The Next Level of PULL Control

Classic planning boards provide good service when introducing the PULL principle. However, as companies grow, the demands on complexity and speed increase. This is precisely where IKS unfolds its full potential.

Unlimited Scalability

While wall space for manual boards is limited, with IKS you effortlessly control hundreds or thousands of Kanban control loops simultaneously without losing overview.

Real-Time Information Flow

Information no longer needs to be physically transported. Consumed materials report their requirements in real time and (when appropriate) completely automatically via IoT – directly and across departments to the e-Kanban board.

Informed Decisions

No more searching for orders, no more estimating priorities: With the e-Kanban board, you see in real time at all times what needs to be produced next, with the goal of 100% material availability and zero missing parts.

PRODUCTION KANBAN

The IKS e-Kanban Board

The heart of the production level. The IKS e-Kanban board replaces the classic manual Kanban board with an intelligent control center that can do far more than just display the status quo.

Real-Time Transparency

Inventory, Kanban orders, bottlenecks, potential problems, and production progress – all in real time and at a glance.

Dynamic Prioritization

The system prioritizes Kanban orders automatically, so it is always clear what needs to be produced next and with highest priority.

Maximum Process Reliability

No more incorrectly placed or lost Kanban cards – for a stable process according to the zero-defect principle.

TRANSPORT KANBAN & SMART LOGISTICS

The Seamless Connection to the Warehouse

When parts need to be delivered from the warehouse to the production Kanban supermarket, IKS ensures perfect flow. With modern extensions such as IoT sensors and e-labels, intralogistics becomes even smarter and more paperless.

The IKS ScanX Portal

The warehouse team sees in real time on tablets or screens which Kanbans need to be replenished. This enables targeted, transparent picking without delay.

IoT Sensors

Say goodbye to manual scanning. IoT sensors such as weight and distance sensors or roller conveyor switches detect withdrawals automatically and trigger the Kanban signal directly in IKS – completely without human intervention.

IKS e-Labels

Digital labels (e-labels) on supermarket shelves display article information, fill levels, and Kanban status automatically in real time – 100% paperless and always up to date. Kanban signals at the push of a button – no problem either.

The Fully Automated IoT Transport Cycle

1. Supermarket (Production)

Part withdrawn.
IoT sensor triggers the Kanban signal fully automatically.

2. IKS ScanX & Warehouse

Requirement appears in real time. Warehouse team picks the new material in a targeted manner.

3. JIT Replenishment

Material is back in the supermarket.
e-labels display the current status.
