Our Products
Ekanban is a continuous innovation movement
With the aim of offering a complete solution to the market, ekanban provides all the necessary products for the system´s operation. Among them, the labelling system, the hardware to detect the consumptions in real time, the software to visualize the state of the references, advanced forecasting algorithms and the option to integrate ekanban with third-party ERP systems. Besides, ekanban is in constant process of development and innovation, so to offer the most advanced solutions to the market.
PRINTING AND TAGGING
For the ekanban system to work correctly, one of the most important factors is the printing and tagging of the material. Depending on the solution chosen, ekanban has different options:
- Tags with QR
- RFID tags
HARDWARE
In order for ekanban to work, it is essential that customers inform their suppliers of their consumption in real time.How?The supplier identifies the material using QR or RFID system tags. The customer reads the labels for each consumption. There are two different ways to take the reading:In the case of the QR system, the customer reads the code using a Smartphone.In the case of the RFID system, the reading is automatic by means of the RFID antennas.
VIEWING SOFTWARE
he ekanban viewing software is an application that offers its users the possibility to view the general status of all items at a glance, as well as the status of each of the ekanban items.
PREDICTIVE ALGORITHMS
Ekanban develops advanced forecasting algorithms based on current predictive techniques and some techniques which are in beta phase (Arima, Deep LSTM, LSTM, etc.) in order to obtain forecasts of the consumption to be made before it occurs, trying to establish patterns of consumption behaviour and thus raise the degree of accuracy of the predictions.
EKANBAN – ERP INTEGRATION
A web service has been developed to be integrated into customers' ERPs using XML files. The goal is to minimise user interaction and use their ERP data to achieve an integration with ekanban. To do this, ekanban generates XML files with the consumption and shares them with the supplier in an FTP server. The supplier automatically integrates the data into its ERP, and when sending the material, another XML is generated that is also integrated into ekanban (thus converting the consumption into material that is in preparation).
