TRANSCRIPT
WHEN IT COMES TO INDUSTRIAL IoT MATERIAL FLOW MANAGEMENT Panasonic invented the wheel so you donrsquot have to
Panasonic is building the future of manufacturing for you
In 2011 The Fourth Industrial Revolution ndash Industry 40 ndash was launched as a concept at the Hanover Fair Germany This was the beginning of the evolution of manufacturing to take advantage of the Industrial Internet of Things Today every aspect of manufacturingrsquos 5 ldquoMsrdquo ndash Machines Materials Method Man (labor) Measurement and Mother Nature (environment) ndash has been impacted The Panasonic Logiscend System is integrated with all of these important concepts but we are focused on material flow management
A decade ago at the same time as Industry 40 was presented in Germany Panasonicrsquos IIoT Solutions began to develop the worldrsquos most comprehensive IIoT solution for complex material flow process management the Panasonic Logiscend System This system allows you to configure and reconfigure your pick setup in warehouse or at lineside automatically replenish your parts identify tag and locate every part in your process identify tag and locate critical tools and assets in your plant and turn every container into a smart container that you can locate and track anywhere on the planet
Panasonicrsquos view of the future of material flow management Integrating with the 5 Ms of the Fourth Industrial Revolution
We have come a long way toward revolutionizing the way material is managed in manufacturing around the world We plan to go even further Our Panasonic Logiscend System new rules engine is the basis of an AI engine that will help us optimize material routes and help become better integrated with Method Man Machine and Measurement
The integration can impact every level of plant operation - from the picker on the warehouse floor to the materials supervisor to the plant manager and even to the C-suite The Pansonic vision ties into the digital thread and leads to continuous improvement smarter machine maintenance optimized laborrobotics deployment more efficient design
We are currently exploring the impact of new technologies like 5G vision sensors and more While we are focused on materials our parent company Panasonic - and many of our sister companies - are also exploring new ways for manufacturing to move forward with Industry 40

Industry 40 and the IIoT are the (inevitable) future
IIoT has evolved Sophistication has increased while costs have been reduced Data storage is less costly Wi-Fi servers are more powerful and smaller sensors are smaller and more sophisticated e-paper has the same visual impact as paper without the cost
Our typical client pays for their IIoT system in 9 months or less
Drivers for change to an Industry 40IIoT solution
bull Customers demand faster turnaround and more
customized ordering capability in order to meet
Just-In-Time and Just-In-Sequence orders
bull Plant management wants more information from the
material flow process
bull Operations wants a higher degree of accuracy in picking
and kitting
bull Your parent (or sister) company is investigating other
industry 40 IIoT technology that requires integrated data
from the supply chain
bull The plant manager is committed to reducing their
carbon footprint by 2025 and is looking at paper
consumption waste and disposal
Scope of this Pick eBook
This eBook will describe our pick process called Pick-to-Tag one of five modules in our materials flow solution that will handle your materials as you transform your plant to become
More efficient
More productive
More accurate
More transparent
Greener
More profitable
And better integrated with your other manufacturing and market-ing systems

Panasonic Logiscend Pick Application A Pick-to-Tag wireless Pick solution
Definition PickingPicking is the act of gathering materials on the manufacturing
floor or in a warehouse with pickers performing an action like
assembling kits to grouping parts re-working preparing for
fulfillment or shipping Picking can be set up as a supermarket
or as a lineside activity
Brief history of pickingTraditionally picking actions were transmitted via paper instructions Every bin was identified with a paper label Paper travelers listed the pick jobs the parts and part quantities for each kit As time moves forward Pick-to-Paper systems are being replaced with solutions that are more agile more accurate more productive and more flexible The Panasonic Logiscend System is an Industry 40 solution for picking that not only streamlines the picking activity but also provides realtime data that can be incorporated into analytics for continuous improvement of the materials flow process within your facility
How Pick-to-Tag worksPick-to-Tag connects your warehouse supermarket or lineside with a wireless environment and replaces your current system (usually Pick-to-Paper or Pick-to-Light) with electronic RFIDe-paper tags The tags provide the visual instructions to your pickers with the same impact as paper without the cost and logistical disadvantages Once installed Pick-to-Tag is intuitive to use so it requires minimal training Communication to the Tags is 2-way and instantaneous When pickers complete a task yoursquoll know in real time
Reconfigure in 2 hours or lessShould you need to reconfigure your picking location to accommodate a just-in-time order or a just-in-sequence order you can accomplish this in a couple of hours or less Even if your reconfiguration is radical - for example from a supermarket to a lineside operation - you can handle it in an hour or two Thanks Panasonic IIoT
What are the most common systems for picking Pick-to-Paper is still the most common system with paper pick lists paper labels paper instructions Organizations that switch away from paper tell us that they were surprised to discover how much the paper and printing supporting their paper-based system actually cost Compared to a wireless solution paper is slower less accurate less flexible and less green
If you canrsquot reconfigure your warehouse supermarket or lineside pick in two hours be advised your competition can
Panasonic Logiscend material flow management systemA proven IIoT material solution where pick is just the beginning
Your customers are saying
I want it my way I want it now and I want it perfect
If this demand is familiar talk to us We heard it ten years ago We developed a solution We can help you transform your factories with the same IIoT materials flow processes we are using in our own plants Our technology integrates beautifully with your MESERP system Wersquoll set it up for you or you can do it yourself ndash the APIs are open source

amp CONTROLLogiscend is a fully integrated system that includes all of the hardware and software you need to ensure complete end-to-end process visibility seamlessly fitting into your existing process The differentiating products are the visual display tags These display tags directly replace paper labels with wirelessly connected e-paper displays in a variety of sizes As with paper labels operators can see right on the container or assembly all handling instructions Unlike paper labels these visual tags and the assets on which they are placed can be tracked as they flow through the factory in real-time The Logiscend difference the displayed instruction can be changed at any time from anywhere as conditions merit Donrsquot just collect information ndash give workers the ability to act on it immediately
How Logiscend Works
Pick Locate gt Select gt RouteGetting the right parts to the right place at the right time in any factory starts with ensuring an accurate picking or kitting of those parts from the warehouse supermarket or line-side location Paper-based processes are highly error-prone and inefficient when it comes to ensuring the correct parts are located and selected manually by operators Wired Pick to Light systems are costly to install and difficult to reconfigure The Logiscend Pick Application ensures a cost-effective accurate and efficient process by providing visual cues and instruction for operators for each job with a wireless VIEW Tag on each bin rack or shelf
Replenishment Call gt Pick gt DeliverParts replenishment is a key function in any manufacturing operation The Logiscend Replenishment Application allows an operator to ldquocallrdquo for parts or services ndash by manually pressing a button on the VIEW tag automatically initiating a call via a flow rack switch or ordering parts with a tablet ndash and immediately receiving a response via a ldquocall sentrdquo message right on the tag The handler receives the message directly the delivery is then scheduled and an instruction is sent to the VIEW tag that the order has been picked Manager dashboards provide the visibility into calls picks and deliveries to ensure efficiency and opportunities for process improvement
Asset Tracking Find gt Count gt MeasureThe Panasonic Logiscend Asset Tracking Application is the smartest way for high-volume manufacturers to track count and record the status of assets access their history and flag them for repair and renewal This intelligent customizable industrial IoT solution eliminates manual inventory management costs tracks assets in real-time and generates reports for documentation and compliance
Work Instructions Instruct gt Route gt RecordEfficient process workflows are the key to ensuring a seamless operation The Logiscend Work Instructions Application provides the ability to send the appropriate instruction to a monitor in the work zone on the factory floor to instruct operators automatically what to build and how to build it ndash ensuring the correct instruction is always provided at the right workstation The Logiscend Work Instructions Application also provides the ability to send new instructions when issues arise or there is a change in production build
Smart Container Schedule gt Track gt OptimizeAs factories increasingly are being asked to respond in real time to more and more product options and customized product variations from consumers static paper labels guiding materials through the extended supply chain are unable to keep up Smart containers that can be tracked and redirected to respond automatically to this complexity telling operators what to do next are the answer The Logiscend solution provides an exponential leap forward in gaining full process control in our new connected world with self-directed ldquosmart containersrdquo Yoursquoll never lose another container or be short of crucial material again
More than 80 of errors are typically eliminated when visual instructions are present
gt20 of containers are reported lost annually costing companies millions of dollars
It was much easier than I thought to convert to the Panasonic Logiscend IIoT pick module Once the server and gateway were in place we reconfigured one warehouse picking site in a couple of hours and immediately pickers learned the system and were outperforming their previous efforts In the first week we learned more about the strengths and weaknesses of our Pick process than we ever knew We never looked back

Logiscend is designed to manage complex material flow applications while simply integrating with your existing processes and MES systems The Logiscend system collects the location and status information by individual container providing the factory floor visibility necessary to automate or re-direct workflows in real-time
Solving the most common cause of factory inefficiencyWe have worked with factories all over the world and found that the 1 problem impacting their output is the same ndash material flow management Machine uptime defective materials operator skilltraining or resource scheduling arenrsquot the biggest issues Itrsquos simply ldquogetting the right parts to the right place at the right time Logiscend was designed with this in mind
Too often the result is chaos on the factory floor by late afternoon Logiscend is the solution to those issues and more
bull Does production regularly come to a near-standstill as issues inevitably pile up
bull Do you often reassignreschedule routes for work in process
bull Do you manually track down containers to apply new instructions

Replenishment Call gt Pick gt DeliverParts replenishment is a key function in any manufacturing operation The Logiscend Replenishment Application allows an operator to ldquocallrdquo for parts or services ndash by manually pressing a button on the VIEW tag automatically initiating a call via a flow rack switch or ordering parts with a tablet ndash and immediately receiving a response via a ldquocall sentrdquo message right on the tag The handler receives the message directly the delivery is then scheduled and an instruction is sent to the VIEW tag that the order has been picked Manager dashboards provide the visibility into calls picks and deliveries to ensure efficiency and opportunities for process improvement
Asset Tracking Find gt Count gt MeasureThe Panasonic Logiscend Asset Tracking Application is the smartest way for high-volume manufacturers to track count and record the status of assets access their history and flag them for repair and renewal This intelligent customizable industrial IoT solution eliminates manual inventory management costs tracks assets in real-time and generates reports for documentation and compliance
Work Instructions Instruct gt Route gt RecordEfficient process workflows are the key to ensuring a seamless operation The Logiscend Work Instructions Application provides the ability to send the appropriate instruction to a monitor in the work zone on the factory floor to instruct operators automatically what to build and how to build it ndash ensuring the correct instruction is always provided at the right workstation The Logiscend Work Instructions Application also provides the ability to send new instructions when issues arise or there is a change in production build
Smart Container Schedule gt Track gt OptimizeAs factories increasingly are being asked to respond in real time to more and more product options and customized product variations from consumers static paper labels guiding materials through the extended supply chain are unable to keep up Smart containers that can be tracked and redirected to respond automatically to this complexity telling operators what to do next are the answer The Logiscend solution provides an exponential leap forward in gaining full process control in our new connected world with self-directed ldquosmart containersrdquo Yoursquoll never lose another container or be short of crucial material again
More than 80 of errors are typically eliminated when visual instructions are present
gt20 of containers are reported lost annually costing companies millions of dollars

bull Do you often reassignreschedule routes for work in process
bull Do you manually track down containers to apply new instructions
bull Is managing the count sequence or status of your WIP inventory a challenge because itrsquos manual
bull Do you have teams of ldquorunners that are sent out to the floor to find specific containers for a job or inspection
ENTERPRISE VISUALIZATION
amp CONTROLLogiscend is a fully integrated system that includes all of the hardware and software you need to ensure complete end-to-end process visibility seamlessly fitting into your existing process The differentiating products are the visual display tags These display tags directly replace paper labels with wirelessly connected e-paper displays in a variety of sizes As with paper labels operators can see right on the container or assembly all handling instructions Unlike paper labels these visual tags and the assets on which they are placed can be tracked as they flow through the factory in real-time The Logiscend difference the displayed instruction can be changed at any time from anywhere as conditions merit Donrsquot just collect information ndash give workers the ability to act on it immediately
How Logiscend Works
Pick Locate gt Select gt RouteGetting the right parts to the right place at the right time in any factory starts with ensuring an accurate picking or kitting of those parts from the warehouse supermarket or line-side location Paper-based processes are highly error-prone and inefficient when it comes to ensuring the correct parts are located and selected manually by operators Wired Pick to Light systems are costly to install and difficult to reconfigure The Logiscend Pick Application ensures a cost-effective accurate and efficient process by providing visual cues and instruction for operators for each job with a wireless VIEW Tag on each bin rack or shelf
Replenishment Call gt Pick gt DeliverParts replenishment is a key function in any manufacturing operation The Logiscend Replenishment Application allows an operator to ldquocallrdquo for parts or services ndash by manually pressing a button on the VIEW tag automatically initiating a call via a flow rack switch or ordering parts with a tablet ndash and immediately receiving a response via a ldquocall sentrdquo message right on the tag The handler receives the message directly the delivery is then scheduled and an instruction is sent to the VIEW tag that the order has been picked Manager dashboards provide the visibility into calls picks and deliveries to ensure efficiency and opportunities for process improvement
Asset Tracking Find gt Count gt MeasureThe Panasonic Logiscend Asset Tracking Application is the smartest way for high-volume manufacturers to track count and record the status of assets access their history and flag them for repair and renewal This intelligent customizable industrial IoT solution eliminates manual inventory management costs tracks assets in real-time and generates reports for documentation and compliance
Work Instructions Instruct gt Route gt RecordEfficient process workflows are the key to ensuring a seamless operation The Logiscend Work Instructions Application provides the ability to send the appropriate instruction to a monitor in the work zone on the factory floor to instruct operators automatically what to build and how to build it ndash ensuring the correct instruction is always provided at the right workstation The Logiscend Work Instructions Application also provides the ability to send new instructions when issues arise or there is a change in production build
Smart Container Schedule gt Track gt OptimizeAs factories increasingly are being asked to respond in real time to more and more product options and customized product variations from consumers static paper labels guiding materials through the extended supply chain are unable to keep up Smart containers that can be tracked and redirected to respond automatically to this complexity telling operators what to do next are the answer The Logiscend solution provides an exponential leap forward in gaining full process control in our new connected world with self-directed ldquosmart containersrdquo Yoursquoll never lose another container or be short of crucial material again
More than 80 of errors are typically eliminated when visual instructions are present
gt20 of containers are reported lost annually costing companies millions of dollars

Panasonic Logiscend Pick Application A Pick-to-Tag wireless Pick solution
Definition PickingPicking is the act of gathering materials on the manufacturing
floor or in a warehouse with pickers performing an action like
assembling kits to grouping parts re-working preparing for
fulfillment or shipping Picking can be set up as a supermarket
or as a lineside activity
Brief history of pickingTraditionally picking actions were transmitted via paper instructions Every bin was identified with a paper label Paper travelers listed the pick jobs the parts and part quantities for each kit As time moves forward Pick-to-Paper systems are being replaced with solutions that are more agile more accurate more productive and more flexible The Panasonic Logiscend System is an Industry 40 solution for picking that not only streamlines the picking activity but also provides realtime data that can be incorporated into analytics for continuous improvement of the materials flow process within your facility
How Pick-to-Tag worksPick-to-Tag connects your warehouse supermarket or lineside with a wireless environment and replaces your current system (usually Pick-to-Paper or Pick-to-Light) with electronic RFIDe-paper tags The tags provide the visual instructions to your pickers with the same impact as paper without the cost and logistical disadvantages Once installed Pick-to-Tag is intuitive to use so it requires minimal training Communication to the Tags is 2-way and instantaneous When pickers complete a task yoursquoll know in real time
Reconfigure in 2 hours or lessShould you need to reconfigure your picking location to accommodate a just-in-time order or a just-in-sequence order you can accomplish this in a couple of hours or less Even if your reconfiguration is radical - for example from a supermarket to a lineside operation - you can handle it in an hour or two Thanks Panasonic IIoT
What are the most common systems for picking Pick-to-Paper is still the most common system with paper pick lists paper labels paper instructions Organizations that switch away from paper tell us that they were surprised to discover how much the paper and printing supporting their paper-based system actually cost Compared to a wireless solution paper is slower less accurate less flexible and less green
If you canrsquot reconfigure your warehouse supermarket or lineside pick in two hours be advised your competition can
Panasonic Logiscend material flow management systemA proven IIoT material solution where pick is just the beginning
Your customers are saying
I want it my way I want it now and I want it perfect
If this demand is familiar talk to us We heard it ten years ago We developed a solution We can help you transform your factories with the same IIoT materials flow processes we are using in our own plants Our technology integrates beautifully with your MESERP system Wersquoll set it up for you or you can do it yourself ndash the APIs are open source

