Steel & metals
Every coil weighed, placed and traced by its batch.
Metal stores move heavy material measured in kilograms and tonnes, received and dispatched across a weighbridge, and traced by heat or batch number. Crystal WMS reads weights from the weighbridge, puts heavy material in bins that can take it, and keeps every batch traceable through issue to production and dispatch.
