Solutions
Carlisle Technology’s Symphony Warehouse Management Solution is purpose-built for the meat industry, helping processors streamline day‑to‑day operations. Core functions, including raw material receiving, cycle counting, inventory control, picking, and shipping, are simplified enabling more efficient, accurate, and reliable warehouse management throughout the facility.
Why Warehouse Management Matters in Meat Processing
Effective warehouse management is essential in the meat industry. It gives processors full visibility into where inventory originates, what is currently available, and how products move through the facility to the customer.
Receiving
A strong warehouse management process ensures accurate receiving and tracking of raw materials. Detailed receiving records support traceability, work‑in‑process (WIP) tracking, and production planning.
Cycle Counting
Inventory in a busy warehouse can easily be misplaced or overlooked. Cycle counting helps maintain accurate inventory records and reduces the risk of stock discrepancies.
Inventory Reporting
Accurate inventory reporting enables meat processors to confirm they have the raw materials needed for production and enough finished goods to meet customer demand.
Picking and Shipping
With proper warehouse management, processors know exactly where items are stored, allowing operators to pick the correct products for each order. It also simplifies the creation of shipping paperwork for outbound orders.
How Warehouse Management Works
Plant floor operators receive all raw materials entering the facility. Each incoming item must have a GS1-128 barcode; if it arrives without one, it is labeled upon receipt. Symphony then captures this information and builds a comprehensive raw-material inventory database that records what products were received, the quantities, the receipt dates, and the original vendor of each item.
To keep inventory records accurate, operators regularly perform cycle counts. Symphony allows users to lock specific locations during a count so items cannot be scanned in or out. Operators then scan all products within that area and generate a report identifying missing or misplaced items. The system also highlights products stored in incorrect locations, enabling users to quickly investigate discrepancies and make the necessary adjustments to maintain clean, reliable inventory data.
Symphony builds finished goods inventory through iCap’s product weighing and labeling application. As items are weighed and labeled they become finished goods. Symphony then tracks each case and pallet as they are put away into their designated inventory locations. Once a finished good is created, it appears in inventory reports and becomes available for customer orders.
Once a sales order is created, Symphony sends picklists directly to mobile computers on the plant floor. Operators can view these picklists to see order details such as items, quantities, and the inventory locations where products are stored. As operators scan cases or pallets to an order, Symphony updates the database in real time to show which items are allocated to each shipment. The system then automatically generates all required shipping documents based on the sales order and the items picked.