This Panasonic VIEW Tag is at the heart of our IIoT Pick solution Itrsquos amazing technology
This tag comes in many forms and sizes from a small tag that attaches to a bin to a large tablet-sized tag that can present a complete set of instructions to an operator The Panasonic tag presents information as e-paper is capable of inverting to flag an action that needs to be taken updates the server instantaneously via the wireless gateway and can (equally instantaneously) be updated by an authorized operator
The Panasonic tag is equipped with a long-life battery designed to last 3-5 years After that period of time we replace it with updated tags equipped with our latest technology and a fresh battery
VIEW 3 Tag would go on a bin showing the picker what to do next When the picker finishes the pick she presses the button on the tag
VIEW 4 Tag is a license-plate tag that fits on a cart or container providing information on contents as well as instructions such as where it goes next
VIEW 7 Tag provides real-time electronic work instructions that communicate to an operator what to build and how to build it

Logiscend is designed to manage complex material flow applications while simply integrating with your existing processes and MES systems The Logiscend system collects the location and status information by individual container providing the factory floor visibility necessary to automate or re-direct workflows in real-time
Solving the most common cause of factory inefficiencyWe have worked with factories all over the world and found that the 1 problem impacting their output is the same ndash material flow management Machine uptime defective materials operator skilltraining or resource scheduling arenrsquot the biggest issues Itrsquos simply ldquogetting the right parts to the right place at the right time Logiscend was designed with this in mind
Too often the result is chaos on the factory floor by late afternoon Logiscend is the solution to those issues and more
bull Does production regularly come to a near-standstill as issues inevitably pile up
bull Do you often reassignreschedule routes for work in process
bull Do you manually track down containers to apply new instructions
bull Is managing the count sequence or status of your WIP inventory a challenge because itrsquos manual
bull Do you have teams of ldquorunners that are sent out to the floor to find specific containers for a job or inspection
ENTERPRISE VISUALIZATION
amp CONTROLLogiscend is a fully integrated system that includes all of the hardware and software you need to ensure complete end-to-end process visibility seamlessly fitting into your existing process The differentiating products are the visual display tags These display tags directly replace paper labels with wirelessly connected e-paper displays in a variety of sizes As with paper labels operators can see right on the container or assembly all handling instructions Unlike paper labels these visual tags and the assets on which they are placed can be tracked as they flow through the factory in real-time The Logiscend difference the displayed instruction can be changed at any time from anywhere as conditions merit Donrsquot just collect information ndash give workers the ability to act on it immediately
How Logiscend Works
Pick Locate gt Select gt RouteGetting the right parts to the right place at the right time in any factory starts with ensuring an accurate picking or kitting of those parts from the warehouse supermarket or line-side location Paper-based processes are highly error-prone and inefficient when it comes to ensuring the correct parts are located and selected manually by operators Wired Pick to Light systems are costly to install and difficult to reconfigure The Logiscend Pick Application ensures a cost-effective accurate and efficient process by providing visual cues and instruction for operators for each job with a wireless VIEW Tag on each bin rack or shelf
Replenishment Call gt Pick gt DeliverParts replenishment is a key function in any manufacturing operation The Logiscend Replenishment Application allows an operator to ldquocallrdquo for parts or services ndash by manually pressing a button on the VIEW tag automatically initiating a call via a flow rack switch or ordering parts with a tablet ndash and immediately receiving a response via a ldquocall sentrdquo message right on the tag The handler receives the message directly the delivery is then scheduled and an instruction is sent to the VIEW tag that the order has been picked Manager dashboards provide the visibility into calls picks and deliveries to ensure efficiency and opportunities for process improvement
Asset Tracking Find gt Count gt MeasureThe Panasonic Logiscend Asset Tracking Application is the smartest way for high-volume manufacturers to track count and record the status of assets access their history and flag them for repair and renewal This intelligent customizable industrial IoT solution eliminates manual inventory management costs tracks assets in real-time and generates reports for documentation and compliance
Work Instructions Instruct gt Route gt RecordEfficient process workflows are the key to ensuring a seamless operation The Logiscend Work Instructions Application provides the ability to send the appropriate instruction to a monitor in the work zone on the factory floor to instruct operators automatically what to build and how to build it ndash ensuring the correct instruction is always provided at the right workstation The Logiscend Work Instructions Application also provides the ability to send new instructions when issues arise or there is a change in production build
Smart Container Schedule gt Track gt OptimizeAs factories increasingly are being asked to respond in real time to more and more product options and customized product variations from consumers static paper labels guiding materials through the extended supply chain are unable to keep up Smart containers that can be tracked and redirected to respond automatically to this complexity telling operators what to do next are the answer The Logiscend solution provides an exponential leap forward in gaining full process control in our new connected world with self-directed ldquosmart containersrdquo Yoursquoll never lose another container or be short of crucial material again
More than 80 of errors are typically eliminated when visual instructions are present
gt20 of containers are reported lost annually costing companies millions of dollars
It was much easier than I thought to convert to the Panasonic Logiscend IIoT pick module Once the server and gateway were in place we reconfigured one warehouse picking site in a couple of hours and immediately pickers learned the system and were outperforming their previous efforts In the first week we learned more about the strengths and weaknesses of our Pick process than we ever knew We never looked back

CUSTOMER SUCCESS STORY Pick
Continued rsaquo
IntroductionTo thrive and grow as a Tier 1 global manufacturer of auto seating systems and components requires precision production hellip and very quick turnaround times
To support the need for time and material precision one of the most critical parts of the process is ensuring the right parts are picked kitted and delivered to the assembly line for production Historically this process had been managed by paper lists and pick tickets mdash inefficient and prone to manual error This manufacturer was looking to automate the process with a visual RFID system (Logiscend)
There were five primary goals for the project
To get started the manufacturerrsquos Center of Excellence team researched RFID applications for multiple different development projects The team came directly to us for a solution to tracking incoming materials and containers Ultimately we engaged as both the consultant and systems integrator

How Logiscend Works
Pick Locate gt Select gt RouteGetting the right parts to the right place at the right time in any factory starts with ensuring an accurate picking or kitting of those parts from the warehouse supermarket or line-side location Paper-based processes are highly error-prone and inefficient when it comes to ensuring the correct parts are located and selected manually by operators Wired Pick to Light systems are costly to install and difficult to reconfigure The Logiscend Pick Application ensures a cost-effective accurate and efficient process by providing visual cues and instruction for operators for each job with a wireless VIEW Tag on each bin rack or shelf
Replenishment Call gt Pick gt DeliverParts replenishment is a key function in any manufacturing operation The Logiscend Replenishment Application allows an operator to ldquocallrdquo for parts or services ndash by manually pressing a button on the VIEW tag automatically initiating a call via a flow rack switch or ordering parts with a tablet ndash and immediately receiving a response via a ldquocall sentrdquo message right on the tag The handler receives the message directly the delivery is then scheduled and an instruction is sent to the VIEW tag that the order has been picked Manager dashboards provide the visibility into calls picks and deliveries to ensure efficiency and opportunities for process improvement
Asset Tracking Find gt Count gt MeasureThe Panasonic Logiscend Asset Tracking Application is the smartest way for high-volume manufacturers to track count and record the status of assets access their history and flag them for repair and renewal This intelligent customizable industrial IoT solution eliminates manual inventory management costs tracks assets in real-time and generates reports for documentation and compliance
Work Instructions Instruct gt Route gt RecordEfficient process workflows are the key to ensuring a seamless operation The Logiscend Work Instructions Application provides the ability to send the appropriate instruction to a monitor in the work zone on the factory floor to instruct operators automatically what to build and how to build it ndash ensuring the correct instruction is always provided at the right workstation The Logiscend Work Instructions Application also provides the ability to send new instructions when issues arise or there is a change in production build
Smart Container Schedule gt Track gt OptimizeAs factories increasingly are being asked to respond in real time to more and more product options and customized product variations from consumers static paper labels guiding materials through the extended supply chain are unable to keep up Smart containers that can be tracked and redirected to respond automatically to this complexity telling operators what to do next are the answer The Logiscend solution provides an exponential leap forward in gaining full process control in our new connected world with self-directed ldquosmart containersrdquo Yoursquoll never lose another container or be short of crucial material again
More than 80 of errors are typically eliminated when visual instructions are present

In 2011 The Fourth Industrial Revolution ndash Industry 40 ndash was launched as a concept at the Hanover Fair Germany This was the beginning of the evolution of manufacturing to take advantage of the Industrial Internet of Things Today every aspect of manufacturingrsquos 5 ldquoMsrdquo ndash Machines Materials Method Man (labor) Measurement and Mother Nature (environment) ndash has been impacted The Panasonic Logiscend System is integrated with all of these important concepts but we are focused on material flow management
A decade ago at the same time as Industry 40 was presented in Germany Panasonicrsquos IIoT Solutions began to develop the worldrsquos most comprehensive IIoT solution for complex material flow process management the Panasonic Logiscend System This system allows you to configure and reconfigure your pick setup in warehouse or at lineside automatically replenish your parts identify tag and locate every part in your process identify tag and locate critical tools and assets in your plant and turn every container into a smart container that you can locate and track anywhere on the planet
Panasonicrsquos view of the future of material flow management Integrating with the 5 Ms of the Fourth Industrial Revolution
We have come a long way toward revolutionizing the way material is managed in manufacturing around the world We plan to go even further Our Panasonic Logiscend System new rules engine is the basis of an AI engine that will help us optimize material routes and help become better integrated with Method Man Machine and Measurement
The integration can impact every level of plant operation - from the picker on the warehouse floor to the materials supervisor to the plant manager and even to the C-suite The Pansonic vision ties into the digital thread and leads to continuous improvement smarter machine maintenance optimized laborrobotics deployment more efficient design
We are currently exploring the impact of new technologies like 5G vision sensors and more While we are focused on materials our parent company Panasonic - and many of our sister companies - are also exploring new ways for manufacturing to move forward with Industry 40

Industry 40 and the IIoT are the (inevitable) future
IIoT has evolved Sophistication has increased while costs have been reduced Data storage is less costly Wi-Fi servers are more powerful and smaller sensors are smaller and more sophisticated e-paper has the same visual impact as paper without the cost
Our typical client pays for their IIoT system in 9 months or less
Drivers for change to an Industry 40IIoT solution
bull Customers demand faster turnaround and more
customized ordering capability in order to meet
Just-In-Time and Just-In-Sequence orders
bull Plant management wants more information from the
material flow process
bull Operations wants a higher degree of accuracy in picking
and kitting
bull Your parent (or sister) company is investigating other
industry 40 IIoT technology that requires integrated data
from the supply chain
bull The plant manager is committed to reducing their
carbon footprint by 2025 and is looking at paper
consumption waste and disposal
Scope of this Pick eBook
This eBook will describe our pick process called Pick-to-Tag one of five modules in our materials flow solution that will handle your materials as you transform your plant to become

Panasonic Logiscend Pick Application A Pick-to-Tag wireless Pick solution
Definition PickingPicking is the act of gathering materials on the manufacturing
floor or in a warehouse with pickers performing an action like
assembling kits to grouping parts re-working preparing for
fulfillment or shipping Picking can be set up as a supermarket
or as a lineside activity
Brief history of pickingTraditionally picking actions were transmitted via paper instructions Every bin was identified with a paper label Paper travelers listed the pick jobs the parts and part quantities for each kit As time moves forward Pick-to-Paper systems are being replaced with solutions that are more agile more accurate more productive and more flexible The Panasonic Logiscend System is an Industry 40 solution for picking that not only streamlines the picking activity but also provides realtime data that can be incorporated into analytics for continuous improvement of the materials flow process within your facility
How Pick-to-Tag worksPick-to-Tag connects your warehouse supermarket or lineside with a wireless environment and replaces your current system (usually Pick-to-Paper or Pick-to-Light) with electronic RFIDe-paper tags The tags provide the visual instructions to your pickers with the same impact as paper without the cost and logistical disadvantages Once installed Pick-to-Tag is intuitive to use so it requires minimal training Communication to the Tags is 2-way and instantaneous When pickers complete a task yoursquoll know in real time
Reconfigure in 2 hours or lessShould you need to reconfigure your picking location to accommodate a just-in-time order or a just-in-sequence order you can accomplish this in a couple of hours or less Even if your reconfiguration is radical - for example from a supermarket to a lineside operation - you can handle it in an hour or two Thanks Panasonic IIoT
What are the most common systems for picking Pick-to-Paper is still the most common system with paper pick lists paper labels paper instructions Organizations that switch away from paper tell us that they were surprised to discover how much the paper and printing supporting their paper-based system actually cost Compared to a wireless solution paper is slower less accurate less flexible and less green
If you canrsquot reconfigure your warehouse supermarket or lineside pick in two hours be advised your competition can
Panasonic Logiscend material flow management systemA proven IIoT material solution where pick is just the beginning
Your customers are saying
I want it my way I want it now and I want it perfect
If this demand is familiar talk to us We heard it ten years ago We developed a solution We can help you transform your factories with the same IIoT materials flow processes we are using in our own plants Our technology integrates beautifully with your MESERP system Wersquoll set it up for you or you can do it yourself ndash the APIs are open source

