On-demand manufacturing software provider Glovia Services today announced a new stand-alone software module meant to help manufacturers boost their kanban efforts and enhance related business processes, including inventory, production, engineering, shipping, and receiving. The GSInnovate Electronic Kanban (eKanban) Edition, which Glovia calls a service because it is delivered on demand, is a component of the GSInnovate ERP suite. It is also offered as a stand-alone module for customers that don't need or aren't interested in the full GSInnovate suite, said Glovia Services director of sales support Jim Errington, in an interview with Managing Automation. The eKanban service addresses traditional kanban limitations by moving beyond basic low-inventory alerts to actually tracking and managing material flow and manufacturing processes in real time, Errington said. The system recognizes consumption of materials and parts and automatically generates resupply pull triggers when necessary. [Click to continue] |
