The Solution:
The use of scanning solutions to record barrel movements provides managers with much greater control of their stocks and casks, increasing efficiency of warehouse processes, while also improving accuracy of stock data. DRAMScan is a cask scanning module for DRAMS, which runs on any wireless hand-held device, linking seamlessly with the core DRAMS system. Replacing paper-processes with barcodes and scanning devices means workers are able to work more effectively: they simply have to point and click to record cask locations, which means they can accurately scan thousands of casks per day. As soon as a cask is scanned on the warehouse floor, data is immediately uploaded to DRAMS via Wi-Fi, which provides managers with a more holistic overview of their stocks. Indeed, DRAMScan users can easily view any pending transactions, providing details of any casks that have failed validation, and a full transaction history. Additionally, when stock is selected for a blending operation or removal, the scanners act as a safety measure, ensuring the correct casks are removed. Using the DRAMScan module thus helps optimise spirit production, staff working processes and warehouse utilisation; saving organisations money, making staff happier, and helping consistently create high quality spirits that customers love.