Logiscend is designed to manage complex material flow applications while simply integrating with your existing processes and MES systems The Logiscend system collects the location and status information by individual container providing the factory floor visibility necessary to automate or re-direct workflows in real-time
Solving the most common cause of factory inefficiencyWe have worked with factories all over the world and found that the 1 problem impacting their output is the same ndash material flow management Machine uptime defective materials operator skilltraining or resource scheduling arenrsquot the biggest issues Itrsquos simply ldquogetting the right parts to the right place at the right time Logiscend was designed with this in mind
Too often the result is chaos on the factory floor by late afternoon Logiscend is the solution to those issues and more
bull Does production regularly come to a near-standstill as issues inevitably pile up
bull Do you often reassignreschedule routes for work in process
bull Do you manually track down containers to apply new instructions
bull Is managing the count sequence or status of your WIP inventory a challenge because itrsquos manual
bull Do you have teams of ldquorunners that are sent out to the floor to find specific containers for a job or inspection
ENTERPRISE VISUALIZATION
amp CONTROLLogiscend is a fully integrated system that includes all of the hardware and software you need to ensure complete end-to-end process visibility seamlessly fitting into your existing process The differentiating products are the visual display tags These display tags directly replace paper labels with wirelessly connected e-paper displays in a variety of sizes As with paper labels operators can see right on the container or assembly all handling instructions Unlike paper labels these visual tags and the assets on which they are placed can be tracked as they flow through the factory in real-time The Logiscend difference the displayed instruction can be changed at any time from anywhere as conditions merit Donrsquot just collect information ndash give workers the ability to act on it immediately
How Logiscend Works
Pick Locate gt Select gt RouteGetting the right parts to the right place at the right time in any factory starts with ensuring an accurate picking or kitting of those parts from the warehouse supermarket or line-side location Paper-based processes are highly error-prone and inefficient when it comes to ensuring the correct parts are located and selected manually by operators Wired Pick to Light systems are costly to install and difficult to reconfigure The Logiscend Pick Application ensures a cost-effective accurate and efficient process by providing visual cues and instruction for operators for each job with a wireless VIEW Tag on each bin rack or shelf
Replenishment Call gt Pick gt DeliverParts replenishment is a key function in any manufacturing operation The Logiscend Replenishment Application allows an operator to ldquocallrdquo for parts or services ndash by manually pressing a button on the VIEW tag automatically initiating a call via a flow rack switch or ordering parts with a tablet ndash and immediately receiving a response via a ldquocall sentrdquo message right on the tag The handler receives the message directly the delivery is then scheduled and an instruction is sent to the VIEW tag that the order has been picked Manager dashboards provide the visibility into calls picks and deliveries to ensure efficiency and opportunities for process improvement
Asset Tracking Find gt Count gt MeasureThe Panasonic Logiscend Asset Tracking Application is the smartest way for high-volume manufacturers to track count and record the status of assets access their history and flag them for repair and renewal This intelligent customizable industrial IoT solution eliminates manual inventory management costs tracks assets in real-time and generates reports for documentation and compliance
Work Instructions Instruct gt Route gt RecordEfficient process workflows are the key to ensuring a seamless operation The Logiscend Work Instructions Application provides the ability to send the appropriate instruction to a monitor in the work zone on the factory floor to instruct operators automatically what to build and how to build it ndash ensuring the correct instruction is always provided at the right workstation The Logiscend Work Instructions Application also provides the ability to send new instructions when issues arise or there is a change in production build
Smart Container Schedule gt Track gt OptimizeAs factories increasingly are being asked to respond in real time to more and more product options and customized product variations from consumers static paper labels guiding materials through the extended supply chain are unable to keep up Smart containers that can be tracked and redirected to respond automatically to this complexity telling operators what to do next are the answer The Logiscend solution provides an exponential leap forward in gaining full process control in our new connected world with self-directed ldquosmart containersrdquo Yoursquoll never lose another container or be short of crucial material again
More than 80 of errors are typically eliminated when visual instructions are present
gt20 of containers are reported lost annually costing companies millions of dollars
It was much easier than I thought to convert to the Panasonic Logiscend IIoT pick module Once the server and gateway were in place we reconfigured one warehouse picking site in a couple of hours and immediately pickers learned the system and were outperforming their previous efforts In the first week we learned more about the strengths and weaknesses of our Pick process than we ever knew We never looked back

Logiscend is designed to manage complex material flow applications while simply integrating with your existing processes and MES systems The Logiscend system collects the location and status information by individual container providing the factory floor visibility necessary to automate or re-direct workflows in real-time
Solving the most common cause of factory inefficiencyWe have worked with factories all over the world and found that the 1 problem impacting their output is the same ndash material flow management Machine uptime defective materials operator skilltraining or resource scheduling arenrsquot the biggest issues Itrsquos simply ldquogetting the right parts to the right place at the right time Logiscend was designed with this in mind
Too often the result is chaos on the factory floor by late afternoon Logiscend is the solution to those issues and more

ENTERPRISE VISUALIZATION
amp CONTROLLogiscend is a fully integrated system that includes all of the hardware and software you need to ensure complete end-to-end process visibility seamlessly fitting into your existing process The differentiating products are the visual display tags These display tags directly replace paper labels with wirelessly connected e-paper displays in a variety of sizes As with paper labels operators can see right on the container or assembly all handling instructions Unlike paper labels these visual tags and the assets on which they are placed can be tracked as they flow through the factory in real-time The Logiscend difference the displayed instruction can be changed at any time from anywhere as conditions merit Donrsquot just collect information ndash give workers the ability to act on it immediately
How Logiscend Works
Pick Locate gt Select gt RouteGetting the right parts to the right place at the right time in any factory starts with ensuring an accurate picking or kitting of those parts from the warehouse supermarket or line-side location Paper-based processes are highly error-prone and inefficient when it comes to ensuring the correct parts are located and selected manually by operators Wired Pick to Light systems are costly to install and difficult to reconfigure The Logiscend Pick Application ensures a cost-effective accurate and efficient process by providing visual cues and instruction for operators for each job with a wireless VIEW Tag on each bin rack or shelf
Replenishment Call gt Pick gt DeliverParts replenishment is a key function in any manufacturing operation The Logiscend Replenishment Application allows an operator to ldquocallrdquo for parts or services ndash by manually pressing a button on the VIEW tag automatically initiating a call via a flow rack switch or ordering parts with a tablet ndash and immediately receiving a response via a ldquocall sentrdquo message right on the tag The handler receives the message directly the delivery is then scheduled and an instruction is sent to the VIEW tag that the order has been picked Manager dashboards provide the visibility into calls picks and deliveries to ensure efficiency and opportunities for process improvement
Asset Tracking Find gt Count gt MeasureThe Panasonic Logiscend Asset Tracking Application is the smartest way for high-volume manufacturers to track count and record the status of assets access their history and flag them for repair and renewal This intelligent customizable industrial IoT solution eliminates manual inventory management costs tracks assets in real-time and generates reports for documentation and compliance
Work Instructions Instruct gt Route gt RecordEfficient process workflows are the key to ensuring a seamless operation The Logiscend Work Instructions Application provides the ability to send the appropriate instruction to a monitor in the work zone on the factory floor to instruct operators automatically what to build and how to build it ndash ensuring the correct instruction is always provided at the right workstation The Logiscend Work Instructions Application also provides the ability to send new instructions when issues arise or there is a change in production build
Smart Container Schedule gt Track gt OptimizeAs factories increasingly are being asked to respond in real time to more and more product options and customized product variations from consumers static paper labels guiding materials through the extended supply chain are unable to keep up Smart containers that can be tracked and redirected to respond automatically to this complexity telling operators what to do next are the answer The Logiscend solution provides an exponential leap forward in gaining full process control in our new connected world with self-directed ldquosmart containersrdquo Yoursquoll never lose another container or be short of crucial material again
More than 80 of errors are typically eliminated when visual instructions are present
gt20 of containers are reported lost annually costing companies millions of dollars
Auto supplier eliminates paper cuts labor in half and training time by 90 using Logiscendrsquos Pick Application Module

IntroductionTo thrive and grow as a Tier 1 global manufacturer of auto seating systems and components requires precision production hellip and very quick turnaround times
To support the need for time and material precision one of the most critical parts of the process is ensuring the right parts are picked kitted and delivered to the assembly line for production Historically this process had been managed by paper lists and pick tickets mdash inefficient and prone to manual error This manufacturer was looking to automate the process with a visual RFID system (Logiscend)
There were five primary goals for the project
To get started the manufacturerrsquos Center of Excellence team researched RFID applications for multiple different development projects The team came directly to us for a solution to tracking incoming materials and containers Ultimately we engaged as both the consultant and systems integrator

ENTERPRISE VISUALIZATION
amp CONTROLLogiscend is a fully integrated system that includes all of the hardware and software you need to ensure complete end-to-end process visibility seamlessly fitting into your existing process The differentiating products are the visual display tags These display tags directly replace paper labels with wirelessly connected e-paper displays in a variety of sizes As with paper labels operators can see right on the container or assembly all handling instructions Unlike paper labels these visual tags and the assets on which they are placed can be tracked as they flow through the factory in real-time The Logiscend difference the displayed instruction can be changed at any time from anywhere as conditions merit Donrsquot just collect information ndash give workers the ability to act on it immediately
How Logiscend Works
Pick Locate gt Select gt RouteGetting the right parts to the right place at the right time in any factory starts with ensuring an accurate picking or kitting of those parts from the warehouse supermarket or line-side location Paper-based processes are highly error-prone and inefficient when it comes to ensuring the correct parts are located and selected manually by operators Wired Pick to Light systems are costly to install and difficult to reconfigure The Logiscend Pick Application ensures a cost-effective accurate and efficient process by providing visual cues and instruction for operators for each job with a wireless VIEW Tag on each bin rack or shelf
Replenishment Call gt Pick gt DeliverParts replenishment is a key function in any manufacturing operation The Logiscend Replenishment Application allows an operator to ldquocallrdquo for parts or services ndash by manually pressing a button on the VIEW tag automatically initiating a call via a flow rack switch or ordering parts with a tablet ndash and immediately receiving a response via a ldquocall sentrdquo message right on the tag The handler receives the message directly the delivery is then scheduled and an instruction is sent to the VIEW tag that the order has been picked Manager dashboards provide the visibility into calls picks and deliveries to ensure efficiency and opportunities for process improvement
Asset Tracking Find gt Count gt MeasureThe Panasonic Logiscend Asset Tracking Application is the smartest way for high-volume manufacturers to track count and record the status of assets access their history and flag them for repair and renewal This intelligent customizable industrial IoT solution eliminates manual inventory management costs tracks assets in real-time and generates reports for documentation and compliance
Work Instructions Instruct gt Route gt RecordEfficient process workflows are the key to ensuring a seamless operation The Logiscend Work Instructions Application provides the ability to send the appropriate instruction to a monitor in the work zone on the factory floor to instruct operators automatically what to build and how to build it ndash ensuring the correct instruction is always provided at the right workstation The Logiscend Work Instructions Application also provides the ability to send new instructions when issues arise or there is a change in production build
Smart Container Schedule gt Track gt OptimizeAs factories increasingly are being asked to respond in real time to more and more product options and customized product variations from consumers static paper labels guiding materials through the extended supply chain are unable to keep up Smart containers that can be tracked and redirected to respond automatically to this complexity telling operators what to do next are the answer The Logiscend solution provides an exponential leap forward in gaining full process control in our new connected world with self-directed ldquosmart containersrdquo Yoursquoll never lose another container or be short of crucial material again

Industry 40 and the IIoT are the (inevitable) future
IIoT has evolved Sophistication has increased while costs have been reduced Data storage is less costly Wi-Fi servers are more powerful and smaller sensors are smaller and more sophisticated e-paper has the same visual impact as paper without the cost
Our typical client pays for their IIoT system in 9 months or less
Drivers for change to an Industry 40IIoT solution
bull Customers demand faster turnaround and more
customized ordering capability in order to meet
Just-In-Time and Just-In-Sequence orders
bull Plant management wants more information from the
material flow process
bull Operations wants a higher degree of accuracy in picking
and kitting
bull Your parent (or sister) company is investigating other
industry 40 IIoT technology that requires integrated data
from the supply chain
bull The plant manager is committed to reducing their
carbon footprint by 2025 and is looking at paper
consumption waste and disposal
Scope of this Pick eBook
This eBook will describe our pick process called Pick-to-Tag one of five modules in our materials flow solution that will handle your materials as you transform your plant to become
More efficient
More productive
More accurate
More transparent
Greener
More profitable
And better integrated with your other manufacturing and market-ing systems

Panasonic Logiscend Pick Application A Pick-to-Tag wireless Pick solution
Definition PickingPicking is the act of gathering materials on the manufacturing
floor or in a warehouse with pickers performing an action like
assembling kits to grouping parts re-working preparing for
fulfillment or shipping Picking can be set up as a supermarket
or as a lineside activity
Brief history of pickingTraditionally picking actions were transmitted via paper instructions Every bin was identified with a paper label Paper travelers listed the pick jobs the parts and part quantities for each kit As time moves forward Pick-to-Paper systems are being replaced with solutions that are more agile more accurate more productive and more flexible The Panasonic Logiscend System is an Industry 40 solution for picking that not only streamlines the picking activity but also provides realtime data that can be incorporated into analytics for continuous improvement of the materials flow process within your facility
How Pick-to-Tag worksPick-to-Tag connects your warehouse supermarket or lineside with a wireless environment and replaces your current system (usually Pick-to-Paper or Pick-to-Light) with electronic RFIDe-paper tags The tags provide the visual instructions to your pickers with the same impact as paper without the cost and logistical disadvantages Once installed Pick-to-Tag is intuitive to use so it requires minimal training Communication to the Tags is 2-way and instantaneous When pickers complete a task yoursquoll know in real time
Reconfigure in 2 hours or lessShould you need to reconfigure your picking location to accommodate a just-in-time order or a just-in-sequence order you can accomplish this in a couple of hours or less Even if your reconfiguration is radical - for example from a supermarket to a lineside operation - you can handle it in an hour or two Thanks Panasonic IIoT
What are the most common systems for picking Pick-to-Paper is still the most common system with paper pick lists paper labels paper instructions Organizations that switch away from paper tell us that they were surprised to discover how much the paper and printing supporting their paper-based system actually cost Compared to a wireless solution paper is slower less accurate less flexible and less green
If you canrsquot reconfigure your warehouse supermarket or lineside pick in two hours be advised your competition can
Panasonic Logiscend material flow management systemA proven IIoT material solution where pick is just the beginning
Your customers are saying
I want it my way I want it now and I want it perfect
If this demand is familiar talk to us We heard it ten years ago We developed a solution We can help you transform your factories with the same IIoT materials flow processes we are using in our own plants Our technology integrates beautifully with your MESERP system Wersquoll set it up for you or you can do it yourself ndash the APIs are open source

Customization Creates TransformationSeveral customizations were necessary on the software side to accommodate the interfacing to the customers proprietary MES system Like most manufacturers this customer runs multiple workflows so the Logiscend software was able to be modified to accommodate each of these workflows now and in the future
Some hardwarefirmware revisions were also made to support the process modifications optimizing communication And to ensure global standardization adjustments were made to the solution for connectivity and data flow from their MES system in every environment

Logiscend is designed to manage complex material flow applications while simply integrating with your existing processes and MES systems The Logiscend system collects the location and status information by individual container providing the factory floor visibility necessary to automate or re-direct workflows in real-time
Solving the most common cause of factory inefficiencyWe have worked with factories all over the world and found that the 1 problem impacting their output is the same ndash material flow management Machine uptime defective materials operator skilltraining or resource scheduling arenrsquot the biggest issues Itrsquos simply ldquogetting the right parts to the right place at the right time Logiscend was designed with this in mind
Too often the result is chaos on the factory floor by late afternoon Logiscend is the solution to those issues and more
bull Does production regularly come to a near-standstill as issues inevitably pile up
bull Do you often reassignreschedule routes for work in process
bull Do you manually track down containers to apply new instructions
bull Is managing the count sequence or status of your WIP inventory a challenge because itrsquos manual
bull Do you have teams of ldquorunners that are sent out to the floor to find specific containers for a job or inspection
ENTERPRISE VISUALIZATION
amp CONTROLLogiscend is a fully integrated system that includes all of the hardware and software you need to ensure complete end-to-end process visibility seamlessly fitting into your existing process The differentiating products are the visual display tags These display tags directly replace paper labels with wirelessly connected e-paper displays in a variety of sizes As with paper labels operators can see right on the container or assembly all handling instructions Unlike paper labels these visual tags and the assets on which they are placed can be tracked as they flow through the factory in real-time The Logiscend difference the displayed instruction can be changed at any time from anywhere as conditions merit Donrsquot just collect information ndash give workers the ability to act on it immediately
How Logiscend Works
Pick Locate gt Select gt RouteGetting the right parts to the right place at the right time in any factory starts with ensuring an accurate picking or kitting of those parts from the warehouse supermarket or line-side location Paper-based processes are highly error-prone and inefficient when it comes to ensuring the correct parts are located and selected manually by operators Wired Pick to Light systems are costly to install and difficult to reconfigure The Logiscend Pick Application ensures a cost-effective accurate and efficient process by providing visual cues and instruction for operators for each job with a wireless VIEW Tag on each bin rack or shelf
Replenishment Call gt Pick gt DeliverParts replenishment is a key function in any manufacturing operation The Logiscend Replenishment Application allows an operator to ldquocallrdquo for parts or services ndash by manually pressing a button on the VIEW tag automatically initiating a call via a flow rack switch or ordering parts with a tablet ndash and immediately receiving a response via a ldquocall sentrdquo message right on the tag The handler receives the message directly the delivery is then scheduled and an instruction is sent to the VIEW tag that the order has been picked Manager dashboards provide the visibility into calls picks and deliveries to ensure efficiency and opportunities for process improvement
Asset Tracking Find gt Count gt MeasureThe Panasonic Logiscend Asset Tracking Application is the smartest way for high-volume manufacturers to track count and record the status of assets access their history and flag them for repair and renewal This intelligent customizable industrial IoT solution eliminates manual inventory management costs tracks assets in real-time and generates reports for documentation and compliance
Work Instructions Instruct gt Route gt RecordEfficient process workflows are the key to ensuring a seamless operation The Logiscend Work Instructions Application provides the ability to send the appropriate instruction to a monitor in the work zone on the factory floor to instruct operators automatically what to build and how to build it ndash ensuring the correct instruction is always provided at the right workstation The Logiscend Work Instructions Application also provides the ability to send new instructions when issues arise or there is a change in production build
Smart Container Schedule gt Track gt OptimizeAs factories increasingly are being asked to respond in real time to more and more product options and customized product variations from consumers static paper labels guiding materials through the extended supply chain are unable to keep up Smart containers that can be tracked and redirected to respond automatically to this complexity telling operators what to do next are the answer The Logiscend solution provides an exponential leap forward in gaining full process control in our new connected world with self-directed ldquosmart containersrdquo Yoursquoll never lose another container or be short of crucial material again
More than 80 of errors are typically eliminated when visual instructions are present
gt20 of containers are reported lost annually costing companies millions of dollars
It was much easier than I thought to convert to the Panasonic Logiscend IIoT pick module Once the server and gateway were in place we reconfigured one warehouse picking site in a couple of hours and immediately pickers learned the system and were outperforming their previous efforts In the first week we learned more about the strengths and weaknesses of our Pick process than we ever knew We never looked back

