Implementation
Challenges/Issues
In the warehouse, mis-sorting occurred oftentimes as there were a lot of similar parts that were
visibly unrecognizable.
Needed the system can be easily followed without deep knowledge and
experience in order for the customer to standardize the warehousing processes.
Why SKE product was chosen.
We manufacture various kinds in small quantities of products, and we were looking for wireless
picking tags.
Also SKE’s are equipped with solar batteries so that no battery changes are
required and less hassle, which was one of the key factors for us to implement SKE’s tags.

implementation
How the issue was solved and its procedures.
Outcomes
Able to use both hands as the reader/writer and antenna are on the cart. No
confusions while working with multiple operators as there are 7 light patterns.
Picking time
was reduced. Instead of visually search the parts, lights notify which part needs to be picked
in the efficient order.
Almost no picking mistake, and it leaded to production efficiency
with improving working environment.
After completing the implementation.
Voice of Customer
Not only improved work efficiency but also reduced time spending for training.
Internally, we
will expand the implementation to other departments that requested to see the system.
