What is digital C-parts management?
Digital C-parts management automates the procurement and management of small parts using sensor-based demand identification and electronic Kanban systems. The solution eliminates manual ordering processes and creates end-to-end transparency from consumption to delivery.
Intelligent automation of your C-parts procurement
- Sensor-based demand identification using weighing scales or smart label buttons
- Automatic order triggering to suppliers or the central purchasing department
- Real-time visualisation of stock levels and order status
- Integration of all suppliers in a manufacturer-neutral platform
Product features and benefits in brief
Achieve maximum efficiency and save money by managing your C-parts supply
100% integration of all suppliers
All C-parts suppliers and reference lines are consolidated on a single platform.
This means no longer being dependent on the proprietary systems of individual providers.
70% reduction in process costs
Significant reduction of procurement costs through automated ordering processes. Manual work involved in stock control and ordering is completely eliminated.
100% paperless processes
Fully digital processing without Kanban cards or order forms. All information is processed and archived electronically.
Zero production downtime due to missing parts
Continuous material availability through proactive reordering. Critical C-parts are always available in sufficient quantities.
Real-time dashboard for all stocks
Complete transparency of consumption and order status at a glance. Data-based decision-making for stock optimisation.
ROI in less than 6 months
Rapid return on investment through automation and cost savings. The investment pays for itself within the first six months.
How does digital C-parts management work?
Digital C-parts management is based on the intelligent combination of sensor technology, smart labels and the el/ka/sy platform. Weighing scales or sensors on the containers continuously record product retrieval and report back to the central system. When stock levels fall below defined minimum levels, orders are automatically generated.
The el/ka/sy platform coordinates all processes from demand identification and order placement to goods receipt posting. Smart labels display stock status and order details directly at the storage position. Seamless integration into ERP systems ensures consistent data transparency.
Digital C-parts management with sensor technology, smart labels and the el/ka/sy platform features
- Sensors for automated recording of material consumption
- Smart labels for visualising stock level status and order details
- el/ka/sy platform serving as a central control unit for all processes
- Interfaces to suppliers for direct electronic order placement
- Integration with ERP systems to ensure end-to-end processes and data transparency
Automated reordering in four steps
- Identify stock levels
As soon as stock levels fall below a defined value, order pickers press the refill button. - Trigger replenishment order
The system automatically initiates the ordering process. - Real-time status report
Order and delivery information is displayed immediately. - Reliable supply
The process works reliably and ensures continuous material availability.
Where are mobile device management systems used?
C-parts management optimises the supply of small parts across all industries
Production and assembly
Uninterrupted supply of screws, nuts and small parts to assembly lines. Automated reordering prevents expensive production downtime.
Maintenance and service
Optimised stocking of spare parts and consumables for maintenance. Critical components are always available when needed.
Logistics and dispatch
Efficient management of packaging materials and shipping accessories. Automated reordering ensures smooth shipping processes.
Wholesale and retail trade and workshops
Digital management of retail goods and workshop supplies. Optimum inventory management based on data analysis.
Automated reordering when the ‘almost empty’ message appears
When a container reaches the ‘almost empty’ status, the system automatically reports the declining stock level to the central platform. The sensor-based detection immediately triggers a replenishment order without the need for manual intervention. This keeps the material flow steady, prevents bottlenecks and ensures the continuous supply of C-parts.
Your added value
Digitising your C-parts management means you are no longer dependent on individual suppliers and enjoy maximum flexibility in procurement. Automating all routine processes also allows your employees to focus on value-adding activities. End-to-end transparency across all inventories and stock level recording enables continuous optimisation and saves costs. Benefit from a future-proof solution that grows with your requirements and adapts flexibly to changing conditions.
The open, neutral platform ensures independence from suppliers
Lower capital commitment as a result of optimised stock levels
No waste of materials and resources thanks to demand-based procurement
Scalable solution for growing requirements
