Solutions Focus on Warehouse and Logistics Automation, Improving
Operational Efficiency and Reducing Risk
SAN JOSE, Calif., June 30 - Bayer Material Science, one of the world's
largest producers of polymers and high-performance plastics, announced
it is deploying a series of RFID and sensor-enabled warehousing and
logistics automation solutions using InSync's Edgeware platform.
InSync's technology allows Bayer to rapidly build, test, and deploy
multiple solutions using a single, common application platform.
Bayer has deployed its first solution which manages and automates the
placement and picking of high-value assets stored on large storage
racks using automated material handling equipment. The solution
leverages data from Bayer's back-end systems and integrates with the
material handling equipment using Programmable Logic Controllers
(PLCs) to effectively manage and precisely instruct operators and
machinery in the identification, picking, and placing of these assets.
The solution improves Bayer's warehousing efficiencies and eliminates
much of the human error associated with manual placement and picking
operations that result in delays or lost goods. Future deployments
will address common processes such as weigh scales and other areas of
operations that are inherently prone to human error and latency.
"We selected InSync because its application platform enables us to
deploy complete device-to-dashboard solutions rapidly - from
management of our sensory and RFID infrastructure, to providing
operators, managers, and executives with real-time dashboard views of
relevant events and Key Process Indicators (KPIs) and integration with
our existing ERP infrastructure," said Cyrus Jassawalla, Head of NAFTA
Polyurethanes Site Logistics for Bayer Material Science, "InSync's
combination of award winning solutions and Edgeware application
platform provide us comprehensive capability to develop enterprise
class Auto-ID applications."
InSync's Edgeware connects with commercially available RFID, Auto-ID,
and sensors to understand the activity that is being managed. Its
edge logic capability is configurable and reusable across multiple
locations. A functions library includes edge logic processes that are
useable out-of-the-box. These allow for management of local
activities such as item-tag association, shipping, receiving, and
inventory management.
"We are very pleased to be selected by Bayer to provide the foundation
layer for these forward-thinking solutions," says Ashish Chona, CEO of
InSync Software, Inc. "Bayer is serving as an industry leader by
embracing cutting-edge technologies and solutions built on our
Edgeware platform to improve operational efficiencies, and ultimately
provide safer, better quality products and services."
