One platform to handle all material flow

Getting the right parts to the right place at the right time in any factory starts with ensuring an accurate picking or kitting of those parts from the warehouse, line-side or other “shopping” location. With the Panasonic Logiscend Pick Application, we can bring your process into the IoT future.

Paper-based processes are highly error-prone and inefficient when it comes to ensuring the correct parts are located and selected manually by operators. Pick-to-light systems are time-consuming to install and expensive to reconfigure. The Logiscend Pick Application ensures an accurate and efficient process by providing visual cues and instruction for operators for each job with a wireless visual tag at the pick location. Talk to our team for full details.

Standard work: No training or re-training necessary

This simple and intuitive system includes visual indicators and instruction right on the visual display tag, and requires little to no training — providing for ease of system and/or new operator deployment.

  • Screen instructions automatically direct operator of pick quantity and location
  • Eliminates need for hand-held equipment or fixed readers

Visual factory: Real-time instruction and indicators for operators

The Logiscend Pick Application improves the communication of information and the accuracy of
the process.

  • Visual tags provide 2-way communication with both visual instruction and operator feedback to confirm the pick
  • Address process issues in real-time with dynamic instructions

Re-configurable, simple wireless deployment

Logiscend requires no wired infrastructure. Unlike complex pick-to-light options, the Logiscend Pick Application provides simple installation and is re-configurable where you need it — when you need it.

  • Easily create temporary Pick locations based on demand and volume
  • No hard-wired infrastructure is required, allowing for line rebalancing

Monitor KPIs: Manager dashboards

Dashboards provide pick rates, delivery metrics and alerts to optimize process performance in real-time.

  • Analyze bottlenecks to improve throughput
  • Balance processes and eliminate waste (Muda)
  • Connects easily to existing ERP/MES/WMS systems

Logiscend combines the strengths of RF picking, visual logistics, and traditional pick-to-light systems to improve accuracy to 99.97%.

We have worked hard to build a common platform for enterprise manufacturing. We believe that the Logiscend system creates a new paradigm for the manufacturing process:

  • The visual cues of paper labels — without the paper
  • The tracking capabilities of passive and active RFID — enhanced with two-way communication
  • The powerful Panasonic IIoT software platform to enable the digitization and manufacturing optimization of Industry 4.0.

And at the end of the shift, your assets will be in the right place at the right time to position your factory for even greater success.
