FUNCTIONAL MODULES

SMF Core Module Overview

Manage material flow with a modular approach — from foundational data to shop-floor execution coordination — building a unified, traceable management platform.

Operational Modules — Linked to Flowchart Steps Above
Receiving & Master Data
Step ①

Receiving Management

Register materials upon arrival to build the data foundation for all downstream processes.

Incoming material registration, barcode parsing, and unique material ID creation
Label printing and automatic master data validation
Integration with scanning devices and third-party data sources
Inventory & Warehouse Control
Step ② Step ⑨

Inventory Management

Unified visual management across raw material warehouses, WIP/line-side buffers, and finished goods storage.

Inventory queries with granular location and batch tracking
Core operations: inbound, outbound, transfer, and cycle counting
Manage raw materials through finished goods on a single platform
Work Orders & Kitting
Step ③ Step ④ Step ⑤ Step ⑥

Kitting & Dispatch Management

Organize kitting, picking, and dispatch around work orders to ensure accurate line-side material supply.

Work order-driven kitting, picking, and dispatch workflow control
Kit completeness validation, status tracking, and real-time exception alerts
Seamless coordination with smart shelving, automated storage, and delivery systems
Return & Reflow Control
Step ⑦ Step ⑧

Return Management

Standardize leftover material collection and re-shelving to establish a closed-loop reflow mechanism.

Return requests, confirmation, and material data re-registration
Rule-based return-to-stock workflow and inventory status updates
Prevent uncontrolled material reflow that causes inventory data discrepancies
Platform Modules — Cross-Process Support

Traceability

Full audit trail of every critical action across receiving, storage, kitting, dispatch, and return — supporting quality traceability and exception investigation.

Dashboards & Reports

Intuitive charts and dashboards displaying inventory, task, and exception status — enabling data-driven operational decisions.

User & Permissions

Manage users, roles, and permissions with function-level access control by position — clear accountability and standardized operations.

System Integration

Project-based integration with ERP, MES, and WMS systems — supporting APIs and custom interfaces.
