With ELAM Goods Receipt The quality of your final product begins the moment materials first enter your facility – with the initial scan at goods receipt. Deliveries are identified, data is automatically reconciled, and each item is assigned to the appropriate inspection scenario. This transforms goods receipt into a structured, reproducible process that detects errors before they are passed on to storage, assembly, or shipping.
ELAM guides your employees step-by-step through the entire goods receipt process: from capture via handheld scanner or camera, through quantity and quality inspection, up to the OK/not OK decision. Based on digital inspection instructions, deliveries are reliably inspected, documented, and clearly evaluated. Defective, incomplete, or incorrect goods are immediately identified, marked, secured, and automatically reported to quality assurance, purchasing, or disposition. Released goods are clearly routed, repacked if necessary, and seamlessly transferred to intralogistics. All transactions, images, and inspection results are comprehensively documented in the ELAM production system and the ERP. This way, you ensure inventory accuracy and quality right from goods receipt and stabilize the material flow from the outset.
From incorrect deliveries to missing documentation: ELAM Goods Receipt creates transparency, security, and stable inventory levels.
What goes wrong in goods receipt impacts the entire production: incorrect goods, manual entries, missing inspection documentation – with consequences for inventory, lead times, and quality. This overview highlights typical sources of error and how ELAM permanently eliminates them with standardized, digitally guided inspection processes.
For a manufacturer of electronic devices with a high variety of variants and many purchased parts, not only assembly needed to be secured, but also goods receipt and batch traceability had to be reliably managed. With ELAM, a continuous batch recording system was implemented, starting at goods receipt and extending through the entire production. Batch numbers are recorded, checked, and uniquely assigned to the materials used and the product data. The result: a secure material supply, trouble-free operations, and a significantly higher degree of transparency and quality throughout the entire process.
