Clock-in and clock-out of jobs to capture labor transactions to update work in process (WIP).

Key Benefits of Manufacturing Data Collection

  • Real-Time Inventory

    Automated data collection updates inventory in real-time eliminating confusion regarding what’s on hand or how many are available.

  • Eliminate Data Entry Errors

    Barcode scanning eliminates after-the-fact data entry for material movement as well as labor transactions.

  • Versatile and Device Agnostic

    Manufacturing Data Collection is compatible with iPhone/IOS, Android, and other mobile, internet-compatible barcode scanners.

Important Features of Manufacturing Data Collection Software

Material Movement

Scan production tickets to move materials to production orders, downstream production operations, and into finished goods inventory when production is completed. Default material requirements from the production order and bill of material can be used to expedite transaction entry.

Clock-In / Clock-Out

Scan employee badges and production tickets to clock-in to production operations. Scan again to clock out of the operation reporting setup or production time and quantities scrapped or produced. Improve shop floor data collection and job costing with multi-job clock-in and clock-out activities for time and cost allocation to multiple jobs.

Supervisor Review

Scanned transactions can optionally be reviewed by supervisors facilitating data correction before posting to the database.

Mobile Compatibility

Access Manufacturing Data Collection on individual iPhone/iOS or Android devices or use shared terminals connected to barcode scanners compatible with internet applications.

Default Settings

Set defaults for automated data capture transactions, such as setting the default order type for automated scans; using the required quantity of materials as defined in the production ticket bill of materials for move transactions; mandatory location selection for material transactions; confirmation by line; use default warehouse; use default auto-generated lot or serial numbers; use default expiration date; and more.

Optional User-Defined Labels

Create custom labels with the connected Asgard Label application. Create 2D and 3D labels in multiple sizes and orientation containing part numbers, lot and serial details, expiration dates, and more.

"What really made [Acumatica] more appealing to us was the fact that it’s cloud-based. We had VPN service before … but it was slow and clunky, and because this is cloud-based I can work from anywhere at any time."
