Welch's to automate order fulfillment processes
Welch's, a leading producer of juices, jams and jellies, said today that it will immediately deploy ClearOrbit's Geminilinks mobile software solution for Oracle Process Manufacturing (OPM). Welch's said it selected ClearOrbit to improve inventory accuracy, labor efficiency and order fulfillment processes across six company-owned and 15 third-party production and warehousing locations nationwide.

According to SDCE, Gemini for OPM will allow users at Welch's and third-party locations to use mobile radio frequency (RF) scanners to record key transactions such as receiving, inventory movements, production batch operations, quality control and shipping directly on the shop floor. By capturing data immediately at the point of origin, Welch's said it hopes to reduce errors and increase data quality, while allowing improved supply chain operations and inventory management.

ClearOrbit explained that Gemini for OPM integrates directly to the Oracle data model, in real-time, using standard Oracle Application Program Interfaces (APIs). This approach leverages all of the setups, tolerances and profiles already defined in Welch's initial Oracle deployment, minimizing implementation, training and ongoing support costs. More importantly, data accuracy and integrity are never compromised, providing the responsiveness and control Welch's requires for its high-velocity supply chain.

Welch's will concurrently implement ClearOrbit's Compliance Label Manager (CLM). CLM is expected to enhance Welch's ability to manage barcode label format requests for pallet and case marking, driven by grocery and mass merchandiser customer requirements. CLM allows "distance printing" of compliance labels over the Web for in-house operations or third-party vendors, as well as the ability for locations to produce radio frequency identification (RFID) labels using rules-driven tagging formats.
