In bookkeeping management such as Excel, there is a frequent occurrence of mistakes in quantity counts by borrower, making it a challenging issue to achieve accurate quantity management.

The pallet management system "PACSPLUS" utilizes a chameleon code that allows for lending and returning via smartphone cameras. In logistics work environments, it can be easily implemented with just a smartphone app installation, and the app features a simple operation and a screen design with large text, making it user-friendly for everyone. Since everything is researched and developed in-house, we can support a smooth IT implementation project from proposal to installation and maintenance. 〈We solve the following issues!〉 - It takes too much time to confirm the number of pallets lent and returned and manage the records. - Due to total quantity management rather than individual management, the lending data does not match the return data, causing difficulties in matching the inventory. 【Case Studies of Implementing Companies】 The following case studies can be downloaded from this page. ---- Industry: Food ingredient manufacturing Company Name: Mitsui Sugar Co., Ltd.

Link multiple inventory information such as current stock of part types, forecasted stock for returns, and planned stock for collection to the instructions, and utilize it for production/logistics planning.

The pallet management system "PACSPLUS" links multiple inventory information such as current stock of pallet types, scheduled return stock, and stock pending collection to instructions, making it a system that can be utilized for production and logistics planning. In the production management system, it is necessary to understand the effective inventory of type-specific pallets at the time of production completion or shipment. To grasp the effective inventory count, this system calculates forecast inventory information on when and how many type-specific pallets will be available for use, and merges this data with current inventory information to relay it to the production management side. By linking this information, it becomes possible to anticipate the number of pallets needed at the time of production completion or shipment in advance, allowing operations to continue without stopping the line. <We solve the following issues!> - There is a lack of understanding of type-specific pallet container information, leading to a shortage of pallets at the time of production completion or shipment, which can result in line stoppages.

The challenges of managing barcodes and QR codes that can only be scanned one at a time, resulting in a heavy workload for management, are solved by the Chameleon Code, which allows for the simultaneous recognition of multiple codes.

The pallet management system "PACSPLUS" adopts a chameleon code that allows for high-speed, multiple batch reading. It enables the scanning of multiple pallets at once using a smartphone camera, leading to a reduction in labor hours. Since everything is researched in-house and developed 100% in-house, we can support a smooth IT implementation project system from proposal to introduction and maintenance. 〈We solve the following issues!〉 - Facing labor challenges with the current system that can only scan one item at a time. - Implemented a barcode/QR reading system but could not continue operations. - Developed a system in-house that can scan multiple codes, but there are instances of duplicate scans due to reading errors, resulting in mismatched quantities. 【Case Studies of Implementing Companies】 The following case studies can be downloaded from this page. -- Industry: Food ingredient manufacturing Company Name: Mitsui Sugar Co., Ltd.

You can easily link the shipping pallets and the loaded products/items with a smartphone app. Detailed information about the invoices is compatible with data integration between systems.

The pallet management system "PACSPLUS" is a system that allows for the registration of the linkage between the barcode/QR code printed on the slip at the time of pallet rental and the chameleon code label attached to the pallet. By using the chameleon code for multiple pallets on the target slip, you can link them all at once through a single scan. Since everything is researched and 100% developed in-house, we can support a smooth IT implementation project from proposal to introduction and maintenance. 〈We solve the following issues!〉 - Unable to manage traceability because the rental pallets cannot be linked with the slip information. - While the pallets and slips are linked, each pallet is scanned individually during the linking process. 【Case Studies of Implementing Companies】 The following case studies can be downloaded from this page. ---- Industry: Agricultural business Company Name: National Agricultural Cooperative Federation (Abbreviation: Zennoh, JA Zennoh) Managed Container: Plastic pallets specifically for food distribution (Type 11)---- If you have any concerns regarding pallet management, please feel free to contact us.

The inventory statuses that companies want to manage differ, and it is often a challenge that the inventory statuses that can be managed for standard packaged products are fixed.

The pallet management system "PACSPLUS" is a system that allows for bulk scanning and updating of multiple inventory statuses using a chameleon code. It can be utilized not only during lending and returning but also for updating the status to disposal during inventory checks, or for bulk scanning to update the status of pallets before cleaning to a pre-cleaning status. We have received many inquiries about wanting to implement this system not for pallet management purposes, but for inventory management purposes. 〈We solve the following issues!〉 - It takes too much time to manage the status updates of pallet inventory. - The current system cannot add inventory status categories, making it unable to respond to changes in the business environment or operational changes. 【Introduction of case studies from implementing companies】 The following case studies can be downloaded from this page. ---- Industry: Agricultural business Company name: Zennoh Pearl Rice Co., Ltd.
