Solving Industrial Inventory & WIP Tracking Problems

The purpose of the BellHawk^® software is to solve those tough inventory and WIP tracking problems that cannot be readily solved using conventional inventory tracking systems, including ERP and warehouse management systems. Such systems use item locator methods, in which they simply track the quantity of each item number at each location, in each warehouse or other industrial location.

BellHawk, by contrast, tracks the flow of containers of material through manufacturing plants, warehouses, and other industrial organizations. It does this by putting a unique tracking barcode and/or RFID tag on each container and then scanning these tags whenever materials are received, put-away, transformed into products, picked, packed and shipped.

This is similar in principle to how FedEx, UPS, and Amazon track containers of material in their supply chain.

Tracking containers of material may or may not be more complicated than simply recording the quantity of materials in stock at each location. It does, however, enable the BellHawk software platform to be used to solve some difficult inventory tracking problems, which cannot be solved using item locator methods.
