The Synergy of Robotics and Tracking Solutions Helps to Ensure the Production Line Has the Right Assets, at the Right Place and at the Right Time
Have you ever been working under a car and didn’t have the right part or tool handy? I still can feel my dad’s frustration when I didn’t give him the right tool as he struggled on his back in a precarious position. Modern production lines move fast, and they rely on having the right assets in the right location or they run the risk of costly downtime. SAP’s production planning capabilities also need to know that the right parts and people are available in order to support the planned build for the day. Tracking solutions for parts, tools, and people vary from clipboards, barcoding, RFID, and providing critical data, to production planning tools. Moreover, the strained labor market is forcing suppliers to turn to robots to reduce unproductive labor hours to push and drive assets to the production line. This discussion will focus on the current state of production line asset readiness and what organizations need today and into the future.
