A Siggins eWMS Success Story

Generating a Paperless Operation

The Challenge:

From their early days in the 1920s when they combined porcelain enameling, pigments and modern manufacturing methods, to current operations where they continue to innovate and create new coatings and colors, Ferro has a long history of finding new ways to improve performance.

Siggins was asked to assist with their efforts in making their Norcross, Georgia facility into a paperless operation. This proved to be an excellent application for Siggins eWMS™.

The Solution:

After making some changes to the existing system design and controls, eWMS was seamlessly incorporated into the daily workflow. The web-based interface has enabled greater automation through directed activities.

Supervisors can now assign tasks in real-time via most web-connected devices and computers. By using the built-in dashboards they can track worker and distribution center performance and have easy access to a “virtual” view of the entire facility. Also, the paths of Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) fork trucks are controlled by eWMS.

Features & Benefits Provided:

Web-based, user-friendly interface, compatible with mobile devices.

Warehouse systems automation through directed activities.

Barcode, RFID and voice recognition.

All were accomplished with the help of Siggins eWMS, the most cost-effective, highly functional warehouse management system on the market today!  Click here for more information.
