Challenges
- Ice creams being consumers product regularly demands variety in the form of flavours & sizes.
- Being perishable,food product quality assurance and batch trace ability was a must
- To compete in a constantly growing market with optimum productivity and minimum cost
- Reduction in dispatch errors with constant change in schemes and sizes
Working Of Solution
- Through the solution provided, cold storage inward of the stock is done automatically where production count given by the barcode system is considered as an input for production confirmation in SAP followed by pulling over Sales Order Data. It follows wave picking for pulling materials from cold storage. Once the material is picked, sorting and allocation to the conveyor line are done through a barcode system. At dispatch dock, each item is automatically scanned through Fixed Mount Scanners and sensors integrated with Conveyor Line PLC, where system verifies the intended material is loaded in the truck. In case of any discrepancy,the system stops the conveyor line. It allows multiple sales orders in a single truck following LIFO method.
