Tuesday, March 18, 2014 at the
Atlanta Georgia World Congress Center, Pcdata USA is having Manufacturing
Revival Radio hosts Todd Schnick and Todd Youngblood interview CEOs, CFOs,
Operations Managers, and Quality Assurance Managers about their experiences in
picking fast-moving consumer goods products.
The interviews will take place at the Pcdata USA MODEX Booth #
4834. The interviews will be recorded live
during the event.
Manufacturing Revival Radio is a
weekly podcast about the resurgence of American manufacturing. The hosts will
interview thought leaders and innovators who are pushing the boundaries of what
is possible with manufacturing in the 21st Century — both in the U.S. and
around the globe. Manufacturing.net is a syndication partner of Manufacturing
Revival Radio. Pcdata USA is proud to
invite select industry experts to discuss these topics and critical issues.
Too often too many companies spend
far too much money on complicated picking solutions when a simple,
easy-to-install solution will do the job.
These interviews will cover a cross-section of market sectors relevant
to the manufacturing and distribution marketplace.
Only when the industry can learn
from each other are advances made in lean manufacturing and best-practice
solutions. What WCS (warehouse control systems) WMS (warehouse management
systems), and other expensive integration solutions require is IT
involvement. These interviews will
profile what has and has not worked.
When is less more? When are plug
and play solutions the better choice in material handling?
Efficient warehouse processes and
support by means of state-of-the-art providing transparent, up-to-the-minute,
and consistent flow of information – the result is a warehouse that is flexible
and economically managed. Storage space saved and the management of
“best-used-before” dates and residual terms plays an important role as well.
The guests for these important
radio interviews will have designated interview times during MODEX and will
share picking system topics ranging from preconfigured warehouse processes, to
repacking of pallets, management of reserved spaces within a picking warehouse
and maintenance of various fixed bins per article or “pick and pack”
processes.
With every manufacturing and
warehouse operation working to increase productivity, improve picking accuracy,
and keep labor costs down, pick to light is a light-directed picking technology
provides an accurate and efficient method of paperless picking, putting or
sorting and assembling products.
At MODEX there will be several
conversations about how pick to light can be used on a stand-alone basis as an
order fulfillment software solution versus integrated directly into the
warehouse management system. Since pick
to light is an easy process to learn—training a picking operator can take just
30 a minutes—which means a rapid ROI.
The idea of pick to light installation versus complicated
implementations will also be discussed during the interviews at MODEX.
The Manufacturing Revival Radio
hosts will inquire about the scope of supply chain automation, from production
automation, paperless order picking, to goods dispatch and tracking and
tracing. These interviews are to share
the most efficient ways to get orders out accurately and quickly.
Interview Deadline: January 31st.
