SCM and MES/WMS for the Food and Beverage Industry

Nowadays, when it comes to planning solutions and warehouse management and manufacturing execution solutions, many companies work in a bubble. In many instances, various sellers are used, and their tools do not allow for much interaction with relation to these two separate bubbles. Doing so, is not the most effective nor most efficient way of finding and implementing solutions for these situations.

In the essence of the Digital Ecosystem, ORSOFT, working side-by-side with Objective International, brings Supply Chain Management, MES and WMS products products together to offer unique added-values for our clients in the food and beverage industry.

Some of the available points of contact are:

• In addition to optimally planning all material movements, adding an integrated WMS makes sure that required components are at the right place, at the right time and delays are communicated to the planners.
• Resilient Planning: use real-time feedback data to incorporate delays directly into planning and prevent new conflicts even earlier. This is particularly important at times of day when no planner is available.
• Transfer of planned orders to the store floor and thus avoid system breaks by consistently using the same order data. Production employees always see what the next production steps are and thus work together on a globally optimal production plan instead of deciding only locally.
• Integration of real-time tank inventories from the WMS into the ORSOFT tank planning solution to counteract material bottlenecks at an early stage.
• Vendor-Managed Inventory (VMI): Plan and manage your customers’ current and future inventories through an end-to-end solution.
