In a manufacturing company it’s essential to know accurately the availability and the location of raw materials, equipment, semi-finished and finished products in stock. A correct warehouse management allows to spare time by eliminating the waiting times caused by the lack of material or by material that, although present, is not easy to find. Thanks to the most widespread identification systems (barcode, QR code) and the most sophisticated ones (RFID tags, NFC, beacons, etc.), it’s possible to quickly locate and track any material or resource is there inside the plant. These functions allow to ensure that the resources inside the plant, and related items, can be available in the times and places required.

Jpiano®, beyound to warehouse management, can act in a complementary way by operating on inbound and outbound logistic activities. Considering logistics as a transversal process integrated with production and management activities offers new opportunities to improve operational efficiency and increase the level of service provided to the customer in terms of quality, time and costs. In this perspective, logistics must be involved in the planning, organization and control phases of company activities by constantly communicating with internal departments, customers, distributors, suppliers, sub-suppliers, carriers.
