PALMS™ WIPTrack (WIP Inventory Tracking)

Products

PALMS™ WIPTrack (Work-in-Progress Inventory Tracking) is a comprehensive digital solution by Technoforte Software Pvt. Ltd. designed to streamline production and inventory visibility across multiple operational stages.
The system enables seamless management of WIP processes — from material inflow and allocation to progress tracking, quality control, and output readiness. PALMS™ WIPTrack delivers automation, real-time visibility, shift-level planning, inventory control, and advanced analytics across all ongoing operations.

Key Features Across Releases

– Core warehouse and WIP operations such as SKU management, material inflow, process allocation, and movement tracking.
– Lot creation and tracking, workflow mapping across intermediate stages, inter-process transfers and container or pallet visibility.
– Shift-wise reporting, material-on-hold visibility, rejection logs, WIP summaries, inventory and reconciliation reports.
– Production control with pattern sequencing, live dashboards, and advanced planning based on efficiency, cycle time, throughput, safety stock and planned downtime.

Business Workflows

The PALMS™ WIPTrack platform supports modular, configurable, and traceable workflows:
– Material Inflow: Invoice mapping, handheld scans, tag and Kanban-based traceability, quality-based routing to storage or hold zones.
– Process Allocation & Movement: Controlled transfer of WIP items between storage, work areas, and processing stations using handheld terminals.
– WIP Tracking: Consumption and progress recording, multiple BOM handling, and lot-wise process traceability.
– Inter-Stage Transfers: Output from one stage moved to the next process or storage area; deviations or defects logged automatically.
– Quality & Rework Flows: Items routed to quality check or rework zones with FIFO logic and full transaction traceability.

Advanced Planning & Scheduling

PALMS™ WIPTrack offers a dynamic planning and control interface integrated with:
– Pattern Uploads: BOM-wise daily plans, efficiency calculations, and activity-level time estimates.
– Shift-Based Planning: A/B/C shifts, shift groups, overtime, and break hours factored into planning and scheduling.
– Auto-Generated Orders: Based on production quantity updates, lot tracking requirements, and safety stock thresholds.
– Live Control Panel: Functions for skip, queue, discontinue, and drag-and-drop sequencing to enable real-time agility.

Data Mastering & Computed Logic

PALMS™ WIPTrack uses configurable rules and computed logic to derive actionable insights:
– SKU Master, BOM Type, and Process definitions
– Pattern interpretation: cycle time, lot size, stage efficiency
– Computed parameters: changeover time, trigger hours, setup wait time, Kanban counts
– Material and part reconciliation, return summaries, and rejection analysis
All parameters are derived from flexible master data and configurable rules.

Reporting & Visualisation

A powerful reporting engine provides dashboards with insights such as:
– Material Ordered vs Received
– Material On Hold
– WIP Summary and Rejections by process or stage
– Rework Returns, Bad Lot Inventory, Empty Containers
– Material Reconciliation with variance and loss tracking
Reports include filters by model, material, shift, and part number for granular analytics.

Key Benefits

– Real-time visibility into all WIP and production activities
– Shift-wise, part-wise, and SKU-wise tracking
– Transparent stock, quality, and rework management
– Predictive planning and performance optimization
– Improved efficiency through automation, error reduction, and user-specific dashboards
