Market Challenge

With pressure from imports and outsourcing, North American based manufacturers need to increase their productivity without raising their existing head count.

Barcoding and wireless technologies are a proven and cost effective way to dramatically improve productivity. You’re a candidate if your company has:

• Inventory accuracy rates in the 80’s to low 90’s
• Heavily reliant on a few key warehouse personnel to keep track of goods
• Have less than 100% ship rates
• Pay penalties to their customers for label and document non-compliance
• Over purchase or under purchase stock regularly

These deficiencies make it difficult to stay competitive in today’s environment. The need for real-time information in manufacturing environments is driving demand for superior automated inventory-tracking solutions that integrate with existing systems.

The RF Plus™ Solution

RF Plus™ allows for wireless, real-time validation and updates of inventory from receipt of goods at the dock doors through to shipping of finished goods.

The system works in conjunction with Visual by directly accessing the database in real time. So for example as soon as you enter a new purchase order it is available for processing by RF Plus. Likewise as soon as a purchase order is closed by RF Plus a receiver record is created within Visual just as if you entered it directly into Visual yourself. In this manner you don’t have to worry about importing and exporting files and having to synchronize databases. That’s what seamless integration is all about!

Typically payback for RF Plus for VISUAL is within a year. The savings reported by customers can be summarized by the following:

• 10 + % reduction on inventory levels
• 35% reduction of inventory carrying costs
• 20% improvement in material handling productivity
• 50% reduction in costs for physical inventory counts
• 10- 20 % improvement in inventory accuracy
• Elimination of 2-3 employees dedicated to transcription
• Billing cycle reduction by several days

RF Plus™ is an off the shelf, configurable product that can be up and running within a few months. The product comes in three configurations: Basic, Standard, and Advanced. Thus the product can be used in 2 person warehouses all the way up to 200 plus person warehouses.

Developed in .NET and C#, RF Plus™ is compatible with Visual Enterprise™ releases 6.1.3 or higher running on either Oracle or SQL Server databases.

In addition, RF Plus™ works with all brands of mobile computers and standard WiFi networks. With over 15 years of experience QDATA has installed thousands of wireless devices and networks.
