Manufacturing floors operate with constant movement. Forklifts transport pallets. Pallet jacks move raw materials. Conveyor systems deliver components to assembly lines. Every piece of material handling equipment plays a vital role in production efficiency. Yet most manufacturers lack visibility into how this equipment performs. Where are specific assets right now? Which equipment sits unused? How many trips does each piece…

Modern manufactured products have grown exponentially more complex. Today’s automobiles contain over 30,000 individual parts, commercial aircraft integrate more than 600,000 components, and medical implants demand traceability for every element. This complexity creates a universal parts tracking challenge for manufacturing organizations: how do manufacturers accurately track thousands of parts moving through global supply chains, assembly operations, and decades-long service lifecycles?…

Production Managers face immense pressure to keep manufacturing floors running smoothly. Production management – coordinating machinery, tools, materials, and personnel to meet tight production schedules – demands flawless asset management. Yet traditional methods such as manual logs, barcode scanning, and spreadsheets often fall short. These approaches are slow, error-prone, and lack real-time visibility. The result is lost time searching for…

A manufacturing traveler is a document that accompanies a product throughout its manufacturing process. It contains all the details about the materials and processes that went into the production of the given product. Once a manufacturer receives an order, they create a detailed work order outlining the production steps. But to ensure smooth manufacturing, they also create a “traveler” document…
