Missing parts on a manufacturing floor is a major problem, often acting as a “silent killer” of productivity. Parts may be misplaced into the wrong bin or even forgotten during handling. This causes operational disruptions and hidden expenses such as expedited shipping, emergency labor premiums, and overstocking. In a highly automated environment, some stations may still require operators to manually load and unload parts. However, as these facilities have significantly fewer operators, there may be no one around to attend to the station at crucial moments, leading to unplanned downtime. Therefore, an effective solution is needed to address these issues.
