Vehicle and Heavy Equipment manufacturing involves large amounts of expensive parts and a complex production process across multiple geographical sites. The sheer volume and size mandate huge warehouses and yards. Finding the right engine at the right time and getting it to the production line in a timely and efficient manner is a major logistics challenge. Making sure a work cell lagging behind does not result in a process-stopping bottleneck is even more critical.
Reducing standing inventories, improving throughput and reducing process hiccups and delays is at the core of business excellence in today’s hyper competitive market.

In addition to sophisticated ERP systems, warehouse (WMS) and production floor management applications, automotive manufacturers retain a large number of employees who are busy seeking and finding equipment or scanning and reporting the existing inventory status. Over-stocking practices are used to avoid hold-ups on manufacturing lines. This is a costly and inefficient approach, which cannot provide real-time and complete visibility into the supply chain.

The Precyse solution automates IT’s "last-mile" to the production floor by attaching a Smart Agent device to parts and products. Using secure, bi-directional communication, the Precyse N3 network provides supply chain managers and floor operators real time status visibility, allowing them to design and manage a streamlined, effective and efficient manufacturing process.
