FairfieldNodal Seeks Inventory Accuracy with RF-SMART

Technology Category	Functional Applications - Enterprise Resource Planning Systems (ERP) Functional Applications - Inventory Management Systems Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) - Cloud Computing
Applicable Industries	Oil & Gas
Applicable Functions	Business Operation Warehouse & Inventory Management
Use Cases	Inventory Management Process Control & Optimization Real-Time Location System (RTLS)
Services	System Integration Training
Challenge	Prior to implementing Oracle SCM Cloud, FairfieldNodal was using various systems to run their business, including a manufacturing execution system (MES), but most of their inventory management processes were paper-based. Knowing it would be more cost-productive to consolidate systems to one platform (and that they wanted to move to the Cloud), the FairfieldNodal team chose Oracle SCM Cloud as their ERP solution. Based on the recommendation of their implementation partner and findings on the Oracle Marketplace, FairfieldNodal implemented RF-SMART for inventory management. Read More
About Customer	FairfieldNodal is the leader in ocean bottom seismic nodal data-acquisition systems, manufacturing both ground and subsea seismic data-acquisition nodes used for oil and gas reserves. For over 30 years, FairfieldNodal has been committed to bringing their customers acquisition tools, processing services, and licensing solutions to meet seismic challenges with 'speed, accuracy and efficiency.' In order to continue to bring the best product to market in a cost-conscientious environment, FairfieldNodal knew they needed the same speed, accuracy and efficiency in their technology systems.

Solution	FairfieldNodal implemented Oracle SCM Cloud as their ERP solution and RF-SMART for inventory management. RF-SMART works directly with Oracle, eliminating concerns about managing another system. FairfieldNodal uses RF-SMART for inventory management in their stock room, handling transactions such as Receiving and Putaway. The system scans receipts, distributes them to the appropriate rack and bin, and prints the appropriate label, all while seamlessly integrating with Oracle SCM Cloud. The simple and intuitive interface minimized the number of data capture fields, resulting in streamlined transaction times. Read More Log in to view content

Impact #1	Errors associated with paper-processes have been eliminated, and workers are no longer doing double the work by entering manual data into a PC hours later.
Impact #2	Real-time information is crucial because FairfieldNodal batch builds, so knowing when and how many finished goods will come off the line is essential.
Impact #3	Cycle counts are much faster with RF-SMART, by as much as 50%. Now they are updated and validated immediately.
