Material order automation

 

Problem

Logistic operators navigate around the facility, searching for materials to deliver or empty packaging to remove from the line, often doing so randomly or following predefined cycles. This practice frequently leads to idle periods in production throughout the day due to material shortages, resulting in cumulative downtime. Additionally, there is a prevalent issue of uneven driver utilization, with some operators overloaded while others engage in non-productive activities such as browsing social media.

Solution

Employing Android devices equipped with our companion app, dedicated ordering buttons, or direct line connectivity, twinzo can autonomously coordinate work orders among manufacturing stations, material pickers, and forklift drivers. When configured as a comprehensive solution, it establishes a shared pool of available drivers, ensuring a more equitable distribution of tasks. This approach eliminates idle times and promotes a balanced utilization of the fleet across the entire operation.