Logiscend is designed to manage complex material flow applications while simply integrating with your existing processes and MES systems The Logiscend system collects the location and status information by individual container providing the factory floor visibility necessary to automate or re-direct workflows in real-time
Solving the most common cause of factory inefficiencyWe have worked with factories all over the world and found that the 1 problem impacting their output is the same ndash material flow management Machine uptime defective materials operator skilltraining or resource scheduling arenrsquot the biggest issues Itrsquos simply ldquogetting the right parts to the right place at the right time Logiscend was designed with this in mind
Too often the result is chaos on the factory floor by late afternoon Logiscend is the solution to those issues and more
bull Does production regularly come to a near-standstill as issues inevitably pile up
bull Do you often reassignreschedule routes for work in process
bull Do you manually track down containers to apply new instructions
bull Is managing the count sequence or status of your WIP inventory a challenge because itrsquos manual
bull Do you have teams of ldquorunners that are sent out to the floor to find specific containers for a job or inspection
ENTERPRISE VISUALIZATION
amp CONTROLLogiscend is a fully integrated system that includes all of the hardware and software you need to ensure complete end-to-end process visibility seamlessly fitting into your existing process The differentiating products are the visual display tags These display tags directly replace paper labels with wirelessly connected e-paper displays in a variety of sizes As with paper labels operators can see right on the container or assembly all handling instructions Unlike paper labels these visual tags and the assets on which they are placed can be tracked as they flow through the factory in real-time The Logiscend difference the displayed instruction can be changed at any time from anywhere as conditions merit Donrsquot just collect information ndash give workers the ability to act on it immediately
How Logiscend Works
Pick Locate gt Select gt RouteGetting the right parts to the right place at the right time in any factory starts with ensuring an accurate picking or kitting of those parts from the warehouse supermarket or line-side location Paper-based processes are highly error-prone and inefficient when it comes to ensuring the correct parts are located and selected manually by operators Wired Pick to Light systems are costly to install and difficult to reconfigure The Logiscend Pick Application ensures a cost-effective accurate and efficient process by providing visual cues and instruction for operators for each job with a wireless VIEW Tag on each bin rack or shelf
Replenishment Call gt Pick gt DeliverParts replenishment is a key function in any manufacturing operation The Logiscend Replenishment Application allows an operator to ldquocallrdquo for parts or services ndash by manually pressing a button on the VIEW tag automatically initiating a call via a flow rack switch or ordering parts with a tablet ndash and immediately receiving a response via a ldquocall sentrdquo message right on the tag The handler receives the message directly the delivery is then scheduled and an instruction is sent to the VIEW tag that the order has been picked Manager dashboards provide the visibility into calls picks and deliveries to ensure efficiency and opportunities for process improvement
Asset Tracking Find gt Count gt MeasureThe Panasonic Logiscend Asset Tracking Application is the smartest way for high-volume manufacturers to track count and record the status of assets access their history and flag them for repair and renewal This intelligent customizable industrial IoT solution eliminates manual inventory management costs tracks assets in real-time and generates reports for documentation and compliance
Work Instructions Instruct gt Route gt RecordEfficient process workflows are the key to ensuring a seamless operation The Logiscend Work Instructions Application provides the ability to send the appropriate instruction to a monitor in the work zone on the factory floor to instruct operators automatically what to build and how to build it ndash ensuring the correct instruction is always provided at the right workstation The Logiscend Work Instructions Application also provides the ability to send new instructions when issues arise or there is a change in production build
Smart Container Schedule gt Track gt OptimizeAs factories increasingly are being asked to respond in real time to more and more product options and customized product variations from consumers static paper labels guiding materials through the extended supply chain are unable to keep up Smart containers that can be tracked and redirected to respond automatically to this complexity telling operators what to do next are the answer The Logiscend solution provides an exponential leap forward in gaining full process control in our new connected world with self-directed ldquosmart containersrdquo Yoursquoll never lose another container or be short of crucial material again
More than 80 of errors are typically eliminated when visual instructions are present
gt20 of containers are reported lost annually costing companies millions of dollars

Panasonic Logiscend Pick Application A Pick-to-Tag wireless Pick solution
Definition PickingPicking is the act of gathering materials on the manufacturing
floor or in a warehouse with pickers performing an action like
assembling kits to grouping parts re-working preparing for
fulfillment or shipping Picking can be set up as a supermarket
or as a lineside activity
Brief history of pickingTraditionally picking actions were transmitted via paper instructions Every bin was identified with a paper label Paper travelers listed the pick jobs the parts and part quantities for each kit As time moves forward Pick-to-Paper systems are being replaced with solutions that are more agile more accurate more productive and more flexible The Panasonic Logiscend System is an Industry 40 solution for picking that not only streamlines the picking activity but also provides realtime data that can be incorporated into analytics for continuous improvement of the materials flow process within your facility
How Pick-to-Tag worksPick-to-Tag connects your warehouse supermarket or lineside with a wireless environment and replaces your current system (usually Pick-to-Paper or Pick-to-Light) with electronic RFIDe-paper tags The tags provide the visual instructions to your pickers with the same impact as paper without the cost and logistical disadvantages Once installed Pick-to-Tag is intuitive to use so it requires minimal training Communication to the Tags is 2-way and instantaneous When pickers complete a task yoursquoll know in real time
Reconfigure in 2 hours or lessShould you need to reconfigure your picking location to accommodate a just-in-time order or a just-in-sequence order you can accomplish this in a couple of hours or less Even if your reconfiguration is radical - for example from a supermarket to a lineside operation - you can handle it in an hour or two Thanks Panasonic IIoT
What are the most common systems for picking Pick-to-Paper is still the most common system with paper pick lists paper labels paper instructions Organizations that switch away from paper tell us that they were surprised to discover how much the paper and printing supporting their paper-based system actually cost Compared to a wireless solution paper is slower less accurate less flexible and less green
If you canrsquot reconfigure your warehouse supermarket or lineside pick in two hours be advised your competition can

Logiscend is designed to manage complex material flow applications while simply integrating with your existing processes and MES systems The Logiscend system collects the location and status information by individual container providing the factory floor visibility necessary to automate or re-direct workflows in real-time
Solving the most common cause of factory inefficiencyWe have worked with factories all over the world and found that the 1 problem impacting their output is the same ndash material flow management Machine uptime defective materials operator skilltraining or resource scheduling arenrsquot the biggest issues Itrsquos simply ldquogetting the right parts to the right place at the right time Logiscend was designed with this in mind
Too often the result is chaos on the factory floor by late afternoon Logiscend is the solution to those issues and more
bull Does production regularly come to a near-standstill as issues inevitably pile up
bull Do you often reassignreschedule routes for work in process
bull Do you manually track down containers to apply new instructions
bull Is managing the count sequence or status of your WIP inventory a challenge because itrsquos manual
bull Do you have teams of ldquorunners that are sent out to the floor to find specific containers for a job or inspection
ENTERPRISE VISUALIZATION
amp CONTROLLogiscend is a fully integrated system that includes all of the hardware and software you need to ensure complete end-to-end process visibility seamlessly fitting into your existing process The differentiating products are the visual display tags These display tags directly replace paper labels with wirelessly connected e-paper displays in a variety of sizes As with paper labels operators can see right on the container or assembly all handling instructions Unlike paper labels these visual tags and the assets on which they are placed can be tracked as they flow through the factory in real-time The Logiscend difference the displayed instruction can be changed at any time from anywhere as conditions merit Donrsquot just collect information ndash give workers the ability to act on it immediately
How Logiscend Works
Pick Locate gt Select gt RouteGetting the right parts to the right place at the right time in any factory starts with ensuring an accurate picking or kitting of those parts from the warehouse supermarket or line-side location Paper-based processes are highly error-prone and inefficient when it comes to ensuring the correct parts are located and selected manually by operators Wired Pick to Light systems are costly to install and difficult to reconfigure The Logiscend Pick Application ensures a cost-effective accurate and efficient process by providing visual cues and instruction for operators for each job with a wireless VIEW Tag on each bin rack or shelf
Replenishment Call gt Pick gt DeliverParts replenishment is a key function in any manufacturing operation The Logiscend Replenishment Application allows an operator to ldquocallrdquo for parts or services ndash by manually pressing a button on the VIEW tag automatically initiating a call via a flow rack switch or ordering parts with a tablet ndash and immediately receiving a response via a ldquocall sentrdquo message right on the tag The handler receives the message directly the delivery is then scheduled and an instruction is sent to the VIEW tag that the order has been picked Manager dashboards provide the visibility into calls picks and deliveries to ensure efficiency and opportunities for process improvement
Asset Tracking Find gt Count gt MeasureThe Panasonic Logiscend Asset Tracking Application is the smartest way for high-volume manufacturers to track count and record the status of assets access their history and flag them for repair and renewal This intelligent customizable industrial IoT solution eliminates manual inventory management costs tracks assets in real-time and generates reports for documentation and compliance
Work Instructions Instruct gt Route gt RecordEfficient process workflows are the key to ensuring a seamless operation The Logiscend Work Instructions Application provides the ability to send the appropriate instruction to a monitor in the work zone on the factory floor to instruct operators automatically what to build and how to build it ndash ensuring the correct instruction is always provided at the right workstation The Logiscend Work Instructions Application also provides the ability to send new instructions when issues arise or there is a change in production build
Smart Container Schedule gt Track gt OptimizeAs factories increasingly are being asked to respond in real time to more and more product options and customized product variations from consumers static paper labels guiding materials through the extended supply chain are unable to keep up Smart containers that can be tracked and redirected to respond automatically to this complexity telling operators what to do next are the answer The Logiscend solution provides an exponential leap forward in gaining full process control in our new connected world with self-directed ldquosmart containersrdquo Yoursquoll never lose another container or be short of crucial material again
More than 80 of errors are typically eliminated when visual instructions are present
gt20 of containers are reported lost annually costing companies millions of dollars
It was much easier than I thought to convert to the Panasonic Logiscend IIoT pick module Once the server and gateway were in place we reconfigured one warehouse picking site in a couple of hours and immediately pickers learned the system and were outperforming their previous efforts In the first week we learned more about the strengths and weaknesses of our Pick process than we ever knew We never looked back

Logiscend is designed to manage complex material flow applications while simply integrating with your existing processes and MES systems The Logiscend system collects the location and status information by individual container providing the factory floor visibility necessary to automate or re-direct workflows in real-time
Solving the most common cause of factory inefficiencyWe have worked with factories all over the world and found that the 1 problem impacting their output is the same ndash material flow management Machine uptime defective materials operator skilltraining or resource scheduling arenrsquot the biggest issues Itrsquos simply ldquogetting the right parts to the right place at the right time Logiscend was designed with this in mind
Too often the result is chaos on the factory floor by late afternoon Logiscend is the solution to those issues and more
bull Does production regularly come to a near-standstill as issues inevitably pile up
bull Do you often reassignreschedule routes for work in process
bull Do you manually track down containers to apply new instructions
bull Is managing the count sequence or status of your WIP inventory a challenge because itrsquos manual
bull Do you have teams of ldquorunners that are sent out to the floor to find specific containers for a job or inspection
ENTERPRISE VISUALIZATION
amp CONTROLLogiscend is a fully integrated system that includes all of the hardware and software you need to ensure complete end-to-end process visibility seamlessly fitting into your existing process The differentiating products are the visual display tags These display tags directly replace paper labels with wirelessly connected e-paper displays in a variety of sizes As with paper labels operators can see right on the container or assembly all handling instructions Unlike paper labels these visual tags and the assets on which they are placed can be tracked as they flow through the factory in real-time The Logiscend difference the displayed instruction can be changed at any time from anywhere as conditions merit Donrsquot just collect information ndash give workers the ability to act on it immediately
How Logiscend Works
Pick Locate gt Select gt RouteGetting the right parts to the right place at the right time in any factory starts with ensuring an accurate picking or kitting of those parts from the warehouse supermarket or line-side location Paper-based processes are highly error-prone and inefficient when it comes to ensuring the correct parts are located and selected manually by operators Wired Pick to Light systems are costly to install and difficult to reconfigure The Logiscend Pick Application ensures a cost-effective accurate and efficient process by providing visual cues and instruction for operators for each job with a wireless VIEW Tag on each bin rack or shelf
Replenishment Call gt Pick gt DeliverParts replenishment is a key function in any manufacturing operation The Logiscend Replenishment Application allows an operator to ldquocallrdquo for parts or services ndash by manually pressing a button on the VIEW tag automatically initiating a call via a flow rack switch or ordering parts with a tablet ndash and immediately receiving a response via a ldquocall sentrdquo message right on the tag The handler receives the message directly the delivery is then scheduled and an instruction is sent to the VIEW tag that the order has been picked Manager dashboards provide the visibility into calls picks and deliveries to ensure efficiency and opportunities for process improvement
Asset Tracking Find gt Count gt MeasureThe Panasonic Logiscend Asset Tracking Application is the smartest way for high-volume manufacturers to track count and record the status of assets access their history and flag them for repair and renewal This intelligent customizable industrial IoT solution eliminates manual inventory management costs tracks assets in real-time and generates reports for documentation and compliance
Work Instructions Instruct gt Route gt RecordEfficient process workflows are the key to ensuring a seamless operation The Logiscend Work Instructions Application provides the ability to send the appropriate instruction to a monitor in the work zone on the factory floor to instruct operators automatically what to build and how to build it ndash ensuring the correct instruction is always provided at the right workstation The Logiscend Work Instructions Application also provides the ability to send new instructions when issues arise or there is a change in production build
Smart Container Schedule gt Track gt OptimizeAs factories increasingly are being asked to respond in real time to more and more product options and customized product variations from consumers static paper labels guiding materials through the extended supply chain are unable to keep up Smart containers that can be tracked and redirected to respond automatically to this complexity telling operators what to do next are the answer The Logiscend solution provides an exponential leap forward in gaining full process control in our new connected world with self-directed ldquosmart containersrdquo Yoursquoll never lose another container or be short of crucial material again
More than 80 of errors are typically eliminated when visual instructions are present
gt20 of containers are reported lost annually costing companies millions of dollars

