Data capture aids cost savings
August 1st 2009 When speciality food
products producer, English
Provender Company (EPC)
acquired Suffolk Foods it
had to incorporate chilled
products manufactured for
sandwich and ready meal
companies into its existing
production operation for
ambient product in glass
jars. As a result the
company is effectively
operating two factories in
one. Vital to the successful
running of the operation is
the Sanderson Formul8
system combined with stateof-
the-art data capture
products.
For pallet and lot
control of
finished
product,
both
chilled and
ambient,
English
Provender
selected
the Geneva
6100
handheld
and Monaco
7000 truck mounted devices
from Belgravium. These
help provide instantaneous
and accurate stock visibility.
In the raw material and
packaging warehouse the
Belgravium devices are used
to pick materials for
production, aiding
maximum efficiency.
Sandersons Formul8
together with Belgravium
data capture hardware is
reported to have enabled
EPC to cut its stock-taking
exercise from monthly to
quarterly, bringing about
significant cost savings. More articles from Belgravium Ltd: |
