Manufacturing Applications of BellHawk

BellHawk is ideally suited for those mid-sized manufacturers who want to use barcodes to track both their inventory and their production operations in real-time.

BellHawk Tracks:

1. Raw, intermediate, WIP and finished good inventory
2. Receiving and put away of raw materials
3. Customer orders and jobs/batches
4. Consumption of labor and materials on jobs
5. Production and put away of intermediate and finished goods
6. Machinery and equipment used in production operations
7. Picking, packing and shipping of finished goods

BellHawk is especially suited to those applications where:

1. Manufacturing and distribution is done in multiple units of measure
2. Lot and serial numbers and related quality control data need to be tracked
3. Inventory and WIP cost data has to be fed to an ERP or financial system.
4. Data has to be collected in a physically demanding environment, often with a lot of electrical interference from heavy machinery.
5. Integration with weighing scales and other test and process equipment is required.
6. Business processes that require a customized approach to data collection.

A major benefit of BellHawk is that it can use a mix of PCs equipped with low-cost barcode scanners and wireless mobile data collection devices. The wireless data collection devices use the BellHawk BSAF technology which enables reliable operation in industrial environments with many communications dead zones and interference from industrial machinery.

BellHawk Systems has made a major investment in tools that enable the rapid integration of BellHawk with a wide range of ERP, accounting and CRM systems. These interfaces enable BellHawk to automatically exchange data with these systems.

BellHawk is scalable from tracking operations in a small machine shop to tracking operations that span many manufacturing plants and distribution warehouses.

BellHawk Systems has invested in the development of a set of software modules that enables BellHawk Systems to rapidly and cost-effectively configure and deliver a wide range of barcode tracking and mobile data collection solutions working out-of-the box. We can deliver your solution in a few days and, if needed, in less than 24 hours. These systems can then be tailored to the specific business needs of each client.

For manufacturers, all the production, inventory and tracking and traceability benefits of BellHawk apply and are also a major factor in the purchase of a BellHawk system.