Panasonic Logiscend Pick Application A Pick-to-Tag wireless Pick solution
Definition PickingPicking is the act of gathering materials on the manufacturing
floor or in a warehouse with pickers performing an action like
assembling kits to grouping parts re-working preparing for
fulfillment or shipping Picking can be set up as a supermarket
or as a lineside activity
Brief history of pickingTraditionally picking actions were transmitted via paper instructions Every bin was identified with a paper label Paper travelers listed the pick jobs the parts and part quantities for each kit As time moves forward Pick-to-Paper systems are being replaced with solutions that are more agile more accurate more productive and more flexible The Panasonic Logiscend System is an Industry 40 solution for picking that not only streamlines the picking activity but also provides realtime data that can be incorporated into analytics for continuous improvement of the materials flow process within your facility
How Pick-to-Tag worksPick-to-Tag connects your warehouse supermarket or lineside with a wireless environment and replaces your current system (usually Pick-to-Paper or Pick-to-Light) with electronic RFIDe-paper tags The tags provide the visual instructions to your pickers with the same impact as paper without the cost and logistical disadvantages Once installed Pick-to-Tag is intuitive to use so it requires minimal training Communication to the Tags is 2-way and instantaneous When pickers complete a task yoursquoll know in real time
Reconfigure in 2 hours or lessShould you need to reconfigure your picking location to accommodate a just-in-time order or a just-in-sequence order you can accomplish this in a couple of hours or less Even if your reconfiguration is radical - for example from a supermarket to a lineside operation - you can handle it in an hour or two Thanks Panasonic IIoT
What are the most common systems for picking Pick-to-Paper is still the most common system with paper pick lists paper labels paper instructions Organizations that switch away from paper tell us that they were surprised to discover how much the paper and printing supporting their paper-based system actually cost Compared to a wireless solution paper is slower less accurate less flexible and less green
If you canrsquot reconfigure your warehouse supermarket or lineside pick in two hours be advised your competition can

Your customers are saying
I want it my way I want it now and I want it perfect
If this demand is familiar talk to us We heard it ten years ago We developed a solution We can help you transform your factories with the same IIoT materials flow processes we are using in our own plants Our technology integrates beautifully with your MESERP system Wersquoll set it up for you or you can do it yourself ndash the APIs are open source

This Panasonic VIEW Tag is at the heart of our IIoT Pick solution Itrsquos amazing technology
This tag comes in many forms and sizes from a small tag that attaches to a bin to a large tablet-sized tag that can present a complete set of instructions to an operator The Panasonic tag presents information as e-paper is capable of inverting to flag an action that needs to be taken updates the server instantaneously via the wireless gateway and can (equally instantaneously) be updated by an authorized operator
The Panasonic tag is equipped with a long-life battery designed to last 3-5 years After that period of time we replace it with updated tags equipped with our latest technology and a fresh battery
VIEW 3 Tag would go on a bin showing the picker what to do next When the picker finishes the pick she presses the button on the tag
VIEW 4 Tag is a license-plate tag that fits on a cart or container providing information on contents as well as instructions such as where it goes next
VIEW 7 Tag provides real-time electronic work instructions that communicate to an operator what to build and how to build it

Logiscend is designed to manage complex material flow applications while simply integrating with your existing processes and MES systems The Logiscend system collects the location and status information by individual container providing the factory floor visibility necessary to automate or re-direct workflows in real-time
Solving the most common cause of factory inefficiencyWe have worked with factories all over the world and found that the 1 problem impacting their output is the same ndash material flow management Machine uptime defective materials operator skilltraining or resource scheduling arenrsquot the biggest issues Itrsquos simply ldquogetting the right parts to the right place at the right time Logiscend was designed with this in mind
Too often the result is chaos on the factory floor by late afternoon Logiscend is the solution to those issues and more
bull Does production regularly come to a near-standstill as issues inevitably pile up
bull Do you often reassignreschedule routes for work in process
bull Do you manually track down containers to apply new instructions
bull Is managing the count sequence or status of your WIP inventory a challenge because itrsquos manual
bull Do you have teams of ldquorunners that are sent out to the floor to find specific containers for a job or inspection
ENTERPRISE VISUALIZATION
amp CONTROLLogiscend is a fully integrated system that includes all of the hardware and software you need to ensure complete end-to-end process visibility seamlessly fitting into your existing process The differentiating products are the visual display tags These display tags directly replace paper labels with wirelessly connected e-paper displays in a variety of sizes As with paper labels operators can see right on the container or assembly all handling instructions Unlike paper labels these visual tags and the assets on which they are placed can be tracked as they flow through the factory in real-time The Logiscend difference the displayed instruction can be changed at any time from anywhere as conditions merit Donrsquot just collect information ndash give workers the ability to act on it immediately
How Logiscend Works
Pick Locate gt Select gt RouteGetting the right parts to the right place at the right time in any factory starts with ensuring an accurate picking or kitting of those parts from the warehouse supermarket or line-side location Paper-based processes are highly error-prone and inefficient when it comes to ensuring the correct parts are located and selected manually by operators Wired Pick to Light systems are costly to install and difficult to reconfigure The Logiscend Pick Application ensures a cost-effective accurate and efficient process by providing visual cues and instruction for operators for each job with a wireless VIEW Tag on each bin rack or shelf
Replenishment Call gt Pick gt DeliverParts replenishment is a key function in any manufacturing operation The Logiscend Replenishment Application allows an operator to ldquocallrdquo for parts or services ndash by manually pressing a button on the VIEW tag automatically initiating a call via a flow rack switch or ordering parts with a tablet ndash and immediately receiving a response via a ldquocall sentrdquo message right on the tag The handler receives the message directly the delivery is then scheduled and an instruction is sent to the VIEW tag that the order has been picked Manager dashboards provide the visibility into calls picks and deliveries to ensure efficiency and opportunities for process improvement
Asset Tracking Find gt Count gt MeasureThe Panasonic Logiscend Asset Tracking Application is the smartest way for high-volume manufacturers to track count and record the status of assets access their history and flag them for repair and renewal This intelligent customizable industrial IoT solution eliminates manual inventory management costs tracks assets in real-time and generates reports for documentation and compliance
Work Instructions Instruct gt Route gt RecordEfficient process workflows are the key to ensuring a seamless operation The Logiscend Work Instructions Application provides the ability to send the appropriate instruction to a monitor in the work zone on the factory floor to instruct operators automatically what to build and how to build it ndash ensuring the correct instruction is always provided at the right workstation The Logiscend Work Instructions Application also provides the ability to send new instructions when issues arise or there is a change in production build
Smart Container Schedule gt Track gt OptimizeAs factories increasingly are being asked to respond in real time to more and more product options and customized product variations from consumers static paper labels guiding materials through the extended supply chain are unable to keep up Smart containers that can be tracked and redirected to respond automatically to this complexity telling operators what to do next are the answer The Logiscend solution provides an exponential leap forward in gaining full process control in our new connected world with self-directed ldquosmart containersrdquo Yoursquoll never lose another container or be short of crucial material again
More than 80 of errors are typically eliminated when visual instructions are present
gt20 of containers are reported lost annually costing companies millions of dollars
It was much easier than I thought to convert to the Panasonic Logiscend IIoT pick module Once the server and gateway were in place we reconfigured one warehouse picking site in a couple of hours and immediately pickers learned the system and were outperforming their previous efforts In the first week we learned more about the strengths and weaknesses of our Pick process than we ever knew We never looked back

ENTERPRISE VISUALIZATION
amp CONTROLLogiscend is a fully integrated system that includes all of the hardware and software you need to ensure complete end-to-end process visibility seamlessly fitting into your existing process The differentiating products are the visual display tags These display tags directly replace paper labels with wirelessly connected e-paper displays in a variety of sizes As with paper labels operators can see right on the container or assembly all handling instructions Unlike paper labels these visual tags and the assets on which they are placed can be tracked as they flow through the factory in real-time The Logiscend difference the displayed instruction can be changed at any time from anywhere as conditions merit Donrsquot just collect information ndash give workers the ability to act on it immediately
How Logiscend Works
Pick Locate gt Select gt RouteGetting the right parts to the right place at the right time in any factory starts with ensuring an accurate picking or kitting of those parts from the warehouse supermarket or line-side location Paper-based processes are highly error-prone and inefficient when it comes to ensuring the correct parts are located and selected manually by operators Wired Pick to Light systems are costly to install and difficult to reconfigure The Logiscend Pick Application ensures a cost-effective accurate and efficient process by providing visual cues and instruction for operators for each job with a wireless VIEW Tag on each bin rack or shelf
Replenishment Call gt Pick gt DeliverParts replenishment is a key function in any manufacturing operation The Logiscend Replenishment Application allows an operator to ldquocallrdquo for parts or services ndash by manually pressing a button on the VIEW tag automatically initiating a call via a flow rack switch or ordering parts with a tablet ndash and immediately receiving a response via a ldquocall sentrdquo message right on the tag The handler receives the message directly the delivery is then scheduled and an instruction is sent to the VIEW tag that the order has been picked Manager dashboards provide the visibility into calls picks and deliveries to ensure efficiency and opportunities for process improvement
Asset Tracking Find gt Count gt MeasureThe Panasonic Logiscend Asset Tracking Application is the smartest way for high-volume manufacturers to track count and record the status of assets access their history and flag them for repair and renewal This intelligent customizable industrial IoT solution eliminates manual inventory management costs tracks assets in real-time and generates reports for documentation and compliance
Work Instructions Instruct gt Route gt RecordEfficient process workflows are the key to ensuring a seamless operation The Logiscend Work Instructions Application provides the ability to send the appropriate instruction to a monitor in the work zone on the factory floor to instruct operators automatically what to build and how to build it ndash ensuring the correct instruction is always provided at the right workstation The Logiscend Work Instructions Application also provides the ability to send new instructions when issues arise or there is a change in production build

Logiscend is designed to manage complex material flow applications while simply integrating with your existing processes and MES systems The Logiscend system collects the location and status information by individual container providing the factory floor visibility necessary to automate or re-direct workflows in real-time
Solving the most common cause of factory inefficiencyWe have worked with factories all over the world and found that the 1 problem impacting their output is the same ndash material flow management Machine uptime defective materials operator skilltraining or resource scheduling arenrsquot the biggest issues Itrsquos simply ldquogetting the right parts to the right place at the right time Logiscend was designed with this in mind
Too often the result is chaos on the factory floor by late afternoon Logiscend is the solution to those issues and more
bull Does production regularly come to a near-standstill as issues inevitably pile up
bull Do you often reassignreschedule routes for work in process
bull Do you manually track down containers to apply new instructions
bull Is managing the count sequence or status of your WIP inventory a challenge because itrsquos manual
bull Do you have teams of ldquorunners that are sent out to the floor to find specific containers for a job or inspection
ENTERPRISE VISUALIZATION
amp CONTROLLogiscend is a fully integrated system that includes all of the hardware and software you need to ensure complete end-to-end process visibility seamlessly fitting into your existing process The differentiating products are the visual display tags These display tags directly replace paper labels with wirelessly connected e-paper displays in a variety of sizes As with paper labels operators can see right on the container or assembly all handling instructions Unlike paper labels these visual tags and the assets on which they are placed can be tracked as they flow through the factory in real-time The Logiscend difference the displayed instruction can be changed at any time from anywhere as conditions merit Donrsquot just collect information ndash give workers the ability to act on it immediately
How Logiscend Works
Pick Locate gt Select gt RouteGetting the right parts to the right place at the right time in any factory starts with ensuring an accurate picking or kitting of those parts from the warehouse supermarket or line-side location Paper-based processes are highly error-prone and inefficient when it comes to ensuring the correct parts are located and selected manually by operators Wired Pick to Light systems are costly to install and difficult to reconfigure The Logiscend Pick Application ensures a cost-effective accurate and efficient process by providing visual cues and instruction for operators for each job with a wireless VIEW Tag on each bin rack or shelf
Replenishment Call gt Pick gt DeliverParts replenishment is a key function in any manufacturing operation The Logiscend Replenishment Application allows an operator to ldquocallrdquo for parts or services ndash by manually pressing a button on the VIEW tag automatically initiating a call via a flow rack switch or ordering parts with a tablet ndash and immediately receiving a response via a ldquocall sentrdquo message right on the tag The handler receives the message directly the delivery is then scheduled and an instruction is sent to the VIEW tag that the order has been picked Manager dashboards provide the visibility into calls picks and deliveries to ensure efficiency and opportunities for process improvement
Asset Tracking Find gt Count gt MeasureThe Panasonic Logiscend Asset Tracking Application is the smartest way for high-volume manufacturers to track count and record the status of assets access their history and flag them for repair and renewal This intelligent customizable industrial IoT solution eliminates manual inventory management costs tracks assets in real-time and generates reports for documentation and compliance
Work Instructions Instruct gt Route gt RecordEfficient process workflows are the key to ensuring a seamless operation The Logiscend Work Instructions Application provides the ability to send the appropriate instruction to a monitor in the work zone on the factory floor to instruct operators automatically what to build and how to build it ndash ensuring the correct instruction is always provided at the right workstation The Logiscend Work Instructions Application also provides the ability to send new instructions when issues arise or there is a change in production build
Smart Container Schedule gt Track gt OptimizeAs factories increasingly are being asked to respond in real time to more and more product options and customized product variations from consumers static paper labels guiding materials through the extended supply chain are unable to keep up Smart containers that can be tracked and redirected to respond automatically to this complexity telling operators what to do next are the answer The Logiscend solution provides an exponential leap forward in gaining full process control in our new connected world with self-directed ldquosmart containersrdquo Yoursquoll never lose another container or be short of crucial material again
More than 80 of errors are typically eliminated when visual instructions are present
gt20 of containers are reported lost annually costing companies millions of dollars

Panasonic Logiscend Pick Application A Pick-to-Tag wireless Pick solution
Definition PickingPicking is the act of gathering materials on the manufacturing
floor or in a warehouse with pickers performing an action like
assembling kits to grouping parts re-working preparing for
fulfillment or shipping Picking can be set up as a supermarket
or as a lineside activity
Brief history of pickingTraditionally picking actions were transmitted via paper instructions Every bin was identified with a paper label Paper travelers listed the pick jobs the parts and part quantities for each kit As time moves forward Pick-to-Paper systems are being replaced with solutions that are more agile more accurate more productive and more flexible The Panasonic Logiscend System is an Industry 40 solution for picking that not only streamlines the picking activity but also provides realtime data that can be incorporated into analytics for continuous improvement of the materials flow process within your facility
How Pick-to-Tag worksPick-to-Tag connects your warehouse supermarket or lineside with a wireless environment and replaces your current system (usually Pick-to-Paper or Pick-to-Light) with electronic RFIDe-paper tags The tags provide the visual instructions to your pickers with the same impact as paper without the cost and logistical disadvantages Once installed Pick-to-Tag is intuitive to use so it requires minimal training Communication to the Tags is 2-way and instantaneous When pickers complete a task yoursquoll know in real time
Reconfigure in 2 hours or lessShould you need to reconfigure your picking location to accommodate a just-in-time order or a just-in-sequence order you can accomplish this in a couple of hours or less Even if your reconfiguration is radical - for example from a supermarket to a lineside operation - you can handle it in an hour or two Thanks Panasonic IIoT
What are the most common systems for picking Pick-to-Paper is still the most common system with paper pick lists paper labels paper instructions Organizations that switch away from paper tell us that they were surprised to discover how much the paper and printing supporting their paper-based system actually cost Compared to a wireless solution paper is slower less accurate less flexible and less green
If you canrsquot reconfigure your warehouse supermarket or lineside pick in two hours be advised your competition can

This Panasonic VIEW Tag is at the heart of our IIoT Pick solution Itrsquos amazing technology
This tag comes in many forms and sizes from a small tag that attaches to a bin to a large tablet-sized tag that can present a complete set of instructions to an operator The Panasonic tag presents information as e-paper is capable of inverting to flag an action that needs to be taken updates the server instantaneously via the wireless gateway and can (equally instantaneously) be updated by an authorized operator
The Panasonic tag is equipped with a long-life battery designed to last 3-5 years After that period of time we replace it with updated tags equipped with our latest technology and a fresh battery
VIEW 3 Tag would go on a bin showing the picker what to do next When the picker finishes the pick she presses the button on the tag
VIEW 4 Tag is a license-plate tag that fits on a cart or container providing information on contents as well as instructions such as where it goes next

