If your front-line supervisors are wasting too much time trying to dynamically schedule, expedite and plan operations so that customer orders get shipped, delivered, or installed on time them you need WIPtracker.

If your shop-floor employees or material handlers, or even worse your supervisors, are spending way too much time filling in paper forms, Excel spread sheets, or keying data into ERP systems just to that you have the data you need to  to manage your operations in time, then you need WIPtracker.

WIPtracker^™ enables operations managers and their staff to efficiently manage operations in a single manufacturing plant or industrial distribution warehouse or a widely separated network of such sites.

WIPtracker uses a collection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies to eliminate much of the time wasted collecting data on the shop floor or in the warehouse as well as much of the time wasted by managers and their staff in performing "intelligent grunt work" to analyze this data  and turn it into actionable decisions.

At a practical level, WIPtracker is an affordable, integrated work-in-process tracking, warehouse management, and manufacturing execution system. WIPtracker  also performs job and materials and tracking, and traceability data collection and can automatically exchange data with a wide-variety of ERP and accounting systems.

This all comes in one small ruggedized Windows IOT (Internet-of-Things) enterprise-based computer, which is shipped with all the needed software, ready to plug into your local area network and start collecting data.

WIPtracker uss intelligent-agent technologies to automatically integrate data from a wide-range of ERP, accounting, CRM and other front office systems and convert these into actionable work and shipping orders for each plant or warehouse.

Alternately it can be used with SmartOps24x7 to integrate operations across multiple, geographically distributed manufacturing plants and warehouses with  the ERP, accounting, CRM and other systems used by your front-office people.

WIPtracker comes with a web-browser interface enabling data capture with a wide variety of mobile data collection devices, as well as on PCs and tablets equipped with barcode scanners, without needing to load any special software on these devices.

WIPtracker can also print out custom barcode labels on demand on a wide variety of barcode label printers and automatically collect tracking data using RFID and from weighing scales. WIPtracker uses rules-based software which can be easily tailored for a wide variety of applications.

In addition to which clients can easily write and upload Python scripts to generate Email alerts when certain events happen or to send routine reports by Email to specific people on a routine basis or when specific situations arise. These scripts can also be used to exchange data with the REST interfaces of a wide-variety of other systems

The software used by WIPtracker has been used for tracking jobs and materials in a wide variety of manufacturing and distribution applications in such verticals as metal working, plastics, textiles, defense, aerospace, food, pharmaceuticals and construction.

Most important WIPtracker is affordable and rapidly pays for itself by eliminating the need for intelligent grunt work, such as filling out paper forms or Excel spreadsheets or manually keying data into multiple different computer systems.

WIPtracker is also ideal for those organizations that need to comply with FDA and DOD regulations for materials tracking and traceability. It is essential for any organization that needs to track individually dimensioned rolls of material.

As well as tracking the flow of materials through manufacturing plants WIPtracker is ideal for those distribution warehouses that need to track secondary operations such as assembly, relabeling and kitting and for construction organizations that need to perform operations on materials before shipment to site.
