Real-time visibility and tracking

OCR CHAIN Warehouse Management provides end-to-end inventory tracking and visibility. All material is identified with a unique License Plate (LP) which allows the system to track material with a high level of precision. All events are logged in order to have detailed historical information and complete real-time visibility of the warehouse activities. Based on this data, dynamic real-time management dashboards tracking Key Performance Indicators (KPI) are used to ensure proactive control.

Real-time execution

Warehousing operations are complex and require a high level of coordination. OCR CHAIN optimizes execution with user-configurable business rules, logic and algorithms. The work load is dispatched via the RF network and available in real-time on the floor. Workers have real-time access to accurate and complete information.
