AstraZeneca Enhances Product Traceability with Honeywell Forge
AstraZeneca, a global biopharmaceutical business, was faced with the challenge of complying with an increasing number of country-specific regulations that required products to be traceable throughout the supply chain. This necessitated changes in existing warehouse processes and the provision of equipment to warehouse and production staff to efficiently record product movement down to the sales pack. AstraZeneca also aimed to provide inspectors and sales representatives with the means to verify product status directly in the field. A significant concern was the potential impact of a single centralized database on the performance of scanning devices used in the warehouse, with an instantaneous response being a key requirement. Accuracy and the ability to verify material batch quantities against outbound SAP deliveries were also crucial.

Global Electronic Instrument Manufacturer Reduces Inventory by 15% Using AI-Powered Solution
In 2019, a global leader in electronic instrument manufacturing aimed to improve their organizational shortage communication and achieve ambitious inventory reduction goals. The company's demand varied from item to item, which complicated their inventory purchasing process and affected supply to the manufacturing floor. This put factories at risk of production-halting critical shortages. The management of this complexity was challenged by an unwieldy ERP system and a lack of total visibility into operations. Establishing optimal order policies for inventory management was possible in the ERP, but it required manual ABC analyses, a cumbersome process that took three to six months. The team viewed these analyses at a quarterly cadence, arguably too infrequently to react to market demand. Metrics around action items, time management, usage, and average demand were not available to the team in their ERP system.

Revolutionizing Warehouse Management: Bitlog's Digital Solution
Bitlog, a Sweden-based company specializing in supply and logistics software solutions, was in need of a reliable software development partner to design and develop a state-of-the-art warehouse automation system. The goal was to create a user-friendly iOS application with extensive functionality. A crucial aspect of the project was UX design, which was required to ensure the smooth operation of the product. The challenges faced by the UX specialists at N-iX, the software development partner, included structuring the requirements and breaking down all the processes into user flows according to specific roles, and creating an intuitive UX to ensure smooth operation of warehouses. The efficiency of a typical warehouse depends on delivery planning and numerous logistics operations, which include dozens of coordinated activities performed by different employees. Warehouse automation systems need to include all these operations and also account for unforeseeable circumstances.
