Delivery of the right material
Just in time
LINCS is a material supply control system for industries with Just In Time, Just In Sequence or Kanban production system.
Controls and ensures the correct synchronization between automotive industry manufacturers, components suppliers and logistics operators. LINCS generates containers according to production requests received from the assembly line and orders for the different collection, production preparation, order delivery and assurance operations.
LINCS is a flexible and highly configurable solution easely adapted to each client and manufacturer process needs. It has already been successfully implemented in major car manufacturers. Please check our connected brands on our References page.
