Problem Statement
The client faced several challenges that hampered their material utilization efficiency:
- Theft of Copper: Workers could easily manipulate inventory entries due to manual tracking systems, leading to significant losses in copper.
- Time-Consuming Manual Entry: Documenting material measurements and capturing before-and-after photos of motors was a slow and labor-intensive process.
- Disparate Data Management: Data was scattered across multiple platforms, including Excel sheets and physical folders, leading to frequent errors and inefficiencies.
- Data Privacy Concerns: Protecting sensitive information became increasingly difficult, raising the risk of data breaches.
- Lack of Accountability: Without a centralized system, it was challenging to hold employees accountable for material usage and inventory discrepancies.
The Need for Improved Material Utilization
Material utilization was the central focus for optimizing the client's operations. Poor material management not only led to significant losses but also slowed down their entire workflow, impacting overall business efficiency. To address these issues, they needed a solution that would:
- Automate manual processes.
- Enhance data accuracy.
- Improve inventory tracking and security.
Tailored Solution for Enhanced Material Utilization
Webanix Solutions stepped in to provide a comprehensive, customized solution that directly addressed these challenges:
- Real-Time Inventory Tracking: Implementing a centralized software platform allowed for real-time tracking of inventory, minimizing the risk of theft by accurately logging all material movements.
- Automated Data Entry: The new system automated the entry of material measurements and facilitated the easy upload of motor images into a central database.
- Centralized Data Management: Consolidating all data into a single platform reduced errors and streamlined access to accurate information.
- Enhanced Security and Privacy: With geo-location tracking, data access was restricted to specific areas within the workshop, and only authorized personnel could view sensitive information.
