HOW DOES PAPERLESS PRODUCTION WORK?
THE PROCESS:
These are the steps for SEAL Systems’ Digital Factory solution for Paperless Production when SAP production jobs are automatically triggered on a regular interval:
- Paperless Production collects the job details with operations, tasks, and all needed documents.
- The staff receives the job list with all items and can then go off-line with mobile devices.
- When the job is completed at the workstation, build quantity is entered, and scrap totals are recorded.
- The employee then confirms the job and submits the finished details.
- Paperless Production returns the details to SAP, where the production order is finalized.
All within the same workflow as before, our software extends SAP functionality digitally to the plant floor.
