The plant workers like how easy SIMBA is to use, plant managers appreciate the immediate information it provides them, and owners enjoy higher profitability through greater control of the business.
The components of a SIMBA system include automated data collection points that report product details and moves, and the reporting system that provides detailed information for management. SIMBA Office is the heart of SIMBA, where all data is consolidated and reported. The main data input for SIMBA happens through SIMBA Production, which can be on a touchcomputer directly connected to the Office system or on a mobile tablet. SIMBA Logistics records inventory moves, handles palletizing and records detailed shipping information.
