The IKS Web-Kanban Interface can be used for internal as well as for external process handling!!
Internal - as Scan & print Station and as Monitor
Nearly each PC in your company can be used as a Scan Station without any installation needed. Simply start your Standard Browser, if you like, then additionally connect a standard Plug and Play USB Scanner and you are already able to scan your cards with the IKS Web-Interface and manage and control your Inventory.
External - Link suppliers via Internet
There are different ways to include external suppliers in a Kanban system. Kanban signals can be transferred via fax, email or via Internet. Fax and email is an IKS standard since a long time. Since 2007 it is also possible to use the Internet to involve the suppliers into the existing Kanban system.
The new IKS Web-Kanban Interface offers the possibility to provide all required supplier information and to design the processes very easy, transparent and fast.
The benefits of „Web-Kanban“ are
- having the option to do scans also externally, especially the possibility of multiscans, this means setting Kanbans “In Transport” by just one single click.
- Easy sending of Kanban signals
- Easy and clear defined processes for the supplier and customer
- A high degree of visualization about the required Kanbans and which parts must be delivered (a main benefit also for the supplier)
- The possibility to print Kanban cards on demand and to reduce the manual handling of faxes or emails
- Visualization of the Kanbans that will be delivered by the supplier on customer side
- Visualization of the Kanbans which are in production at the supplier side
- Priorization of the Kanban orders at the supplier side
