How it works
Combining hardware and software solutions smartly. Learn how sample.flow is easily connecting the physical with the digital world.
1. RFID TAG
RFID Sticker and QR Codes as a bridge to the digital world
Each sample is equipped with an RFID sticker plus a printed
QR-Code, which serve to bridge the physical and digital worlds. The RFID tag enables full traceability for each sample along all development steps. In addition the QR-Code provides easy access to detailed product information, comments and checklists.
2. SMART SCANNERS
Clean data collection in a split of a second with just one swipe
Our smart flow® scanners with embedded WLAN function build the bridge between the analog and digital world. By placing a stand-alone mini scanner at each sample workflow step, we ensure a transparent overview and traceability of each sample within the development process. All it takes is a quick (and fun) swipe to collect clean sample data.
3. KANBAN BOARD
A clear and real-time overview of your sample status in one Kanban Board
The Kanban board in sample.flow® provides a visual overview of the sample management process, enabling teams to easily track the live status of each sample. The traffic light system helps to prioritize samples and visualize delays, ensuring that teams can quickly identify and address any issues in the sample development process.
4. DASHBOARD
Live KPI Cockpit to continuously measure and improve performance
The dashboard functionality provides a concise overview of crucial sampling KPIs such as lead times, collection data, on time ratios, sample status, supplier scores as well as tracking unnecessary waste of time and resources. This feature helps users to make data-driven decisions, optimize workflows, and avoid costly delays within the sampling process.
