The TASK-SCAN system is designed to provide better visibility of shift activities allowing us to improve the DC Planning and Management process.
TASK-SCAN is a complimentary system designed to record when an individual starts a task that is not recorded automatically by another system. The software is designed to be kiosk based with a touch screen and scanner. In most operations, activity captured by the warehouse management system, only accounts for a proportion of a shift. To get a full account of all site activities for both performance management and accounting purposes, the ability to capture indirect activity such as time spent on housekeeping is required.
The individual scans their user ID badge (which may be the same as their time and attendance clocking badge) and selects from a list of tasks that they may be required to perform (The tasks displayed are customizable to suit the operation). This allows the site to account for individuals activities and measure the total amount of time spent on each across the facility.
