Stock control with RAVAS mobile weighing solutions

Monitor your material flows

With global supply chains that stretch across continents, with small stocks and just-in-time deliveries, companies have become very vulnerable to stock shortages. Shortages mean interrupted production processes, delays, loss of customer confidence. And they all come with a cost. With a mobile scale, connected to your ERP or WMS system, material flows can be monitored every time goods are moved. Without interrupting the process, mobile scales allow you to accurately control your stock, reduce stock levels and lower cost.

Astra Sweets realizes immediate cost savings

Astra Sweets did not know the exact weight of production runs coming off their 3 casting lines. Discrepancies in the buffer stock of semi-finished products caused rest materials, delivery delays and additional, corrective production runs. Now 4 electric warehouse trucks have been equipped with an RPW EL scale to transport the sweets form the lines to the warehouse, and accurate production weights are communicated with the ERP system over the company’s wireless network.

More case studies

Lever Fabergé

Once every 3 months, an inventory is made of the perfumes warehouse. Thanks to the weighing forks on the forklift truck, the IBC containers only need to be lifted from the racking to know how much perfume they contain. When weighing a warehouse full of IBC’s, this saves a full day’s work!

Henkel

In the R&D centre in Düsseldorf Henkel develops adhesives and detergents. For the hazardous substances book keeping, anything going in our out of the warehouse is weighed on the forks of the explosion proof forklift truck. That saves a lot of unnecessary handling and costs.

Evonik Colortrend

Evonik Colortrend mixes color pastes for paint manufacturers worldwide. The stock control runs through iForks and WMS, one knows exactly the quantities of raw materials stored in the warehouse.

Danone

After each batch of fruit produced, Danone now weighs every container with the weighing hand pallet trucks that return them to the warehouse. This allows a higher efficiency in production planning and stock control.
