Why Logiscend?
Rapid Installation and Integration
The Logiscend material flow management solution is easy to install, configure and fit into your budget. Panasonic has done the hard work up front — creating the Logiscend software platform with integrated hardware — so specifying and installing the entire system for your plant is both fast and easy, compared to custom-built solutions.
We take pride in our unique ability to get the material flow management system online quickly, keeping your downtime to the bare minimum. The Logiscend solution integrates seamlessly into your plant's IT infrastructure, and the system’s wireless capability makes reconfiguring the lines a snap, reducing downtime even further. Once the first system is in place, additional systems are even easier to install, allowing you to stretch your budget further. Find out how long your system installation will take.
Improve workforce accuracy
Our research into plant productivity trends shows that worker turnover is affecting production, and new worker training is consuming valuable time and resources.
With Logiscend, your workforce will benefit from interactive displays, dynamic instructions, and ease of use — with low to little training required. Your bottom line will benefit from reduction in errors, improved production, and significantly reduced training time. See how the Logiscend Kitting applications improved worker efficiency.
Better visibility to your assets and processes
Ditch the paper labels and enter the world of Industry 4.0. Logiscend is a data-driven system, and data is the key to Industry 4.0. Our constantly evolving software and active/passive RFID technology — such as the interactive, paperless display tags — allow full advantage of location-aware assets with visibility over multiple production years.
Our Replenishment solution responds to missing and broken parts — a true just-in-sequence solution — and the threshold alerts eliminate the need to have workers walking the line to check inventory. Our Asset Tracking and Smart Container applications provide visibility of material throughout the entire manufacturing process, allowing you to trace assets and containers over time, and benefit from automatic data collection. The Logiscend system can help your company save substantially in missing parts and extra labor by streamlining your operations, reducing waste and optimizing labor.
Reduce the complexity in your factories
Enterprise manufacturing facilities have too many moving parts to easily accommodate multiple custom applications from small integrators. Panasonic can help with Logiscend: one reliable platform for material flow management which includes hardware, software, and the engineering services to provide the best solution for your specific needs.
One platform means that all of the lines in the factory and all of the factories in your network can be integrated on one software platform, with easy-to-use dashboard metrics at line level and seamless integration with your corporate ERP/MES system. One platform means less work for your IT Department, and less training required for your workforce. One platform means a win for Industry 4.0 manufacturing optimization — especially since it is supported by the engineering prowess of one of the most respected companies in the world. Panasonic is reinventing the factory with deep system expertise, legendary reliability and Logiscend. See how one platform can benefit your factory.
