Manufacturers know the cost of waste, recalls, rework and downtime and the operational and financial impact that follows. Many of these issues come from disconnected production environments where manual touchpoints slow processes, introduce errors and make consistent control almost impossible.
CodingControl solves this by connecting SAP directly to your production line devices. As an SAP certified IoT platform, it sends the right data to the right machine at exactly the right moment, removing manual intervention and improving accuracy across the line.
All data is generated directly from SAP to ensure accuracy, with template previews available for verification before sending to devices. Labels can be added to orders, with approval required from a quality manager before releasing the order to the production line. New templates can be easily prepared in advance of a planned promotion to enable a quick changeover to a temporary label design for a set period.
All outgoing and incoming production line data is managed from one central platform to provide a single view of your production landscape, whether that is one line in one plant or multiple lines across facilities globally. Labelling and coding templates and data are set up and sent to one, or multiple production devices, while verification confirmations and error messages from devices are also sent back and managed from the same platform.
With data flow controlled by a single source, CodingControl enables rolling changeovers through the ability to switch over one device to a new order, while others continue to operate. This is ideal for situations where the primary coding device is ready to be changed for the next production run, but the pallet labelling is still in operation. Enabling continued production ensures lines can always run at optimum efficiency, with minimal downtime for increased production output.
CodingControl can integrate with one, or multiple, coding, labelling, printing and verification devices, including primary coders, video and camera scanning equipment, secondary case labellers and palletisers. For a fully connected solution, we can also integrate to wider equipment in your facility, such as PLCs, weighing scales and pallet stackers. CodingControl is compatible with all leading hardware including Zebra, Markem image, Videojet and Logopak.
