Parts Management Material Handling for Manufacturing
Outsourced parts are a typical requirement for most manufacturing facilities. When these parts arrive on site it is very important to be able to quickly receive them and then group the parts by job number for efficient use in the manufacturing process. Exacta software ensures efficient receiving against authorized purchase orders and groups the parts by job number. Several material handling technologies can be used based on the parts cube dimensions and the velocity of the part movement. Often standard shelving and bulk floor locations are used for staging parts with hand-held RF terminals for tracking. Improper parts management can lead to a waste of fabrication or assembly labor while searching for the appropriate parts.
