Mitutoyo Automates Physical Inventory With Viewpoint for IFS
Mitutoyo America Corporation is the leading producer of metrology instruments. Metrology is the science of measurement. In industry, metrology instruments and systems are part of the quality assurance process involving a number of sophisticated hardware, optics, algorithms, software, and analysis systems. In respect to quality assurance, metrology plays an important role in this age of ISO-9001:2001 and other compliance related requirements. It tells a story about organizations’ manufacturing processes and the quality of their products.
For some companies the expense of owning metrology equipment is prohibitive and they may opt to outsource this procedure. However, regardless of whether a company decides to out-source or retain the measurement process in-house, the probability a Mitutoyo product is involved in the process, is high. Mitutoyo products are well known and respected around the world.
Maintaining accurate inventory of their sophisticated metrology products was a high priority for Mitutoyo’s Aurora, IL distribution facility. In the Fall of 2004 NEC Solutions America introduced Mitutoyo to Nutech Systems. Years of experience have made Nutech well-know in the industry for providing clients with first-rate suite of Auto ID solutions. Early 2004, Nutech became an IFS and NEC partner for barcode and RFID data collection systems.
Mitutoyo liked what they saw of Nutech’s Viewpoint for IFS solution and awarded Nutech the data collection project. Since going live at Mitutoyo, Viewpoint for IFS has improved inventory accuracy, is recording variances, building detailed reports, and providing front-end data collection of inventory and inventory adjustments for integration into IFS. At any one time, Mitutoyo can analyze the status of their entire inventory item-by-item simply, quickly, and in real time.
