BellHawk Systems provides barcode Work-in-Process tracking systems for manufacturers and other industrial organizations.
These low-cost and simple-to-use Work-in-Process tracking systems enable organizations to transition from using paper forms and manual keyboard data entry to using barcode scanning to track their Work-in-Process data in real-time.
These systems enable managers to see the status of jobs and customer orders in real-time as well as capturing the labor and elapsed time taken for each operation on each work order.
This information can be viewed in real-time anywhere there is an Internet connection on PCs, tablets, and smart phones. It can also be printed as reports or exported to Excel for subsequent analysis.
Work-in-Process tracking data can be captured on PCs equipped with barcode scanners, mobile computers with integral barcode scanners, or touch-screen tablets with Bluetooth connected barcode scanners.
BellHawk includes:
Simple Materials Tracking capabilities that can be used to track work-in-process as it moves from work station to work station with a single scan of a barcode.
Simple Production Tracking capabilities that track the status of work orders for batches or individual products in real-time and the labor expended on each operation as well as the quantity produced.
Integrated Real-Time Operations Tracking capabilities that track inventory, work-in-process, work orders, and labor. This includes tracking materials produced and consumed by operations and uses BOMs to guide operators and prevent mistakes.
BellHawk is designed for license-plate materials tracking and can be used to track the movement of work-in-process materials that have their own tracking barcode or are in a container, such as a tote, with a tracking barcode.
This includes dynamic real-time scheduling of batches or individual products as they travel through a sequence of operations, as well as capturing the labor time taken to perform the operations. It records when each operation starts and finishes.
BellHawk includes sophisticated work-in-process tracking capabilities such as tracking work-in-process inventory, handling split and merged batches, tracking machine times, as well as capturing materials traceability and activity-based-costing data.
