Enterprise Mobility... much more than email & contacts in your mobile phone...

The number of workers that are becoming real "Mobile Workers" is increasing, they use their mobile device to access data that is critical to their work. The mobility of the company is like a extension of the business into the mobile environment. The concept is simple, making critical information available to the employees any time, any where.

eKanban

Need do create a assembly line based on the KanBan system?
Do you have a Manual KanBan system and need to evolve into a integrated one?

If you answered yes, please check out Xpand IT's mobile KanBan solution:

Where it all begins: The Kiosk Solution
An application developed to simplify to the maximum the tag reading process on each part. Each worker of the assembly line only needs to take the bar code through the reader, and that makes the application fill all the needed fields to complete the request, automatically. That way, the workers can focus entirely on assembly tasks, abstracting their selves from the line supply chain. The kiosk also enables, by the work of a button, flag urgent orders so that the priority supplies are brought on time.

The Administration Portal
Enables the users to create, update and delete orders from the supply line and also show alerts about stock events that need priority action. This is fully integrated with the ERP system and also enables order searching based on different criteria, agilizing the access to critical information to the business management.

Mobile Application for Warehouse Workers
Application installed on portable terminals that notifies each worker of the existence of new orders/alerts when the stock reaches the defined minimum limits. Allows the confirmation or cancellation of the part supply.

General Solution Advantages

• Visual Management of pending and out of stock orders
• Aggregation of the knowledge about the parts flow.
• Prioritization of orders using various algorithms
• Supply Time Shortening
• Stock Levels Shortening
• Picking Times Shortening
