Clarity AGR™ - Automated Goods Receipt
The receiving of raw materials, assets and inventory at any enterprise can be the demanding process, particularly in a high-volume environment. Receiving errors, lack of inbound visibility and delivery reconciliation can be time consuming and slow down product availability and production throughput.
The Clarity AGR™ application is designed specifically for multi-stakeholder environments that include shippers, buyers and 3PL providers. By leveraging advanced RFID tagging, scanning and data management technologies, the solution eliminates latent error-prone information from the supply chain. By accounting for inventory at every touch-point, the solution delivers valuable shipping knowledge, eliminates friction between trading partners, and gives managers a keen competitive edge.
The Clarity AGR™ application bypasses the manual and error-prone receiving process, using RFID technology to enable goods receipt transactions to be automatically captured and transactions created into SAP MM. It supports lean and six sigma environments, and offers inventory management features found in warehouse management systems including the automatic put-away recommendations of receipts to specific warehouse or manufacturing staging locations. To support production environments, Clarity AGR™ can provide real-time availability of goods to the production line as they are received, eliminating receiving delays and reducing cycle times – the result is reduced inventory levels and greater throughput.
Clarity AGR™ is used in some of the most demanding production environments in the world:
- Streamlining inbound bulk raw material receiving and supporting a Kanban process in the lean manufacturing facilities of a leading global independent supplier of automotive electronics to the automotive OEM and aftermarket;
- Automating the receiving of high value IT assets at a top five U.S. financial services organization.
