Eliminate periodic inventories with a forklift-mounted cycle counting system

Inventory checks via mobile computers during normal parts picking improves calculated inventory accuracy and shows potential to need for periodic physical inventories at a plastic closure manufacturing facility.

The facility has gone from four quarterly physical inventories that each involved 35 people and one day of lost production to a single year-end physical inventory. The warehouses are handling 35% more inventory with no additional staff or equipment, and automation has expedited order billing, shipping and tracking.
