Inventory Management for Precast Concrete

Turn year-end crunch into control with better inventory counts for precast concrete manufacturers

What is inventory management with inventory counts?

It is taking your cycle counts from 4 days to 4 hours

Tested by precasters

Many precast concrete manufacturers shut down their plants and halt production in order to perform inventory counts. We’ve tested this new inventory software with precasters and learned that they estimate this will reduce their inventory counts from 4 days down to 4 hours. By keeping track of product digitally you increase efficiency throughout the entire plant.

Made for precasters

There are so many ways this benefits producers:

  • Multi-scanning products in real-time

  • See what’s found, missing, and unexpected

  • Perform audits at any time

  • Reduce time and increase accuracy when counting

  • Maintain accurate inventory and waste tracking

Watch how easy precast inventory is

Manually performing inventory counts results in plant shutdowns with an all hands on deck approach that leads to loss productivity and inaccuracies.

How inventory tracking and control works

A clear plastic case containing an identification badge with a barcode, some text, and a logo with a person aiming a gun. The badge reads 'idencia' and includes a serial number, patent number, and other technical information.

RFID Tags

All products must have a RFID tag. RFID tags provide unique serial numbers to each individual product and can be associated with that product’s unique data.