Logiscend is designed to manage complex material flow applications while simply integrating with your existing processes and MES systems The Logiscend system collects the location and status information by individual container providing the factory floor visibility necessary to automate or re-direct workflows in real-time
Solving the most common cause of factory inefficiencyWe have worked with factories all over the world and found that the 1 problem impacting their output is the same ndash material flow management Machine uptime defective materials operator skilltraining or resource scheduling arenrsquot the biggest issues Itrsquos simply ldquogetting the right parts to the right place at the right time Logiscend was designed with this in mind
Too often the result is chaos on the factory floor by late afternoon Logiscend is the solution to those issues and more
bull Does production regularly come to a near-standstill as issues inevitably pile up
bull Do you often reassignreschedule routes for work in process
bull Do you manually track down containers to apply new instructions
bull Is managing the count sequence or status of your WIP inventory a challenge because itrsquos manual
bull Do you have teams of ldquorunners that are sent out to the floor to find specific containers for a job or inspection
ENTERPRISE VISUALIZATION
amp CONTROLLogiscend is a fully integrated system that includes all of the hardware and software you need to ensure complete end-to-end process visibility seamlessly fitting into your existing process The differentiating products are the visual display tags These display tags directly replace paper labels with wirelessly connected e-paper displays in a variety of sizes As with paper labels operators can see right on the container or assembly all handling instructions Unlike paper labels these visual tags and the assets on which they are placed can be tracked as they flow through the factory in real-time The Logiscend difference the displayed instruction can be changed at any time from anywhere as conditions merit Donrsquot just collect information ndash give workers the ability to act on it immediately
How Logiscend Works
Pick Locate gt Select gt RouteGetting the right parts to the right place at the right time in any factory starts with ensuring an accurate picking or kitting of those parts from the warehouse supermarket or line-side location Paper-based processes are highly error-prone and inefficient when it comes to ensuring the correct parts are located and selected manually by operators Wired Pick to Light systems are costly to install and difficult to reconfigure The Logiscend Pick Application ensures a cost-effective accurate and efficient process by providing visual cues and instruction for operators for each job with a wireless VIEW Tag on each bin rack or shelf
Replenishment Call gt Pick gt DeliverParts replenishment is a key function in any manufacturing operation The Logiscend Replenishment Application allows an operator to ldquocallrdquo for parts or services ndash by manually pressing a button on the VIEW tag automatically initiating a call via a flow rack switch or ordering parts with a tablet ndash and immediately receiving a response via a ldquocall sentrdquo message right on the tag The handler receives the message directly the delivery is then scheduled and an instruction is sent to the VIEW tag that the order has been picked Manager dashboards provide the visibility into calls picks and deliveries to ensure efficiency and opportunities for process improvement
Asset Tracking Find gt Count gt MeasureThe Panasonic Logiscend Asset Tracking Application is the smartest way for high-volume manufacturers to track count and record the status of assets access their history and flag them for repair and renewal This intelligent customizable industrial IoT solution eliminates manual inventory management costs tracks assets in real-time and generates reports for documentation and compliance
Work Instructions Instruct gt Route gt RecordEfficient process workflows are the key to ensuring a seamless operation The Logiscend Work Instructions Application provides the ability to send the appropriate instruction to a monitor in the work zone on the factory floor to instruct operators automatically what to build and how to build it ndash ensuring the correct instruction is always provided at the right workstation The Logiscend Work Instructions Application also provides the ability to send new instructions when issues arise or there is a change in production build
Smart Container Schedule gt Track gt OptimizeAs factories increasingly are being asked to respond in real time to more and more product options and customized product variations from consumers static paper labels guiding materials through the extended supply chain are unable to keep up Smart containers that can be tracked and redirected to respond automatically to this complexity telling operators what to do next are the answer The Logiscend solution provides an exponential leap forward in gaining full process control in our new connected world with self-directed ldquosmart containersrdquo Yoursquoll never lose another container or be short of crucial material again
More than 80 of errors are typically eliminated when visual instructions are present
gt20 of containers are reported lost annually costing companies millions of dollars
It was much easier than I thought to convert to the Panasonic Logiscend IIoT pick module Once the server and gateway were in place we reconfigured one warehouse picking site in a couple of hours and immediately pickers learned the system and were outperforming their previous efforts In the first week we learned more about the strengths and weaknesses of our Pick process than we ever knew We never looked back

Pick Locate gt Select gt RouteGetting the right parts to the right place at the right time in any factory starts with ensuring an accurate picking or kitting of those parts from the warehouse supermarket or line-side location Paper-based processes are highly error-prone and inefficient when it comes to ensuring the correct parts are located and selected manually by operators Wired Pick to Light systems are costly to install and difficult to reconfigure The Logiscend Pick Application ensures a cost-effective accurate and efficient process by providing visual cues and instruction for operators for each job with a wireless VIEW Tag on each bin rack or shelf
Replenishment Call gt Pick gt DeliverParts replenishment is a key function in any manufacturing operation The Logiscend Replenishment Application allows an operator to ldquocallrdquo for parts or services ndash by manually pressing a button on the VIEW tag automatically initiating a call via a flow rack switch or ordering parts with a tablet ndash and immediately receiving a response via a ldquocall sentrdquo message right on the tag The handler receives the message directly the delivery is then scheduled and an instruction is sent to the VIEW tag that the order has been picked Manager dashboards provide the visibility into calls picks and deliveries to ensure efficiency and opportunities for process improvement

Panasonic Logiscend Pick Application A Pick-to-Tag wireless Pick solution
Definition PickingPicking is the act of gathering materials on the manufacturing
floor or in a warehouse with pickers performing an action like
assembling kits to grouping parts re-working preparing for
fulfillment or shipping Picking can be set up as a supermarket
or as a lineside activity
Brief history of pickingTraditionally picking actions were transmitted via paper instructions Every bin was identified with a paper label Paper travelers listed the pick jobs the parts and part quantities for each kit As time moves forward Pick-to-Paper systems are being replaced with solutions that are more agile more accurate more productive and more flexible The Panasonic Logiscend System is an Industry 40 solution for picking that not only streamlines the picking activity but also provides realtime data that can be incorporated into analytics for continuous improvement of the materials flow process within your facility
How Pick-to-Tag worksPick-to-Tag connects your warehouse supermarket or lineside with a wireless environment and replaces your current system (usually Pick-to-Paper or Pick-to-Light) with electronic RFIDe-paper tags The tags provide the visual instructions to your pickers with the same impact as paper without the cost and logistical disadvantages Once installed Pick-to-Tag is intuitive to use so it requires minimal training Communication to the Tags is 2-way and instantaneous When pickers complete a task yoursquoll know in real time
Reconfigure in 2 hours or lessShould you need to reconfigure your picking location to accommodate a just-in-time order or a just-in-sequence order you can accomplish this in a couple of hours or less Even if your reconfiguration is radical - for example from a supermarket to a lineside operation - you can handle it in an hour or two Thanks Panasonic IIoT
What are the most common systems for picking Pick-to-Paper is still the most common system with paper pick lists paper labels paper instructions Organizations that switch away from paper tell us that they were surprised to discover how much the paper and printing supporting their paper-based system actually cost Compared to a wireless solution paper is slower less accurate less flexible and less green
If you canrsquot reconfigure your warehouse supermarket or lineside pick in two hours be advised your competition can

Your customers are saying
I want it my way I want it now and I want it perfect
If this demand is familiar talk to us We heard it ten years ago We developed a solution We can help you transform your factories with the same IIoT materials flow processes we are using in our own plants Our technology integrates beautifully with your MESERP system Wersquoll set it up for you or you can do it yourself ndash the APIs are open source

This Panasonic VIEW Tag is at the heart of our IIoT Pick solution Itrsquos amazing technology
This tag comes in many forms and sizes from a small tag that attaches to a bin to a large tablet-sized tag that can present a complete set of instructions to an operator The Panasonic tag presents information as e-paper is capable of inverting to flag an action that needs to be taken updates the server instantaneously via the wireless gateway and can (equally instantaneously) be updated by an authorized operator
The Panasonic tag is equipped with a long-life battery designed to last 3-5 years After that period of time we replace it with updated tags equipped with our latest technology and a fresh battery
VIEW 3 Tag would go on a bin showing the picker what to do next When the picker finishes the pick she presses the button on the tag
VIEW 4 Tag is a license-plate tag that fits on a cart or container providing information on contents as well as instructions such as where it goes next
VIEW 7 Tag provides real-time electronic work instructions that communicate to an operator what to build and how to build it

Logiscend is designed to manage complex material flow applications while simply integrating with your existing processes and MES systems The Logiscend system collects the location and status information by individual container providing the factory floor visibility necessary to automate or re-direct workflows in real-time
Solving the most common cause of factory inefficiencyWe have worked with factories all over the world and found that the 1 problem impacting their output is the same ndash material flow management Machine uptime defective materials operator skilltraining or resource scheduling arenrsquot the biggest issues Itrsquos simply ldquogetting the right parts to the right place at the right time Logiscend was designed with this in mind
Too often the result is chaos on the factory floor by late afternoon Logiscend is the solution to those issues and more
bull Does production regularly come to a near-standstill as issues inevitably pile up
bull Do you often reassignreschedule routes for work in process
bull Do you manually track down containers to apply new instructions
bull Is managing the count sequence or status of your WIP inventory a challenge because itrsquos manual
bull Do you have teams of ldquorunners that are sent out to the floor to find specific containers for a job or inspection
ENTERPRISE VISUALIZATION
amp CONTROLLogiscend is a fully integrated system that includes all of the hardware and software you need to ensure complete end-to-end process visibility seamlessly fitting into your existing process The differentiating products are the visual display tags These display tags directly replace paper labels with wirelessly connected e-paper displays in a variety of sizes As with paper labels operators can see right on the container or assembly all handling instructions Unlike paper labels these visual tags and the assets on which they are placed can be tracked as they flow through the factory in real-time The Logiscend difference the displayed instruction can be changed at any time from anywhere as conditions merit Donrsquot just collect information ndash give workers the ability to act on it immediately
How Logiscend Works
Pick Locate gt Select gt RouteGetting the right parts to the right place at the right time in any factory starts with ensuring an accurate picking or kitting of those parts from the warehouse supermarket or line-side location Paper-based processes are highly error-prone and inefficient when it comes to ensuring the correct parts are located and selected manually by operators Wired Pick to Light systems are costly to install and difficult to reconfigure The Logiscend Pick Application ensures a cost-effective accurate and efficient process by providing visual cues and instruction for operators for each job with a wireless VIEW Tag on each bin rack or shelf
Replenishment Call gt Pick gt DeliverParts replenishment is a key function in any manufacturing operation The Logiscend Replenishment Application allows an operator to ldquocallrdquo for parts or services ndash by manually pressing a button on the VIEW tag automatically initiating a call via a flow rack switch or ordering parts with a tablet ndash and immediately receiving a response via a ldquocall sentrdquo message right on the tag The handler receives the message directly the delivery is then scheduled and an instruction is sent to the VIEW tag that the order has been picked Manager dashboards provide the visibility into calls picks and deliveries to ensure efficiency and opportunities for process improvement
Asset Tracking Find gt Count gt MeasureThe Panasonic Logiscend Asset Tracking Application is the smartest way for high-volume manufacturers to track count and record the status of assets access their history and flag them for repair and renewal This intelligent customizable industrial IoT solution eliminates manual inventory management costs tracks assets in real-time and generates reports for documentation and compliance
Work Instructions Instruct gt Route gt RecordEfficient process workflows are the key to ensuring a seamless operation The Logiscend Work Instructions Application provides the ability to send the appropriate instruction to a monitor in the work zone on the factory floor to instruct operators automatically what to build and how to build it ndash ensuring the correct instruction is always provided at the right workstation The Logiscend Work Instructions Application also provides the ability to send new instructions when issues arise or there is a change in production build
Smart Container Schedule gt Track gt OptimizeAs factories increasingly are being asked to respond in real time to more and more product options and customized product variations from consumers static paper labels guiding materials through the extended supply chain are unable to keep up Smart containers that can be tracked and redirected to respond automatically to this complexity telling operators what to do next are the answer The Logiscend solution provides an exponential leap forward in gaining full process control in our new connected world with self-directed ldquosmart containersrdquo Yoursquoll never lose another container or be short of crucial material again
More than 80 of errors are typically eliminated when visual instructions are present
gt20 of containers are reported lost annually costing companies millions of dollars
It was much easier than I thought to convert to the Panasonic Logiscend IIoT pick module Once the server and gateway were in place we reconfigured one warehouse picking site in a couple of hours and immediately pickers learned the system and were outperforming their previous efforts In the first week we learned more about the strengths and weaknesses of our Pick process than we ever knew We never looked back

Pick Locate gt Select gt RouteGetting the right parts to the right place at the right time in any factory starts with ensuring an accurate picking or kitting of those parts from the warehouse supermarket or line-side location Paper-based processes are highly error-prone and inefficient when it comes to ensuring the correct parts are located and selected manually by operators Wired Pick to Light systems are costly to install and difficult to reconfigure The Logiscend Pick Application ensures a cost-effective accurate and efficient process by providing visual cues and instruction for operators for each job with a wireless VIEW Tag on each bin rack or shelf
Replenishment Call gt Pick gt DeliverParts replenishment is a key function in any manufacturing operation The Logiscend Replenishment Application allows an operator to ldquocallrdquo for parts or services ndash by manually pressing a button on the VIEW tag automatically initiating a call via a flow rack switch or ordering parts with a tablet ndash and immediately receiving a response via a ldquocall sentrdquo message right on the tag The handler receives the message directly the delivery is then scheduled and an instruction is sent to the VIEW tag that the order has been picked Manager dashboards provide the visibility into calls picks and deliveries to ensure efficiency and opportunities for process improvement
Asset Tracking Find gt Count gt MeasureThe Panasonic Logiscend Asset Tracking Application is the smartest way for high-volume manufacturers to track count and record the status of assets access their history and flag them for repair and renewal This intelligent customizable industrial IoT solution eliminates manual inventory management costs tracks assets in real-time and generates reports for documentation and compliance
Work Instructions Instruct gt Route gt RecordEfficient process workflows are the key to ensuring a seamless operation The Logiscend Work Instructions Application provides the ability to send the appropriate instruction to a monitor in the work zone on the factory floor to instruct operators automatically what to build and how to build it ndash ensuring the correct instruction is always provided at the right workstation The Logiscend Work Instructions Application also provides the ability to send new instructions when issues arise or there is a change in production build
Smart Container Schedule gt Track gt OptimizeAs factories increasingly are being asked to respond in real time to more and more product options and customized product variations from consumers static paper labels guiding materials through the extended supply chain are unable to keep up Smart containers that can be tracked and redirected to respond automatically to this complexity telling operators what to do next are the answer The Logiscend solution provides an exponential leap forward in gaining full process control in our new connected world with self-directed ldquosmart containersrdquo Yoursquoll never lose another container or be short of crucial material again

IntroductionTo thrive and grow as a Tier 1 global manufacturer of auto seating systems and components requires precision production hellip and very quick turnaround times
To support the need for time and material precision one of the most critical parts of the process is ensuring the right parts are picked kitted and delivered to the assembly line for production Historically this process had been managed by paper lists and pick tickets mdash inefficient and prone to manual error This manufacturer was looking to automate the process with a visual RFID system (Logiscend)
There were five primary goals for the project
To get started the manufacturerrsquos Center of Excellence team researched RFID applications for multiple different development projects The team came directly to us for a solution to tracking incoming materials and containers Ultimately we engaged as both the consultant and systems integrator

