IQMS DEBUTS RACKTRUCK CUSTOMIZED ENTERPRISE
RESOURCE
PLANNING (ERP) SOLUTION
New sophisticated inventory management
system increases productivity by 20 percent
Paso Robles, CA - June 24, 2009 -IQMS, a leader
in the design and development of manufacturing Enterprise Resource
Planning (ERP) software, today announced the release of its RackTruck
platform solution. RackTruck is a sophisticated inventory management
application that combines inventory scanning, forklift mounted monitors
and stocking location mapping for manufacturers.
The IQMS Automation Group developed the RackTruck module as part
of its continuing goal of working with existing IQMS customers to
create greater efficiency and automation between shop-floor hardware
and ERP software, resulting in leaner manufacturing operations.
RackTruck utilizes fork-lift mounted monitors and scanners to provide
capability that includes:
- Analyze multi-faceted inventory stocking or shipment requirements
- Determine which pallets should be pulled for a variety of orders
- Compare the requirements to the goods being made
- Combine supply and production review to determine stock location
or cross docking instruction
- Determine what is left on the floor and prioritize the pulls
and put-away for efficient utilization of manpower and equipment
"IQMS developed the unique RackTruck solution
rapidly when we asked for help," said Frank Sica, supply chain
manager for Double H Plastics. "We're now able to easily catch
schedule changes to ensure docks are filled with the correct product.
This has reduced the number of duplicate pulls to virtually zero,
and we have improved our warehouse efficiency in moving products
by 20 percent."
Double H Plastics, Inc., which provides high quality
plastic molding and extrusions for the food, paper, film and foil
converting industry, has experienced great success operating the
single-source EnterpriseIQ ERP platform for its growing manufacturing
and molding needs. In 2007, Double H implemented EnterpriseIQ throughout
its multiple locations.
"By creating a unique ERP solution, IQMS continues
to serve the different needs of all its customers," said Randy
Flamm, president and CEO of IQMS. "With the implementation
of RackTruck, Double H can now leverage 500 multiple functions across
the shop floor, ranging from Spread Sheet Server for financials,
to automated palletizers. While Double H is well known as a developer
of innovative solutions and out-of-the-box thinking, it should also
be recognized for adopting an agile, lean and integrated manufacturing
development processes that will change the way companies conduct
business."
