Tricel: ERP Shop Floor Solution
VisionID supplied and implemented a tailored intelligent solution for Tricel that put real-time tracking, planning and control directly to the shop floor, working to maximise the plant’s performance.
The Challenge Tricel Faced
Due to high manufacturing demands, a crucial part of managing operations for Tricel is data entry for visibility and traceability of production. Tricel’s existing pre-system was a time-consuming process. The company wanted to eliminate paperwork in their plants and introduce an ERP system which would allow for a real-time view of operations.

The Solution
VisionID provided a customised solution from Advantech delivering 21 inch, IP66 rated Panel PC’s built to the company’s requirements. The decision was also made to provide a wireless solution to eliminate expensive cabling costs.
Using a variety of Ergotron mounting brackets and arms, the Advantech Panel PC’s got mounted to each work station in the plant where the touch screen is utilised to log data, allowing for real-time production visibility. The screens only made part of the solution, as VisionID also deployed a Zebra print and scan warehouse solution using the MC9200 and GX420T, for tracking finished product.
The Result
Data integrity is no longer a concern as the operator enters it into the ERP on the shop floor. Following the implementation of VisionID’s solution and the new ERP system; Tricel increased production due to time saved from searching for data.

SureTraceID is easy to integrate and to use. In short it just works!
