FIFO Expiry Management System

This system manages part numbers together with use-by dates and storage conditions — enforcing first-in-first-out picking for electronic components and chemicals to prevent expired-stock usage.

Benefits

Expiry-aware picking

FIFO is enforced automatically based on labeled use-by dates.

Expired stock prevention

Operators are blocked from using stock past its date.

Lower scrap cost

Better stock rotation reduces expired-stock write-off.

Audit-ready log

All picks include lot and date for traceability.

Compatible Functions

  • Barcode / 2D code reading — Reads lot and date labels accurately.
  • OCR (text recognition) — Falls back to OCR when labels are not barcoded.
  • No-code app builder — Configure FIFO rules per item category.
  • Device management — Manage handhelds remotely.