Replenishment ApplicationLOGISCEND SYSTEM
Getting the right parts to the right place at the right time is essential in any
factory The Panasonic Logiscend Replenishment Application ensures your
operators never run out of parts at any point in the process
Panasonic Logiscend Pick Application A Pick-to-Tag wireless Pick solution
Definition PickingPicking is the act of gathering materials on the manufacturing
floor or in a warehouse with pickers performing an action like
assembling kits to grouping parts re-working preparing for
fulfillment or shipping Picking can be set up as a supermarket
or as a lineside activity
Brief history of pickingTraditionally picking actions were transmitted via paper instructions Every bin was identified with a paper label Paper travelers listed the pick jobs the parts and part quantities for each kit As time moves forward Pick-to-Paper systems are being replaced with solutions that are more agile more accurate more productive and more flexible The Panasonic Logiscend System is an Industry 40 solution for picking that not only streamlines the picking activity but also provides realtime data that can be incorporated into analytics for continuous improvement of the materials flow process within your facility
How Pick-to-Tag worksPick-to-Tag connects your warehouse supermarket or lineside with a wireless environment and replaces your current system (usually Pick-to-Paper or Pick-to-Light) with electronic RFIDe-paper tags The tags provide the visual instructions to your pickers with the same impact as paper without the cost and logistical disadvantages Once installed Pick-to-Tag is intuitive to use so it requires minimal training Communication to the Tags is 2-way and instantaneous When pickers complete a task yoursquoll know in real time
Reconfigure in 2 hours or lessShould you need to reconfigure your picking location to accommodate a just-in-time order or a just-in-sequence order you can accomplish this in a couple of hours or less Even if your reconfiguration is radical - for example from a supermarket to a lineside operation - you can handle it in an hour or two Thanks Panasonic IIoT
What are the most common systems for picking Pick-to-Paper is still the most common system with paper pick lists paper labels paper instructions Organizations that switch away from paper tell us that they were surprised to discover how much the paper and printing supporting their paper-based system actually cost Compared to a wireless solution paper is slower less accurate less flexible and less green
If you canrsquot reconfigure your warehouse supermarket or lineside pick in two hours be advised your competition can

Your customers are saying
I want it my way I want it now and I want it perfect
If this demand is familiar talk to us We heard it ten years ago We developed a solution We can help you transform your factories with the same IIoT materials flow processes we are using in our own plants Our technology integrates beautifully with your MESERP system Wersquoll set it up for you or you can do it yourself ndash the APIs are open source

Logiscend is designed to manage complex material flow applications while simply integrating with your existing processes and MES systems The Logiscend system collects the location and status information by individual container providing the factory floor visibility necessary to automate or re-direct workflows in real-time
Solving the most common cause of factory inefficiencyWe have worked with factories all over the world and found that the 1 problem impacting their output is the same ndash material flow management Machine uptime defective materials operator skilltraining or resource scheduling arenrsquot the biggest issues Itrsquos simply ldquogetting the right parts to the right place at the right time Logiscend was designed with this in mind
Too often the result is chaos on the factory floor by late afternoon Logiscend is the solution to those issues and more
bull Does production regularly come to a near-standstill as issues inevitably pile up
bull Do you often reassignreschedule routes for work in process
bull Do you manually track down containers to apply new instructions
bull Is managing the count sequence or status of your WIP inventory a challenge because itrsquos manual
bull Do you have teams of ldquorunners that are sent out to the floor to find specific containers for a job or inspection
ENTERPRISE VISUALIZATION
amp CONTROLLogiscend is a fully integrated system that includes all of the hardware and software you need to ensure complete end-to-end process visibility seamlessly fitting into your existing process The differentiating products are the visual display tags These display tags directly replace paper labels with wirelessly connected e-paper displays in a variety of sizes As with paper labels operators can see right on the container or assembly all handling instructions Unlike paper labels these visual tags and the assets on which they are placed can be tracked as they flow through the factory in real-time The Logiscend difference the displayed instruction can be changed at any time from anywhere as conditions merit Donrsquot just collect information ndash give workers the ability to act on it immediately
How Logiscend Works
Pick Locate gt Select gt RouteGetting the right parts to the right place at the right time in any factory starts with ensuring an accurate picking or kitting of those parts from the warehouse supermarket or line-side location Paper-based processes are highly error-prone and inefficient when it comes to ensuring the correct parts are located and selected manually by operators Wired Pick to Light systems are costly to install and difficult to reconfigure The Logiscend Pick Application ensures a cost-effective accurate and efficient process by providing visual cues and instruction for operators for each job with a wireless VIEW Tag on each bin rack or shelf
Replenishment Call gt Pick gt DeliverParts replenishment is a key function in any manufacturing operation The Logiscend Replenishment Application allows an operator to ldquocallrdquo for parts or services ndash by manually pressing a button on the VIEW tag automatically initiating a call via a flow rack switch or ordering parts with a tablet ndash and immediately receiving a response via a ldquocall sentrdquo message right on the tag The handler receives the message directly the delivery is then scheduled and an instruction is sent to the VIEW tag that the order has been picked Manager dashboards provide the visibility into calls picks and deliveries to ensure efficiency and opportunities for process improvement
Asset Tracking Find gt Count gt MeasureThe Panasonic Logiscend Asset Tracking Application is the smartest way for high-volume manufacturers to track count and record the status of assets access their history and flag them for repair and renewal This intelligent customizable industrial IoT solution eliminates manual inventory management costs tracks assets in real-time and generates reports for documentation and compliance
Work Instructions Instruct gt Route gt RecordEfficient process workflows are the key to ensuring a seamless operation The Logiscend Work Instructions Application provides the ability to send the appropriate instruction to a monitor in the work zone on the factory floor to instruct operators automatically what to build and how to build it ndash ensuring the correct instruction is always provided at the right workstation The Logiscend Work Instructions Application also provides the ability to send new instructions when issues arise or there is a change in production build
Smart Container Schedule gt Track gt OptimizeAs factories increasingly are being asked to respond in real time to more and more product options and customized product variations from consumers static paper labels guiding materials through the extended supply chain are unable to keep up Smart containers that can be tracked and redirected to respond automatically to this complexity telling operators what to do next are the answer The Logiscend solution provides an exponential leap forward in gaining full process control in our new connected world with self-directed ldquosmart containersrdquo Yoursquoll never lose another container or be short of crucial material again
More than 80 of errors are typically eliminated when visual instructions are present
gt20 of containers are reported lost annually costing companies millions of dollars
It was much easier than I thought to convert to the Panasonic Logiscend IIoT pick module Once the server and gateway were in place we reconfigured one warehouse picking site in a couple of hours and immediately pickers learned the system and were outperforming their previous efforts In the first week we learned more about the strengths and weaknesses of our Pick process than we ever knew We never looked back

ENTERPRISE VISUALIZATION
amp CONTROLLogiscend is a fully integrated system that includes all of the hardware and software you need to ensure complete end-to-end process visibility seamlessly fitting into your existing process The differentiating products are the visual display tags These display tags directly replace paper labels with wirelessly connected e-paper displays in a variety of sizes As with paper labels operators can see right on the container or assembly all handling instructions Unlike paper labels these visual tags and the assets on which they are placed can be tracked as they flow through the factory in real-time The Logiscend difference the displayed instruction can be changed at any time from anywhere as conditions merit Donrsquot just collect information ndash give workers the ability to act on it immediately
How Logiscend Works
Pick Locate gt Select gt RouteGetting the right parts to the right place at the right time in any factory starts with ensuring an accurate picking or kitting of those parts from the warehouse supermarket or line-side location Paper-based processes are highly error-prone and inefficient when it comes to ensuring the correct parts are located and selected manually by operators Wired Pick to Light systems are costly to install and difficult to reconfigure The Logiscend Pick Application ensures a cost-effective accurate and efficient process by providing visual cues and instruction for operators for each job with a wireless VIEW Tag on each bin rack or shelf
Replenishment Call gt Pick gt DeliverParts replenishment is a key function in any manufacturing operation The Logiscend Replenishment Application allows an operator to ldquocallrdquo for parts or services ndash by manually pressing a button on the VIEW tag automatically initiating a call via a flow rack switch or ordering parts with a tablet ndash and immediately receiving a response via a ldquocall sentrdquo message right on the tag The handler receives the message directly the delivery is then scheduled and an instruction is sent to the VIEW tag that the order has been picked Manager dashboards provide the visibility into calls picks and deliveries to ensure efficiency and opportunities for process improvement
Asset Tracking Find gt Count gt MeasureThe Panasonic Logiscend Asset Tracking Application is the smartest way for high-volume manufacturers to track count and record the status of assets access their history and flag them for repair and renewal This intelligent customizable industrial IoT solution eliminates manual inventory management costs tracks assets in real-time and generates reports for documentation and compliance
Work Instructions Instruct gt Route gt RecordEfficient process workflows are the key to ensuring a seamless operation The Logiscend Work Instructions Application provides the ability to send the appropriate instruction to a monitor in the work zone on the factory floor to instruct operators automatically what to build and how to build it ndash ensuring the correct instruction is always provided at the right workstation The Logiscend Work Instructions Application also provides the ability to send new instructions when issues arise or there is a change in production build
Smart Container Schedule gt Track gt OptimizeAs factories increasingly are being asked to respond in real time to more and more product options and customized product variations from consumers static paper labels guiding materials through the extended supply chain are unable to keep up Smart containers that can be tracked and redirected to respond automatically to this complexity telling operators what to do next are the answer The Logiscend solution provides an exponential leap forward in gaining full process control in our new connected world with self-directed ldquosmart containersrdquo Yoursquoll never lose another container or be short of crucial material again
More than 80 of errors are typically eliminated when visual instructions are present
gt20 of containers are reported lost annually costing companies millions of dollars

Panasonic Logiscend Pick Application A Pick-to-Tag wireless Pick solution
Definition PickingPicking is the act of gathering materials on the manufacturing
floor or in a warehouse with pickers performing an action like
assembling kits to grouping parts re-working preparing for
fulfillment or shipping Picking can be set up as a supermarket
or as a lineside activity
Brief history of pickingTraditionally picking actions were transmitted via paper instructions Every bin was identified with a paper label Paper travelers listed the pick jobs the parts and part quantities for each kit As time moves forward Pick-to-Paper systems are being replaced with solutions that are more agile more accurate more productive and more flexible The Panasonic Logiscend System is an Industry 40 solution for picking that not only streamlines the picking activity but also provides realtime data that can be incorporated into analytics for continuous improvement of the materials flow process within your facility
How Pick-to-Tag worksPick-to-Tag connects your warehouse supermarket or lineside with a wireless environment and replaces your current system (usually Pick-to-Paper or Pick-to-Light) with electronic RFIDe-paper tags The tags provide the visual instructions to your pickers with the same impact as paper without the cost and logistical disadvantages Once installed Pick-to-Tag is intuitive to use so it requires minimal training Communication to the Tags is 2-way and instantaneous When pickers complete a task yoursquoll know in real time
Reconfigure in 2 hours or lessShould you need to reconfigure your picking location to accommodate a just-in-time order or a just-in-sequence order you can accomplish this in a couple of hours or less Even if your reconfiguration is radical - for example from a supermarket to a lineside operation - you can handle it in an hour or two Thanks Panasonic IIoT
What are the most common systems for picking Pick-to-Paper is still the most common system with paper pick lists paper labels paper instructions Organizations that switch away from paper tell us that they were surprised to discover how much the paper and printing supporting their paper-based system actually cost Compared to a wireless solution paper is slower less accurate less flexible and less green
If you canrsquot reconfigure your warehouse supermarket or lineside pick in two hours be advised your competition can

Your customers are saying
I want it my way I want it now and I want it perfect
If this demand is familiar talk to us We heard it ten years ago We developed a solution We can help you transform your factories with the same IIoT materials flow processes we are using in our own plants Our technology integrates beautifully with your MESERP system Wersquoll set it up for you or you can do it yourself ndash the APIs are open source

Advantages of Pick-to-Tag over other systems of picking
For more information please contact IIoTsalesuspanasoniccom
Customization Creates TransformationSeveral customizations were necessary on the software side to accommodate the interfacing to the customers proprietary MES system Like most manufacturers this customer runs multiple workflows so the Logiscend software was able to be modified to accommodate each of these workflows now and in the future
Some hardwarefirmware revisions were also made to support the process modifications optimizing communication And to ensure global standardization adjustments were made to the solution for connectivity and data flow from their MES system in every environment
Results

IntroductionTo thrive and grow as a Tier 1 global manufacturer of auto seating systems and components requires precision production hellip and very quick turnaround times

Logiscend is designed to manage complex material flow applications while simply integrating with your existing processes and MES systems The Logiscend system collects the location and status information by individual container providing the factory floor visibility necessary to automate or re-direct workflows in real-time
Solving the most common cause of factory inefficiencyWe have worked with factories all over the world and found that the 1 problem impacting their output is the same ndash material flow management Machine uptime defective materials operator skilltraining or resource scheduling arenrsquot the biggest issues Itrsquos simply ldquogetting the right parts to the right place at the right time Logiscend was designed with this in mind
Too often the result is chaos on the factory floor by late afternoon Logiscend is the solution to those issues and more
bull Does production regularly come to a near-standstill as issues inevitably pile up
bull Do you often reassignreschedule routes for work in process
bull Do you manually track down containers to apply new instructions
bull Is managing the count sequence or status of your WIP inventory a challenge because itrsquos manual
bull Do you have teams of ldquorunners that are sent out to the floor to find specific containers for a job or inspection
ENTERPRISE VISUALIZATION
amp CONTROLLogiscend is a fully integrated system that includes all of the hardware and software you need to ensure complete end-to-end process visibility seamlessly fitting into your existing process The differentiating products are the visual display tags These display tags directly replace paper labels with wirelessly connected e-paper displays in a variety of sizes As with paper labels operators can see right on the container or assembly all handling instructions Unlike paper labels these visual tags and the assets on which they are placed can be tracked as they flow through the factory in real-time The Logiscend difference the displayed instruction can be changed at any time from anywhere as conditions merit Donrsquot just collect information ndash give workers the ability to act on it immediately
How Logiscend Works
Pick Locate gt Select gt RouteGetting the right parts to the right place at the right time in any factory starts with ensuring an accurate picking or kitting of those parts from the warehouse supermarket or line-side location Paper-based processes are highly error-prone and inefficient when it comes to ensuring the correct parts are located and selected manually by operators Wired Pick to Light systems are costly to install and difficult to reconfigure The Logiscend Pick Application ensures a cost-effective accurate and efficient process by providing visual cues and instruction for operators for each job with a wireless VIEW Tag on each bin rack or shelf
Replenishment Call gt Pick gt DeliverParts replenishment is a key function in any manufacturing operation The Logiscend Replenishment Application allows an operator to ldquocallrdquo for parts or services ndash by manually pressing a button on the VIEW tag automatically initiating a call via a flow rack switch or ordering parts with a tablet ndash and immediately receiving a response via a ldquocall sentrdquo message right on the tag The handler receives the message directly the delivery is then scheduled and an instruction is sent to the VIEW tag that the order has been picked Manager dashboards provide the visibility into calls picks and deliveries to ensure efficiency and opportunities for process improvement
Asset Tracking Find gt Count gt MeasureThe Panasonic Logiscend Asset Tracking Application is the smartest way for high-volume manufacturers to track count and record the status of assets access their history and flag them for repair and renewal This intelligent customizable industrial IoT solution eliminates manual inventory management costs tracks assets in real-time and generates reports for documentation and compliance
Work Instructions Instruct gt Route gt RecordEfficient process workflows are the key to ensuring a seamless operation The Logiscend Work Instructions Application provides the ability to send the appropriate instruction to a monitor in the work zone on the factory floor to instruct operators automatically what to build and how to build it ndash ensuring the correct instruction is always provided at the right workstation The Logiscend Work Instructions Application also provides the ability to send new instructions when issues arise or there is a change in production build
Smart Container Schedule gt Track gt OptimizeAs factories increasingly are being asked to respond in real time to more and more product options and customized product variations from consumers static paper labels guiding materials through the extended supply chain are unable to keep up Smart containers that can be tracked and redirected to respond automatically to this complexity telling operators what to do next are the answer The Logiscend solution provides an exponential leap forward in gaining full process control in our new connected world with self-directed ldquosmart containersrdquo Yoursquoll never lose another container or be short of crucial material again
More than 80 of errors are typically eliminated when visual instructions are present
gt20 of containers are reported lost annually costing companies millions of dollars
It was much easier than I thought to convert to the Panasonic Logiscend IIoT pick module Once the server and gateway were in place we reconfigured one warehouse picking site in a couple of hours and immediately pickers learned the system and were outperforming their previous efforts In the first week we learned more about the strengths and weaknesses of our Pick process than we ever knew We never looked back

