There are many aspects of Epicor Kinetic which positively impact the day-to-day operations at Federal Oats. Advance Material Management supports barcode functionality to generate Packaging Components ID (PCID) for materials and products travel throughout the operating cycle. The barcode scanners play a critical role in automating data collection in operations, reducing data entry errors, increasing data collection speed across receiving, picking, shipping, and inventory management activities.
