This unrivaled and complete integration makes PalletWorks an ideal solution for increasing production accuracy and simplifying tasks at the end of the line, all through a single vendor. PalletWorks manages the order fulfillment process by automatically recording each item created on the production line, printing and applying a customizable label to the packaging, verifying that the label is human and machine readable, tracking the pallet the new item was stacked upon, and then synchronizing production data with the ERP system.Operation can be fully automated and managed through the PalletWorks portal, a web-based interface for viewing and managing production data.
