Challenges in production

  • Lack of transparency regarding material availability, storage locations, and work-in-progress (WIP) inventories
  • Manual effort for postings, corrections, and stock transfers
  • Limited overview of current material status
  • Bottlenecks due to sluggish material flow
  • Time-consuming coordination between production, logistics, and planning teams

Your added value with Inventory4SF

  • Monitor material stocks in real time

    Real-time transparency: Bottlenecks, excess inventory, or disruptions are identified early on and can be prevented.

  • Reduce waiting times and downtime

    Machine downtime is avoided and interruptions to production are significantly reduced

  • Delivery speed
    Improve delivery capability

    Materials are provided as needed, inventory levels are reduced, and delivery capability is improved—whether “just in time” or “just in sequence.”

  • Empower employees

    Visualized inventories make it easier for teams to prioritize necessary measures such as requesting replenishment. Wrong decisions are reduced and efficiency increases

Advantages of Inventory4SF compared to conventional solutions

Inventory4SF offers a flexible solution that is integrated directly into the shop floor for real-time visualization and control of material inventories, while conventional solutions are often centralized, less flexible, and heavily reliant on ERP/track & trace systems.

Advantages of Inventory4SF compared to conventional solutions

Criterion

Inventory4SF

Conventional solutions

User-friendliness

Intuitive user interfaces for
production, shift supervisors, and logistics

Often complex, IT-heavy interfaces, focus on logistics or ERP users

Integration into IT systems

Native integration into MES FLEX and
interfaces to third parties, flexible as
microservices

Strongly ERP- or MES-centered, often rigid interfaces, limited flexibility

Scalability

Modular microservice approach, flexibly expandable to additional warehouses, locations, or functions

Monolithic systems with higher scaling costs

Future

Open to integration of new technologies (e.g., AGVs, IoT), flexible configuration and expandability

Dependent on ERP updates, often less open to new technologies

Function

Increased efficiency, fewer missing parts, improved transparency, and faster decision-making

Basic inventory management, often without proactive
process optimization
