Case Study: Ballard Power Systems achieves streamlined, mobile cloud manufacturing and real-time inventory visibility with RF-SMART

Ballard Streamlines Manufacturing Process in the Cloud

Ballard Power Systems, a world leader in proton exchange membrane fuel cell technology, needed to consolidate and modernize disparate systems and gain better visibility across operations. After selecting Oracle SCM Cloud as their centralized ERP, Ballard chose RF-SMART as the mobile inventory and manufacturing execution solution to bring simple barcode scanning and shop-floor data capture into their cloud environment.

RF-SMART integrated with Oracle SCM Cloud to deliver handheld-guided transactions, mobile receiving and shipping, on-demand label printing, and simple administration and training. The RF-SMART solution streamlined transactions, increased real-time visibility of material flow, enabled mobility across the warehouse, shortened training time, and—per Ballard—eliminated human error while saving staff time.
