Automated Data Collection
Parity offers a variety of solutions for reducing the time and energy invested
in paper-based transaction processing. For the sales side, Electronic Data
Interchange (EDI) connects you to your major customers and their operational
requirements. Many companies require hands-free initiation of sales orders and
paperless submission of shipping notices and billings. For order execution, the
Parity Supply Chain Execution (SCE) Suite offers solutions for directed
manufacturing, picking, staging and shipping with barcode inventory tracking,
warehouse management and shop floor data collection.
With the right tools, your operations crew can accurately and orderly execute these critical and time-sensitive tasks. Throughout your plant, warehouse and loading dock, Parity optimizes your throughput by allowing your operations team to clearly see, pick and stage product even during periods of extreme activity or when a warehouse is at or above capacity. By improving the process, physical movement is optimized, errors are eliminated and orders are shipped accurately and on time.
Shop Floor Data Collection
Electronic output from manufacturing equipment can be converted to automated,
real-time production data. The system can be implemented with specialized
in-line weighing solutions, for operations such as fresh pack and catch weight,
which require individual box tracking. Through simple barcode scanning, the
Parity SCE Shop Floor and Warehouse Management solutions automate your data
collection as product travels through the manufacturing process. Paper-based
production tracking and lot tracing are replaced by real-time data collection.
The visibility of the data provides more intelligible information for running
your plant while allowing you to easily exceed the end-to-end tracing
requirements of customers and regulatory agencies.
Systems Integration
Parity protects your investment in existing software and equipment. Parity
expertise and tools for systems integration provide opportunities to take
advantage of work done in other systems, other business units and specialized
software tools. Timekeeping systems not only drive payroll but also manage manufacturing and
operations labor costs. If you have retail operations, your retail system can
automatically report to Parity. Virtually any process that drives your business is a candidate for integration
with the Parity Food Enterprise.
