One of the strengths of the Viewpoint Data Collection System is its License Plating capability. License Plating refers to the technique of distinguishing each product carton or item with a unique Serial Number. This Serial Number points to a profile record in Viewpoint which itemizes Part Number, Quantity, Inventory Status, Location, Lot Number and Creation Date.

Simply scanning a carton label, which contains the Serial Number in text and barcode form, allows Viewpoint to completely identify goods in transactions such as receive, move, production or shipping.

Advantages:

• Substantially reduces the number of scans necessary to enter a transaction since only one barcode must be scanned to identify all of the product information.
• Helps resolve lot issues using serial number and lot number traceability. Viewpoint determines what cartons in our facility are from a suspect lot number and tells us their serial numbers and location.
• Helps identify and correct the source of entry, productivity, and quality problems by isolating the "who, when, where" of transactions by serial number. Viewpoint isolates transactions related to a carton of material and tells us what transactions were performed, who performed the transactions and when and where the transactions were performed. This allows us to focus on inventory discrepancies at the carton level rather than the part level.
• Facilitates FIFO production usage and shipping. Viewpoint tells us which carton to use or ship and where to find it.
