Intelligent Management System

Material Lean Management Platform

Design Concept: 

The material management system adopts IoT technology, combines the idea of lean material management with the material's unique identification code to integrate the data resources originally distributed in various application systems, and realize the full life cycle management and full track management of materials. It has the functions of automatically generating purchase lists, automatically calculating existing values, inventory warning, online management of scrapping processes, etc. It uses mobile terminals and computers to support the processing of real-time information on materials to the maximum extent, gives full play to the collaborative interaction between human and machine, improves material management performance, and enhances the level of lean material management in enterprises.

System advantages and features:

1. Realize the full life cycle and full track management of materials;

2. Realize the specialization, standardization, process, dataization and refinement of enterprise material management;

3. Realize intelligent early warning of material information, material history information tracking, and automatic generation of purchase lists;

4. Improve inventory management accuracy and reduce inventory management costs;

5. Reduce the error rate of human material management;
