Just ask Mark Wentworth from Wentworth Greenhouses in Rollingsford, New Hampshire. What use to be a nightmare; trying to keep track of their carts, now is a breeze with the use of AMT "Cart-Trax" software program.  "Since we have started using Cart-Trax, we are now able to know exactly where each cart is and how many are at each retail outlet/warehouse that we distribute to.  We have to simply apply a metal barcode label to each cart and with the use of Cart-Trax, we scan each cart as they are loaded into a truck and again when returned.  At any time, we are able to know exactly how many, are located where and, when they should be returned. Cart-Trax has saved us thousands of dollars, in not only lost carts but labor time in trying to track the where-a-bouts of our carts"..

AMTSystems provides Solutions!

Kathy Miller, Production Manager was in search of software that would allow Lucas Greenhouses to track productivity of 70 – 80 employees planting plug trays.  Tim Moore, Inventory Manager of Lucas Greenhouses needed to track Lucas ever changing inventory and its location. After discussing Lucas’ system needs with Dave Stewart, President of AMTSystems, Inc., AMTSystems programming team went to work designing a productivity and inventory system specifically for Lucas Greenhouses. Each plant grown has a unique product code, variety name, vender code, and specific tray count.  Each employee has a unique employee number, which is printed on stick tags or stick labels. Using a Symbol Technologies handheld scanner, Lucas is now able to track the greenhouse location, where the plants are being placed to grow, the item number and the employee stick label, allowing Lucas Greenhouses to track how many plants each employee planted. As part of the scanning process, the trays are viewed for quality control and codes entered to track employees performance. The employees are paid by quantity of plants stuck and incentives are based on quality performance. Information gathered by the scanner(s) is then uploaded to the Lucas PC database. The database is also used to track the inventory. The latest inventory can be uploaded to the handheld scanner and is available to employees when they are pulling plants for shipping or monitoring various stages of growth. When plants are moved from one location to another, an entry or scan is made with the scanner. Two labels are printed, using a Zebra Technologies portable printer to update a location placard with information as to the plants and quantities that are stored at that location. Data entered on the handheld scanners are uploaded to the PC database bringing that information into sync. As an added feature, the handhelds are programmed to respond in either English and Spanish. The system includes numerous reports that are available and include QC Violations, Inventory Transaction, Inventory Location, Production Spreadsheet, Employee Production both Detail & Summary. AMTSystems has helped Lucas Greenhouses to continue to grow and become one of the top 10 liner growers in the US.
