Solution We Provided

In response to Chicago Group’s needs, we developed a comprehensive Supply Chain Management (SCM) System that effectively automated the inventory and product scanning processes. The solutions provided were as follows:

Web App Panel for Inventory Request at All Hubs:

We developed a user-friendly web application that allows Chicago Group’s various hubs to place inventory requests efficiently.

Web App Admin Panel for Supply Chain In-charge:

To centralize control and ensure seamless coordination, we designed a secure web-based admin panel for the supply chain in-charge. This panel allows the in-charge to monitor inventory levels, track requests from different hubs, and optimize stock movement across the warehouses.

Desktop App for All Conveyor Belts with PLC Controller Device:

To enhance the accuracy of product barcode scanning at the conveyor belt, we developed a dedicated desktop application integrated with Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) devices. The PLC-based scanning system ensures that each product’s barcode is scanned correctly before shipment, minimizing errors and preventing incorrect product deliveries.

Security:

Recognizing the importance of data security and privacy, we implemented robust security measures in the SCM system. Access controls, encryption, and authentication mechanisms were put in place to safeguard sensitive information and ensure that only authorized personnel could access critical data.
