A renowned automobile manufacturer’s warehouse in South Korea faced challenges with their manual barcode scanning and data entry process, which took 2.5 days to complete per shipment. Sensfix provided an all-in-one solution, the Sens-Facility Suite, that includes Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology. With the Sensfix app, employees can easily capture barcode photos, and the integrated AI recognizes the information encoded. This automated solution eliminates errors and reduces manual data entry time significantly.
The Challenge
In a major South Korean warehouse owned by a global automobile manufacturer, they were utilizing Honeywell’s business barcode scanner to individually scan each barcode. Packages would arrive in large volumes – with barcodes on each box. The employees would then scan the barcodes and manually input the information into a software system. The complete process, including scanning the barcodes, verifying inbound documents, and entering the data into their ERP software, typically took about 2.5 days for an average inbound consignment consisting of 3 palettes. The client’s problem was that this was a time-consuming and manual process – scanning and entering barcode information – taking 2.5 days. An automatic solution was sought that could reduce human error, improve efficiency, and save time by automating barcode scanning and data entry.
The Solution
Sensfix implemented the Sens-Facility suite, a powerful service management platform, to address these challenges head-on. In this case, the team utilized Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology, enabling employees to capture photos of the barcodes quickly. The advanced AI integrated within the app promptly recognizes the information encoded in the barcodes. It then efficiently organizes the data, allowing the employee to effortlessly update the corresponding sheet with the scanned information. This solution not only eliminates the possibility of human errors, but also significantly reduces the time required for manual data entry.
