    For many years now, the logistics and warehousing industry has been reaping the full benefits of process improvements resulting from automatic identification<\/strong> solutions based on the technology of barcodes<\/strong><\/a>barcodes, 2D codes<\/strong> and RFID<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>

    However, not everyone is aware of the enormous potential of using these technologies in manufacturing sectors – especially in the area of production logistics<\/strong>.
    In this article, we outline how to build complete circular ecosystems<\/strong> to support the digitization of production preparation, supervision and reporting<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    For warehouse processes, the operational kernel is the WMS system<\/strong><\/a>, while in the area of production the key role is played by MES (Manufacturing Execution System)class systems<\/a><\/strong>. They are responsible for planning, preparation, execution and reporting of production<\/strong>. <\/p>

    In HKK Group’s solutions, such as DigitIO Factory<\/strong><\/a>, the MES system combines a planning and scheduling layer with ongoing process supervision.<\/p>

    By integrating with sensors, readers and controllers, MES monitors both machine operation<\/strong> and operator activities<\/strong>. What’s more, MES and WMS systems work together at key points in the production chain – including the delivery of components to the production line<\/strong>, the logistics of finished products<\/strong> or the return of unused materials<\/strong> to the warehouse. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    How to control production in progress without interrupting the process? One of the most effective ways is to use automatic identification systems<\/strong><\/a> based on barcodes<\/strong>, 2D codes<\/strong><\/a> or RFID technology<\/strong>.
    With a network of code readers<\/strong>, it is possible to precisely track production – detecting downtime, deviations from standards or errors. <\/p>

    Advanced vision systems<\/a> offered by HKK Group, such as the brands Zebra<\/strong><\/a> and Datalogic<\/strong>, enable not only code reading, but also image analysis<\/strong> – defect detection, handwriting reading(OCR<\/strong>) or real-time component quality control.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    Automatic identification technologies improve not only the supervision of production, but also post-production processes, from automatic palletization<\/strong> to labeling of pallets<\/strong><\/a> and receiving finished goods<\/strong>.<\/p>

    The use of integrated systems allows you to control the construction of pal<\/strong>lets, automatically read the codes of<\/strong> all packages on the pallet and generate pallet labels<\/strong><\/a> before transferring them to the finished goods warehouse or shipping them to the customer.<\/p>

    Such solutions increase accuracy, eliminate manual errors and speed up the preparation of goods for further transportation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    Manufacturing requires constant support of operators at the interface between the warehouse and the production area<\/strong>. Delivering components, receiving finished products and returning unused materials are processes that often involve pallets<\/strong> and forklifts<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

    However, they are increasingly being replaced by AMR<\/a> (Autonomous Mobile Robots)<\/strong>, which autonomously transport pallets between defined points, without the need for operator intervention. They operate on the basis of SLAM<\/strong> (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) technology, which allows them to map a space and move safely through it, without having to adapt infrastructure. <\/p>\n

    AMR robots provide a high level of work safety<\/strong>, reduce operating costs<\/strong> and, importantly, pay for themselves in as little as a dozen months after implementation<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
