VANTAGE Handheld functionality extends the traditional Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) on the plant floor with wireless functionality for the efficient capture of real-time transactions and maximisation of employee effectiveness. It is available from COGITA .
Whether doing physical inventory, material moves, or looking up serialised part information, the Vantage Handheld application offers an easy to use interface that is designed for local Vantage users in Australia and New Zealand
Offering comprehensive inventory visibility and control, the Vantage Handheld module allows the user to track their inventory as it moves throughout their enterprise.
Through the use of barcode scanning using stationary, portable, wired or wireless (radio frequency) equipment, users can quickly complete inventory transactions as they happen on the floor. Real-time data capture eliminates the need for traditional data entry thereby improving inventory accuracy and speeding up the order-to-ship cycle.
Vantage Handheld transactions provide users with event-based directing and routing of all managed tasks in real-time. Additionally, the user can maintain complete transaction event history for analysis and reporting purposes.
Flexible to deploy, Epicor Handheld technology uses industry-standard Microsoft Terminal Services OS for handheld devices allowing almost any device to be used. Just like any screen in Vantage, Vantage Handheld is highly customisable so users can change workflow, add or remove options, and even resize their screens if they don't fit the 240 x 320 screen size requirements.
Including support for Advanced Material Management transactions, the Vantage Handheld application better manages material handling capabilities by putting the update and review functionality in the hand of the material handler or forklift operator. Coupled with Handheld transactions for real time processing, Advanced Material Management offers detailed tracking of material requirements and work in process information through mobile access to the material and picked orders queue.
