Up until recently, the manufacturing landscape was characterized by a lack of real-time information and communication hurdles that often left manufacturers grappling with operational inefficiencies. Issues took longer to resolve, paper-based record-keeping was the norm, and supervisors had limited visibility into ongoing production processes. Decision-making was often based on outdated information, and manufacturing floors lacked a level of dynamic responsiveness that is achievable today using the latest in cutting-edge technology.
In our ongoing series on Trak-Suite, the comprehensive suite of applications and services designed to streamline and optimize the usage of Infor SyteLine ERP, we introduce Beacon-Trak, a groundbreaking addition that connects manufacturing supervisors and workers with real-time information, enhancing their decision-making capabilities and overall operational efficiency.
Beacon-Trak is an integral part of Shop-Trak, as previously discussed in our series. In this article, we will delve into how Beacon-Trak utilizes small Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons to provide real-time, role-based information to stakeholders at various points of production. This technology is revolutionizing how manufacturing facilities operate and improve overall productivity.
