Shop Floor to Warehouse Automation with Infor Factory Track

In manufacturing, seamless coordination between the shop floor and warehouse is essential for operational success. However, challenges like manual errors, delayed updates, and inefficiencies can disrupt this flow, impacting productivity and customer satisfaction. That’s where Infor Factory Track comes in—a robust automation solution that connects shop floor operations with warehouse management to create an integrated, efficient workflow.

With features designed to streamline processes and enhance visibility, Infor Factory Track empowers manufacturers to achieve precision, control, and agility at every stage of their operations.

Automating Shop Floor Operations

The shop floor drives the core of manufacturing operations, but manual processes and disconnected systems can hinder productivity. Infor Factory Track transforms shop floor management through automation, ensuring efficient production workflows and accurate job execution.

• Accurate Job Tracking: Every production step, from order creation to finished goods, is tracked in real time. This visibility reduces errors and ensures that production stays on schedule.
• Optimized Machine Utilization: With real-time performance data, manufacturers can identify underperforming equipment, schedule maintenance, and avoid unplanned downtime. This leads to maximized machine output and reduced operational costs.
• Paperless Operations: Say goodbye to manual record-keeping. Infor Factory Track digitizes work instructions, checklists, and production reports, ensuring faster access to information and reducing the risk of errors caused by misplaced or outdated paperwork.

By streamlining these operations, manufacturers can boost efficiency and maintain consistent quality, even in high-demand scenarios.

Managing warehouse operations can be overwhelming, especially when juggling inventory accuracy, order fulfillment, and shipping deadlines. Infor Factory Track simplifies these complexities by automating key warehouse processes.

• Precise Inventory Tracking: Whether tracking raw materials or finished goods, barcode and RFID scanning ensures that inventory data is always accurate and up-to-date. This prevents costly errors like stock discrepancies or lost items.
• Streamlined Material Transfers: Moving materials between the warehouse and shop floor can be a time-consuming task. Infor Factory Track automates this process, ensuring that the right materials are delivered to the right location exactly when needed.
• Efficient Shipping and Receiving: From receiving raw materials to dispatching final products, automated workflows help speed up the process while maintaining accuracy. Real-time updates allow teams to track shipments and reduce delays.

These enhancements reduce waste, prevent inventory shortages or excess, and keep operations running smoothly, ultimately leading to faster order fulfillment and happier customers.

Connecting the Dots: Shop Floor to Warehouse Integration

What sets Infor Factory Track apart is its ability to seamlessly connect shop floor and warehouse operations, creating a unified workflow that bridges the gap between production and inventory management.

• Unified Operational Visibility: A centralized dashboard provides a comprehensive view of both shop floor and warehouse activities, enabling proactive decision-making and better resource allocation.
• Synchronizing Production Schedules and Inventory Availability: With real-time data synchronization, production managers always know what materials are available, reducing delays caused by material shortages.
• Automating Material Replenishment: As materials are consumed on the shop floor, the system automatically triggers replenishment requests to the warehouse, ensuring uninterrupted production.

By eliminating silos and creating a continuous flow of information, manufacturers can improve efficiency, reduce lead times, and enhance overall productivity.
