Cincinnati, OH -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/15/2010 -- QC Software had a customer who was finding it difficult to efficiently handle the spikes in volume due to seasonal fluctuations. Problems included excessive recirculation, slow response times and system shutdowns, an inability to monitor the system, as well as being unable to confirm completion of orders. After QC Navigator was installed, the customer was able to more accurately track orders and monitor production. By finding the source of the jams and various inconsistencies, the company was able to double the number of completed orders. Increased seasonal demands were handled efficiently as performance and accuracy improved.
In the May issue of Warehouse Management News, http://qcsoftware.com/PDFs/Newsletter_May_2010.pdf, QC Software’s Rich Hite, President, noted, “Our QC Navigator application works behind the scenes to optimize order processing and maximize throughput. By coordinating the real-time control devices, it determines the most efficient routing of your product as it moves through the conveyor system. QC Navigator also provides visibility over all floor operations so you can monitor and diagnose operational issues as they occur. As with all our modules, this application is easily configurable to accommodate your specific business rules.”
Another customer also increased productivity using QC Navigator’s features. They replaced the inefficient pick-and-pass method with zone skipping, which eliminated unnecessary handling of cartons. Priority-based routing was added to ensure that orders were processed in the right sequence. They implemented an in-line scale for weight verification to ensure order accuracy and reduce auditing time. The print & apply feature improved their labeling process, and resulted in faster, more precise labeling and better inventory tracking. By optimizing the picking operation, QC Navigator made it possible for our customer to keep up with their rapid growth.
QC Navigator has been shown to be a cost-effective tool that lowers operating costs, improves production and order accuracy, and increases turnaround times.
