With the release of the 4.16 version of Distrib, Pcdata has expanded its warehouse management system (WMS) even further. Hundreds of bakeries throughout the world can now benefit from improved track & trace options and from mobile solutions for final distribution and loading procedures. These new options guarantee even more accurate information, increased efficiency, more convenience and additional flexibility in the workplace.
The track & trace function in Distrib 4.16 has been further refined. Bakeries can now monitor all stages of product processing and distribution with even more precision. This is done by allocating a unique production batch number to each stack of crates. The batch number can be linked to specific production-related information on the bread or pastries stored in a stack, for example the production line or cutting line number.
More grip and more efficiency
During the production process, Distrib accurately registers all operations that are performed for each stack. It does so by applying unique production batch numbers that inextricably link all production-related details to the products until the customer takes receipt of them. In the case of an incident involving one of the production lines, the bakeries will now know exactly which production batch numbers were involved and to which of their customers the products in question were delivered.
In addition, efficiency during operations is improved. Most bakeries can generate batch numbers in their existing product registration systems, but never has this been as convenient as with Distrib. Finally, the system also offers improved options with which to generate track & trace data. An extensive set of traceability reports makes it possible to easily retrieve all relevant information on product, batch number, customer or route. The intuitive click-through function allows for the quick and effective tracking of each product.
