Engineering Excellence: How Reva Industries Digitized their Stores with Barcode Technology -Barcode Material Issuance Engineering Stores
In the heavy engineering sector, managing thousands of small and large components—from helical gearboxes to specialized fasteners—is a massive challenge. Reva Industries Limited, one of India’s largest EOT crane manufacturers, solved this by partnering with Finsys ERP to implement a 100% Barcode-driven store management system.
With over 15 years of partnership with Finsys, Reva Industries has moved away from manual ledgers to a Real-Time Digital Twin of their engineering stores.
The Challenge: Complex Inventory & Manual Errors
Before automation, engineering stores often faced:
-
Wrong Item Issuance: For example, picking a 2-inch belt instead of a 4-inch belt due to human error.
-
Data Lag: A 24-hour delay between physical movement and system entry.
-
Stock Inaccuracy: Mismatches between physical bins and ERP records.
The Finsys Solution: Barcode-Driven Precision
The video demonstrates a live workflow at Reva Industries’ Faridabad plant:
1. Smart Tagging at Receipt (GRN)
Every component, upon arrival, is assigned a Finsys Barcode Label. This tag captures the Item Code, Date of Receipt, and Quantity. This creates an immediate “Birth Certificate” for the material.
2. Scan-to-Issue Workflow
When the production floor requests a part, the storekeeper simply scans the barcode on the bin. The system automatically:
-
Identifies the item correctly.
-
Validates it against the Bill of Materials (BOM).
-
Deducts the stock in real-time.
3. Real-Time Traceability
Because every movement is scanned, management can track the exact lifecycle of any component—from the supplier’s gate to the final assembly of a Jib crane.
Insights from Leadership
“The barcode system is not just about speed; it’s about accuracy. It ensures that the right material reaches the right machine at the right time, without any manual intervention.”
— Mr. Rohit Goel, Director, Reva Industries Ltd.
