KnarrTek WIP Tracking Solutions

KnarrTek provides a variety of cost-saving work-in-process (WIP) tracking solutions for manufacturers and other industrial organizations.

These systems are based on the use of the BellHawk^® operations tracking software platform and the MilramX^™ automated data exchange software platform.

These systems are available for use over the Internet, on a subscription basis, by small and mid-sized organizations on servers managed by KnarrTek in the USA.

These systems are also available, on a rental basis, for installation by a customer's IT department on their own Windows Servers.

These solutions include:

• Tracking the movement of WIP materials from work station to work station.
• Tracking when work is started and finished on each work order operation and the labor required.
• Tracking the flow of materials from work order operation to operation including preventing the use of wrong materials.
• Capturing cost data such as labor and machine time and materials consumed in each work-order operation
• Capturing materials traceability data as to which materials went into which products.

These tracking solutions can be used stand-alone or can be used with ERP systems to provide the detailed work-in-process tracking capabilities that most ERP systems lack.

In these situations work orders are automatically transferred from the ERP system to the tracking system using MilramX. Then BellHawk tracks work-in-process in real-time through the "black hole" of production and feeds back the resultant materials and labor consumed, as well as the products made, to the ERP system.
