At a Glance: iAutomation unifies industry-leading technology with innovative design to provide market-leading machine control solutions for their customers. By leveraging iAutomation’s proven record of custom-tailored application successes, the powerful solutions crafted by iAutomation’s team of over 50 engineers allow OEM customers to bring their product to market faster while ensuring an enduring evolution of machine performance. iAutomation, in combination with the best-in-class products they represent, is the innovation leader in machine control solutions. When iAutomation decided they needed a more capable warehouse bar code scanning solution to support assembly and distribution processes in their existing instance of NetSuite, they looked to OzLINK for that solution. Industry: Machine Control: Distribution, manufacturing, and services Oz Solutions: OzLINK Mobile, OzLINK Shipping Applications: NetSuite Key Benefits:
Dramatically increased inventory accuracy
Streamlined the work order assembly build process, improving productivity
Improved operational efficiency saving tens of thousands of dollars a year The Challenge: iAutomation’s growth and expanding product offering were taxing existing
warehouse resources. With multiple locations and a mix of manufacturing &
distribution, they realized they needed better end-to-end visibility, and a lot more
flexibility which lead directly to NetSuite & OzLINK. Also, their part numbers are
very long, creating too many opportunities for errors. The requirements included :
Integrated cycle counting with NetSuite
Leverage bar code scanning to improve receiving, picking, and work orders.
Pack validation and shipping automation
Work order picking with backordered material receipt alerts
The Solution: Initially iAutomation started with shipping and the basic bar scanning capabilities of
OzLINK. As their success increased and the business grew, they added work order
processing and cycle count. Since most of their items arrive with no bar code, the
solution provides the ability to print item bar code labels upon receiving. The
benefits they achieved include:
Increased number of items that were bar coded throughout the process
Inventory allocation at work order picking improved visibility
Automation using bar code scanning increased operational efficiency across the board
