receipt of fabric and materials from suppliers, each item was assigned a unique barcode identifier. Barcode labels containing essential information such as material specifications, supplier details, and batch numbers were affixed to the respective items.
Barcode Scanning Devices
Handheld barcode scanners equipped with ruggedized capabilities were deployed throughout the production facility. Staff members utilized these scanners to scan barcode labels during material issuance and production processes, ensuring real-time data capture and accuracy.
Integration with Reporting System
The barcode system was seamlessly integrated with the customize reporting system and dashboard, enabling automatic synchronization of material transactions and inventory updates. This integration facilitated comprehensive data management and reporting capabilities, enhancing decision-making and compliance monitoring.
Compliance and Traceability Features
In alignment with the client's commitment to transparency and traceability, the barcode system incorporated advanced features to track material origins, certifications, and compliance with military and UN standards. This included capturing data on ethical sourcing practices, conflict-free materials, and adherence to relevant regulations.
