We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Inventory Management",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Tooling storage controlled intelligently from
Zeroshift, which we summarised at the time by saying "Modular controller offers the ability to custom build intelligent tool control into a multitude of tool storage systems and eliminate loss of tooling".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Tool vending operates automatically from
WNT (UK): "Tool vending service operates without unnecessary manual intervention, ensures the correct tools are in stock at all times, thereby improving productivity".
In August 2007, we covered the news from XeBusiness
concerning its CRM, inventory management
- take a look at Workwear maker adds CRM, inventory management
which says: "Manufacturer of specialist workwear is installing a business management system to help manage their customer relationship management, inventory control and sourcing operations".
Take a look also at the news release from Infor, SRM software makes inventories transparent,
as well as Radio frequency identification for stock control from Crown Lift Trucks,
and Increased efficiency with RedPrairie WMS from RedPrairie.
