Manufacturing with Mobexx & Zebra Technologies
New Demands in Manufacturing
Manufacturing today faces increasing complexity. Costs are under more pressure, compliance and legislation are stricter, and raw materials are more expensive. The trend for personalisation means consumers expect unique products built and delivered quickly with flawless quality. Manufacturers must keep pace with these demands. That’s where Mobexx and Zebra Technologies create the perfect partnership. Zebra Technologies significantly enhances manufacturing processes by leveraging advanced technologies to provide real-time visibility, streamline operations, and improve accuracy and efficiency.
Real-Time Visibility
Zebra’s solutions provide manufacturers with comprehensive, real-time visibility into their operations. This includes tracking the movement of raw materials, work-in-progress, and finished goods throughout the production process. Key technologies include:
- RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification): Enables real-time tracking of items and assets throughout the supply chain and production line.
- IoT (Internet of Things): Connects devices and sensors to provide a continuous stream of data for monitoring and optimisation.
Enhanced Data Capture
Accurate data capture is critical for efficient manufacturing. Zebra’s advanced barcode scanners, RFID readers, and mobile computing devices ensure that data is captured accurately and efficiently at every stage of the manufacturing process. This includes:
- Barcode Scanning: High-performance barcode scanners capture data quickly and accurately.
- Mobile Computing: Rugged mobile computers allow workers to access and input data on the go, improving flexibility and efficiency.
Streamlined Workflows
Zebra’s technology helps streamline manufacturing workflows by automating processes and reducing manual tasks. This leads to faster production times and reduced errors.
- Automated Inventory Management: RFID and barcode scanning automate the tracking of inventory, reducing the need for manual counts and minimising stock discrepancies.
- Digital Work Instructions: Mobile devices and tablets can display real-time work instructions and SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures), ensuring that workers have the latest information.
Improved Quality Control
Maintaining high-quality standards is crucial in manufacturing. Zebra’s solutions enhance quality control by providing tools for detailed tracking and monitoring:
- Quality Inspections: Mobile devices and scanners can be used to conduct quality inspections at various stages of production.
- Traceability: RFID tags and barcodes provide complete traceability of parts and products, enabling quick identification and resolution of quality issues.
Increased Efficiency and Productivity
By automating routine tasks and providing real-time information, Zebra’s solutions help increase overall efficiency and productivity in manufacturing environments:
- Task Automation: Automated data capture and processing reduce the time spent on manual data entry and paperwork.
- Optimised Asset Utilisation: Real-time tracking and monitoring of assets ensure that equipment and materials are used efficiently, reducing downtime and maximising productivity.
Enhanced Supply Chain Management
Zebra’s technology improves supply chain management by providing end-to-end visibility and control over the entire supply chain:
- Supply Chain Tracking: Real-time tracking of shipments and inventory ensures timely deliveries and reduces the risk of under or overstocking.
- Supplier Performance: Data analytics tools can monitor supplier performance, helping manufacturers make informed decisions about their supply chain partners.
Employee Empowerment
Equipping workers with the right tools and information empowers them to perform their tasks more effectively:
- Mobile Devices: Workers can access real-time data, communicate with team members, and receive instant notifications, enhancing their productivity and decision-making.
- Wearable Technology: Wearable devices, such as smart glasses and wrist-mounted computers, provide hands-free access to information, allowing workers to stay focused on their tasks.
Scalability and Flexibility
Zebra’s solutions are designed to be scalable and flexible, allowing manufacturers to adapt to changing demands and scale their operations as needed:
- Modular Solutions: Zebra offers a range of products and solutions that can be tailored to specific manufacturing needs and integrated into existing systems.
- Future-Proof Technology: By investing in advanced technologies like IoT and RFID, manufacturers can future-proof their operations and stay ahead of industry trends.
