Case Study: Contour achieves real-time production control and higher productivity with Datalogic PowerScan PM8300

Contour B.V. Relies on the Powerscan Imager for Effective Production Management

Contour B.V., a Netherlands-based manufacturer of thin sheet metal, needed to upgrade its production monitoring system. The challenge was to find a highly reliable and durable industrial scanner that could interface with its existing ERP software and provide user feedback. Partnering with Datalogic, the goal was to improve the tracking of materials and labor throughout the production and warehousing processes.

Datalogic implemented its PowerScan™ PM8300 imager along with its STAR Cordless System™ network technology. This solution provided the necessary ruggedness and real-time feedback for operators, allowing for precise tracking of products through every production phase and efficient inventory management. The results for Contour included increased factory productivity, complete control over all production stages with real-time information, and cost savings from better stock management.
