1. Project background
In traditional manufacturing companies, daily management is more concentrated in product management, quality management, warehouse management, mobile asset management, on-site personnel management, fleet management, and so on. The collection of production line information usually adopts manual collection and manual input. This method of manual collection and manual input is far from accurate and has a large error rate. In addition, manual input can only be done regularly, which results in the production plan being submitted on a weekly or monthly basis, which cannot be accurate to the day. The production data in the system cannot be updated in real time, and the lag is serious, which is not conducive to the smooth progress of the production flow and restricts the further increase of production capacity. At the same time, most functional departments of manufacturing enterprises mostly use paper and pen primary recording methods, which makes most functional departments of manufacturing enterprises face a large number of data errors and reduces the overall productivity of the enterprise.
Manufacturing companies have realized the existence of these problems and tried to use emerging technologies to solve these problems. At present, some manufacturing enterprises use barcode recognition to improve the accuracy of data entry, but there are still technical bottlenecks in barcode recognition:
1. The different efficiency of workers can easily cause uneven division of labor in the group;
2. Production abnormalities and production line bottlenecks cannot be found in real time;
3. The labor efficiency is low, and the actual working time utilization rate is not high;
4. Once the barcode label is not clearly printed, there are problems such as folding marks, the barcode gun is difficult to identify;
5. Real-time tracking is not possible, and it is difficult for the management to arrange work according to the work status. If there is a problem in a certain process of the work process, it must be eliminated until the next day;
6. Barcode data collection requires a dedicated team of personnel to operate, and labor costs are high;
Therefore, the production line management system represented by barcode recognition has become increasingly unable to meet the requirements of enterprises for efficient and lean production management. While deepening modern management concepts, it is of great significance for enterprises to build a more advanced technology production line management system.
