Manufacturing companies must improve performance and reduce costs

Manufacturing is under under pressure like never before. Zygology Systems plays a vital role in helping manufacturing companies to become more efficient and profitable. By implementing bar code labelling and scanning systems we have helped them to improve product quality, on-time performance, traceability and many other key business factors.

Customers demand shorter lead times, better quality and lower prices. Manufacturers must drive out cost and control profitability. These pressures force manufacturers into continuous improvement initiatives to gain competitive advantage.

Many manufacturers have work that must go through several steps to completion. Barcode systems can track material through each step of the manufacturing process and keep detailed records on each item or batch. When a problem occurs, supervisors and managers can track the work back and quickly resolve the issue. This is one of the most simple ways of improving both quality and yield in virtually any multi-step process.

Tracking stock can be a costly process. With bar codes applied to each component, scanners can be used to take accurate physical inventory. Data from portable data collection terminals can be uploaded to a central computer system at regular intervals or portables can update inventory in real-time using RF technology. Barcode stock control provides accurate, real-time inventory updates allowing a company to reduce stock levels. With the resultant efficiency improvements manufacturing costs can be dramatically reduced.

Barcode systems in quality control can tell an operator which test to perform for a given part and where to send it if it fails. They can create detailed records for tracking component or sub-assembly rejects. By using barcode labelling technologies from Zygology Systems, our manufacturing customers can keep accurate track of inventory levels in real-time, pinpoint the location of every item in their warehouse and run their production lines with remarkable efficiency.
