Wireless technology has brought many advantages to the computer user, although most only see it as a way of using their laptop without being tethered to the wall. At JFK Ventures we see it as a means of expressing work to an employee and giving an employee the information to perform their job at a higher level or pace.

Imagine pickers not having to constantly touch base with their supervisors for the next product to pick, clerks not having to data enter what the pickers just picked, the shipping department not having to determine what was just placed on the loading docks waiting to be shipped. How much time do you waste pulling paperwork back off the plant/warehouse floor when a customer changes an order? With a real-time wireless plant/warehouse, the picker wouldn't be able to pick the order, the shipping department wouldn't be able to ship the order and the plant wouldn't manufacture the order. Wireless technology can stop the transaction problem at the source, not hours or even days later when someone manually enters the transaction.

How about printing packaging or shipping labels real-time when the picker removes product from inventory? It's easy with wireless printers mounted on a vehicle or on your employee. No more batch printing of labels only to have someone put the wrong label on the wrong box for the wrong customer. Sound familiar, JFK Ventures has been helping clients with problems just like yours! We know the solutions because we've not only developed them but we also worked in operational positions in Production Control, Inventory Control, Shop Floor Control and Shipping.

JFK Ventures has developed real-time wireless solutions for Engineer-To-Order, Process, Distribution, Make-To-Order, and Make-To-Stock businesses. We have devices installed on forklifts, side loaders, cranes and even employees.

We can integrate directly into your ODBC compliant database or drop information anywhere on your LAN/WAN for your systems to pickup and process. JFK Ventures has developed printing solutions (both wireless and wired) for HP, Intermec and Zebra printers using thermal and thermal transfer technology.

Client Server Applications, "where do we start", or should we say "where do we stop". If you can think of a way to display, print, store or integrate data into your everyday business life, JFK Ventures has most likely developed software to accomplish it.

You know better than anyone what your company needs to do to stay profitable. Knowing what your key indicators of health is the easy part, having them delivered to you in a timely and meaningful way is the challenge.

Tired of monthly meetings that tell you the company missed the mark again? Do you enjoy learning about an unprofitable customer or part after months of damage? Does your business currently set goals only to find out they were missed or someone wasn't aware of the goal? We at JFK Ventures know how you feel because we were employed in positions that required us to maintain high levels of key business metrics.

JFK Ventures can develop scoreboards, dashboards and notification systems that can tell you at any moment where you stand based on your key business metrics without having someone perform data entry into a spreadsheet. Need order, production, shipment, freight, margin analysis, payables, receivables and labor information at your fingertips presented how you want to see it? JFK Ventures has your solution.

Ever look at off-the-shelf scoreboard/dashboard software and wonder how can I fit my business into this software? Let us assure you that you're not alone. Most off-the-shelf software lacks the ability to represent your company how you want to see it.

JFK Ventures presents many possible ways to view the health of your company, whether you like to see numbers, graphs, pictures, colors, or sounds. We can provide you with a solution that is meaningful to you, not a software developer.

There are really two reasons most companies use bar coding: reduce data entry errors, or it is required by a downstream customer.

JFK Ventures has developed solutions for both situations, bar-coding in and of itself will do nothing for increasing data accuracy but it will make your downstream customer happy.

Companies that realize the benefits of bar-coding usually embrace the technology early into the product receipt process. A company that starts bar-coding half way through the product realization process usually has a higher error rate do to the fact they have errors prior to the bar-coding step. Product labeling should start as soon as the product is received at your door or even better, the product is bar coded by your vendor.

JFK Ventures has developed bar coding solutions for clients in various industries using different symbologies with numerous types of label stock (heat resistant, UV resistant, waterproof, nomex, able to handle over-the-road untarped freight). We are able to integrate bar coding into your ERP, MRP, CRM or other back office system with wireless or wired technology. Have one of our Six Sigma, Lean Manufacturing trained process experts talk to you about possible solutions.

Here at JFk Ventures we are firm believers in making your company as efficient as possible. One of the best ways to achieve this is through plant/warehouse integration. Are your employees writing down equipment problems and handing them in at the end of their shift only to have the problems not addressed? Do you know the top 10 reasons your equipment or employees failed to meet metric levels? Would you like to know immediately when a piece of machinery is not running at its expected rate? How about what equipment is causing you not to attain your metric levels? Do you have many problems or is it the same small number of problems that keep reoccurring?

JFK Ventures has helped their clients eliminate unnecessary downtime caused by delays in information reaching the correct people. We create early warning systems to notify the desired people when your plant/warehouse is not performing. The most powerful tool you can have is one that will allow you to act before problems occur. Downtime costs money and the more downtime you avoid means the more money you save.

JFK Ventures can analyze data that is currently being captured on your plant/warehouse floor and present you with real-time metrics that notify key staff when such metrics fall below set points. Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) are a cost effective way of having real-time information reported about equipment speed, temperature, cycles, pressures and just about any other type of information your equipment is trying to tell you. As with any computer this information can be overwhelming and equate to "idiocy at the sped of light". This is where JFK Ventures can draw from its experience in integrating point-in-time PLC information to historical database information. This data capture technique allows you to historically look back at events (breakdown, slowdown, poor production) and determine equipment set points or whether one piece of equipment was waiting on another. Your machines are providing constant feedback and we can help you capture it. Video has also become a tool in plant/warehouse efficiency; captured video can be saved with equipment events to give you a visual representation of the plant/warehouse floor during the event.
