Wireless Data Collection for the Metals Industry

In today’s economy, technology is one of the most critical drivers to reducing cost and improving profits. While many metals companies have an ERP system in place, often times the manner in which data is fed to the ERP system is via manual keystrokes taken from hand-written paperwork. With Verticent’s Wireless Data Collection, gone are the days of redundant steps and extensive error cleanup, as Verticent includes a powerful bar code data collection service throughout its solution.

  • Improved Customer Satisfaction

  • Lower Costs and Higher Profits

Not only do all output documents that are generated from Verticent contain bar codes, but those bar codes can be used to perform inventory transactions such as material receipt, issue, put-away, cycle counting and shipment. These transactions are validated in real-time so that the operator is prevented from selecting the wrong material or applying material to an incorrect work order or shipment.