Logiscend is designed to manage complex material flow applications while simply integrating with your existing processes and MES systems The Logiscend system collects the location and status information by individual container providing the factory floor visibility necessary to automate or re-direct workflows in real-time
Solving the most common cause of factory inefficiencyWe have worked with factories all over the world and found that the 1 problem impacting their output is the same ndash material flow management Machine uptime defective materials operator skilltraining or resource scheduling arenrsquot the biggest issues Itrsquos simply ldquogetting the right parts to the right place at the right time Logiscend was designed with this in mind
Too often the result is chaos on the factory floor by late afternoon Logiscend is the solution to those issues and more
bull Does production regularly come to a near-standstill as issues inevitably pile up
bull Do you often reassignreschedule routes for work in process
bull Do you manually track down containers to apply new instructions
bull Is managing the count sequence or status of your WIP inventory a challenge because itrsquos manual
bull Do you have teams of ldquorunners that are sent out to the floor to find specific containers for a job or inspection
ENTERPRISE VISUALIZATION
amp CONTROLLogiscend is a fully integrated system that includes all of the hardware and software you need to ensure complete end-to-end process visibility seamlessly fitting into your existing process The differentiating products are the visual display tags These display tags directly replace paper labels with wirelessly connected e-paper displays in a variety of sizes As with paper labels operators can see right on the container or assembly all handling instructions Unlike paper labels these visual tags and the assets on which they are placed can be tracked as they flow through the factory in real-time The Logiscend difference the displayed instruction can be changed at any time from anywhere as conditions merit Donrsquot just collect information ndash give workers the ability to act on it immediately
How Logiscend Works
Pick Locate gt Select gt RouteGetting the right parts to the right place at the right time in any factory starts with ensuring an accurate picking or kitting of those parts from the warehouse supermarket or line-side location Paper-based processes are highly error-prone and inefficient when it comes to ensuring the correct parts are located and selected manually by operators Wired Pick to Light systems are costly to install and difficult to reconfigure The Logiscend Pick Application ensures a cost-effective accurate and efficient process by providing visual cues and instruction for operators for each job with a wireless VIEW Tag on each bin rack or shelf
Replenishment Call gt Pick gt DeliverParts replenishment is a key function in any manufacturing operation The Logiscend Replenishment Application allows an operator to ldquocallrdquo for parts or services ndash by manually pressing a button on the VIEW tag automatically initiating a call via a flow rack switch or ordering parts with a tablet ndash and immediately receiving a response via a ldquocall sentrdquo message right on the tag The handler receives the message directly the delivery is then scheduled and an instruction is sent to the VIEW tag that the order has been picked Manager dashboards provide the visibility into calls picks and deliveries to ensure efficiency and opportunities for process improvement
Asset Tracking Find gt Count gt MeasureThe Panasonic Logiscend Asset Tracking Application is the smartest way for high-volume manufacturers to track count and record the status of assets access their history and flag them for repair and renewal This intelligent customizable industrial IoT solution eliminates manual inventory management costs tracks assets in real-time and generates reports for documentation and compliance
Work Instructions Instruct gt Route gt RecordEfficient process workflows are the key to ensuring a seamless operation The Logiscend Work Instructions Application provides the ability to send the appropriate instruction to a monitor in the work zone on the factory floor to instruct operators automatically what to build and how to build it ndash ensuring the correct instruction is always provided at the right workstation The Logiscend Work Instructions Application also provides the ability to send new instructions when issues arise or there is a change in production build
Smart Container Schedule gt Track gt OptimizeAs factories increasingly are being asked to respond in real time to more and more product options and customized product variations from consumers static paper labels guiding materials through the extended supply chain are unable to keep up Smart containers that can be tracked and redirected to respond automatically to this complexity telling operators what to do next are the answer The Logiscend solution provides an exponential leap forward in gaining full process control in our new connected world with self-directed ldquosmart containersrdquo Yoursquoll never lose another container or be short of crucial material again
More than 80 of errors are typically eliminated when visual instructions are present
gt20 of containers are reported lost annually costing companies millions of dollars

amp CONTROLLogiscend is a fully integrated system that includes all of the hardware and software you need to ensure complete end-to-end process visibility seamlessly fitting into your existing process The differentiating products are the visual display tags These display tags directly replace paper labels with wirelessly connected e-paper displays in a variety of sizes As with paper labels operators can see right on the container or assembly all handling instructions Unlike paper labels these visual tags and the assets on which they are placed can be tracked as they flow through the factory in real-time The Logiscend difference the displayed instruction can be changed at any time from anywhere as conditions merit Donrsquot just collect information ndash give workers the ability to act on it immediately
How Logiscend Works
Pick Locate gt Select gt RouteGetting the right parts to the right place at the right time in any factory starts with ensuring an accurate picking or kitting of those parts from the warehouse supermarket or line-side location Paper-based processes are highly error-prone and inefficient when it comes to ensuring the correct parts are located and selected manually by operators Wired Pick to Light systems are costly to install and difficult to reconfigure The Logiscend Pick Application ensures a cost-effective accurate and efficient process by providing visual cues and instruction for operators for each job with a wireless VIEW Tag on each bin rack or shelf
Replenishment Call gt Pick gt DeliverParts replenishment is a key function in any manufacturing operation The Logiscend Replenishment Application allows an operator to ldquocallrdquo for parts or services ndash by manually pressing a button on the VIEW tag automatically initiating a call via a flow rack switch or ordering parts with a tablet ndash and immediately receiving a response via a ldquocall sentrdquo message right on the tag The handler receives the message directly the delivery is then scheduled and an instruction is sent to the VIEW tag that the order has been picked Manager dashboards provide the visibility into calls picks and deliveries to ensure efficiency and opportunities for process improvement

Brief history of pickingTraditionally picking actions were transmitted via paper instructions Every bin was identified with a paper label Paper travelers listed the pick jobs the parts and part quantities for each kit As time moves forward Pick-to-Paper systems are being replaced with solutions that are more agile more accurate more productive and more flexible The Panasonic Logiscend System is an Industry 40 solution for picking that not only streamlines the picking activity but also provides realtime data that can be incorporated into analytics for continuous improvement of the materials flow process within your facility
How Pick-to-Tag worksPick-to-Tag connects your warehouse supermarket or lineside with a wireless environment and replaces your current system (usually Pick-to-Paper or Pick-to-Light) with electronic RFIDe-paper tags The tags provide the visual instructions to your pickers with the same impact as paper without the cost and logistical disadvantages Once installed Pick-to-Tag is intuitive to use so it requires minimal training Communication to the Tags is 2-way and instantaneous When pickers complete a task yoursquoll know in real time
Reconfigure in 2 hours or lessShould you need to reconfigure your picking location to accommodate a just-in-time order or a just-in-sequence order you can accomplish this in a couple of hours or less Even if your reconfiguration is radical - for example from a supermarket to a lineside operation - you can handle it in an hour or two Thanks Panasonic IIoT
What are the most common systems for picking Pick-to-Paper is still the most common system with paper pick lists paper labels paper instructions Organizations that switch away from paper tell us that they were surprised to discover how much the paper and printing supporting their paper-based system actually cost Compared to a wireless solution paper is slower less accurate less flexible and less green
If you canrsquot reconfigure your warehouse supermarket or lineside pick in two hours be advised your competition can

Logiscend is designed to manage complex material flow applications while simply integrating with your existing processes and MES systems The Logiscend system collects the location and status information by individual container providing the factory floor visibility necessary to automate or re-direct workflows in real-time
Solving the most common cause of factory inefficiencyWe have worked with factories all over the world and found that the 1 problem impacting their output is the same ndash material flow management Machine uptime defective materials operator skilltraining or resource scheduling arenrsquot the biggest issues Itrsquos simply ldquogetting the right parts to the right place at the right time Logiscend was designed with this in mind
Too often the result is chaos on the factory floor by late afternoon Logiscend is the solution to those issues and more
bull Does production regularly come to a near-standstill as issues inevitably pile up
bull Do you often reassignreschedule routes for work in process
bull Do you manually track down containers to apply new instructions
bull Is managing the count sequence or status of your WIP inventory a challenge because itrsquos manual
bull Do you have teams of ldquorunners that are sent out to the floor to find specific containers for a job or inspection
ENTERPRISE VISUALIZATION
amp CONTROLLogiscend is a fully integrated system that includes all of the hardware and software you need to ensure complete end-to-end process visibility seamlessly fitting into your existing process The differentiating products are the visual display tags These display tags directly replace paper labels with wirelessly connected e-paper displays in a variety of sizes As with paper labels operators can see right on the container or assembly all handling instructions Unlike paper labels these visual tags and the assets on which they are placed can be tracked as they flow through the factory in real-time The Logiscend difference the displayed instruction can be changed at any time from anywhere as conditions merit Donrsquot just collect information ndash give workers the ability to act on it immediately
How Logiscend Works
Pick Locate gt Select gt RouteGetting the right parts to the right place at the right time in any factory starts with ensuring an accurate picking or kitting of those parts from the warehouse supermarket or line-side location Paper-based processes are highly error-prone and inefficient when it comes to ensuring the correct parts are located and selected manually by operators Wired Pick to Light systems are costly to install and difficult to reconfigure The Logiscend Pick Application ensures a cost-effective accurate and efficient process by providing visual cues and instruction for operators for each job with a wireless VIEW Tag on each bin rack or shelf
Replenishment Call gt Pick gt DeliverParts replenishment is a key function in any manufacturing operation The Logiscend Replenishment Application allows an operator to ldquocallrdquo for parts or services ndash by manually pressing a button on the VIEW tag automatically initiating a call via a flow rack switch or ordering parts with a tablet ndash and immediately receiving a response via a ldquocall sentrdquo message right on the tag The handler receives the message directly the delivery is then scheduled and an instruction is sent to the VIEW tag that the order has been picked Manager dashboards provide the visibility into calls picks and deliveries to ensure efficiency and opportunities for process improvement
Asset Tracking Find gt Count gt MeasureThe Panasonic Logiscend Asset Tracking Application is the smartest way for high-volume manufacturers to track count and record the status of assets access their history and flag them for repair and renewal This intelligent customizable industrial IoT solution eliminates manual inventory management costs tracks assets in real-time and generates reports for documentation and compliance
Work Instructions Instruct gt Route gt RecordEfficient process workflows are the key to ensuring a seamless operation The Logiscend Work Instructions Application provides the ability to send the appropriate instruction to a monitor in the work zone on the factory floor to instruct operators automatically what to build and how to build it ndash ensuring the correct instruction is always provided at the right workstation The Logiscend Work Instructions Application also provides the ability to send new instructions when issues arise or there is a change in production build
Smart Container Schedule gt Track gt OptimizeAs factories increasingly are being asked to respond in real time to more and more product options and customized product variations from consumers static paper labels guiding materials through the extended supply chain are unable to keep up Smart containers that can be tracked and redirected to respond automatically to this complexity telling operators what to do next are the answer The Logiscend solution provides an exponential leap forward in gaining full process control in our new connected world with self-directed ldquosmart containersrdquo Yoursquoll never lose another container or be short of crucial material again
More than 80 of errors are typically eliminated when visual instructions are present
gt20 of containers are reported lost annually costing companies millions of dollars
It was much easier than I thought to convert to the Panasonic Logiscend IIoT pick module Once the server and gateway were in place we reconfigured one warehouse picking site in a couple of hours and immediately pickers learned the system and were outperforming their previous efforts In the first week we learned more about the strengths and weaknesses of our Pick process than we ever knew We never looked back

Logiscend is designed to manage complex material flow applications while simply integrating with your existing processes and MES systems The Logiscend system collects the location and status information by individual container providing the factory floor visibility necessary to automate or re-direct workflows in real-time
Solving the most common cause of factory inefficiencyWe have worked with factories all over the world and found that the 1 problem impacting their output is the same ndash material flow management Machine uptime defective materials operator skilltraining or resource scheduling arenrsquot the biggest issues Itrsquos simply ldquogetting the right parts to the right place at the right time Logiscend was designed with this in mind
Too often the result is chaos on the factory floor by late afternoon Logiscend is the solution to those issues and more
bull Does production regularly come to a near-standstill as issues inevitably pile up
bull Do you often reassignreschedule routes for work in process
bull Do you manually track down containers to apply new instructions
bull Is managing the count sequence or status of your WIP inventory a challenge because itrsquos manual
bull Do you have teams of ldquorunners that are sent out to the floor to find specific containers for a job or inspection
ENTERPRISE VISUALIZATION
amp CONTROLLogiscend is a fully integrated system that includes all of the hardware and software you need to ensure complete end-to-end process visibility seamlessly fitting into your existing process The differentiating products are the visual display tags These display tags directly replace paper labels with wirelessly connected e-paper displays in a variety of sizes As with paper labels operators can see right on the container or assembly all handling instructions Unlike paper labels these visual tags and the assets on which they are placed can be tracked as they flow through the factory in real-time The Logiscend difference the displayed instruction can be changed at any time from anywhere as conditions merit Donrsquot just collect information ndash give workers the ability to act on it immediately
How Logiscend Works
Pick Locate gt Select gt RouteGetting the right parts to the right place at the right time in any factory starts with ensuring an accurate picking or kitting of those parts from the warehouse supermarket or line-side location Paper-based processes are highly error-prone and inefficient when it comes to ensuring the correct parts are located and selected manually by operators Wired Pick to Light systems are costly to install and difficult to reconfigure The Logiscend Pick Application ensures a cost-effective accurate and efficient process by providing visual cues and instruction for operators for each job with a wireless VIEW Tag on each bin rack or shelf
Replenishment Call gt Pick gt DeliverParts replenishment is a key function in any manufacturing operation The Logiscend Replenishment Application allows an operator to ldquocallrdquo for parts or services ndash by manually pressing a button on the VIEW tag automatically initiating a call via a flow rack switch or ordering parts with a tablet ndash and immediately receiving a response via a ldquocall sentrdquo message right on the tag The handler receives the message directly the delivery is then scheduled and an instruction is sent to the VIEW tag that the order has been picked Manager dashboards provide the visibility into calls picks and deliveries to ensure efficiency and opportunities for process improvement
Asset Tracking Find gt Count gt MeasureThe Panasonic Logiscend Asset Tracking Application is the smartest way for high-volume manufacturers to track count and record the status of assets access their history and flag them for repair and renewal This intelligent customizable industrial IoT solution eliminates manual inventory management costs tracks assets in real-time and generates reports for documentation and compliance
Work Instructions Instruct gt Route gt RecordEfficient process workflows are the key to ensuring a seamless operation The Logiscend Work Instructions Application provides the ability to send the appropriate instruction to a monitor in the work zone on the factory floor to instruct operators automatically what to build and how to build it ndash ensuring the correct instruction is always provided at the right workstation The Logiscend Work Instructions Application also provides the ability to send new instructions when issues arise or there is a change in production build
Smart Container Schedule gt Track gt OptimizeAs factories increasingly are being asked to respond in real time to more and more product options and customized product variations from consumers static paper labels guiding materials through the extended supply chain are unable to keep up Smart containers that can be tracked and redirected to respond automatically to this complexity telling operators what to do next are the answer The Logiscend solution provides an exponential leap forward in gaining full process control in our new connected world with self-directed ldquosmart containersrdquo Yoursquoll never lose another container or be short of crucial material again
More than 80 of errors are typically eliminated when visual instructions are present
gt20 of containers are reported lost annually costing companies millions of dollars
