Effective cylinder management is crucial for the flexible packaging industry, ensuring seamless coordination between artwork preparation, cylinder lifecycle tracking, and order execution. Samadhan’s Flexible Packaging ERP, built on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, offers a comprehensive solution to manage cylinder procurement, usage, maintenance, and stock replenishment. By streamlining operations, businesses can reduce costs, optimize resources, and maintain consistent print quality while efficiently meeting customer demands.

Efficient Cylinder Procurement and Lifecycle Management

The process starts by capturing detailed customer requirements, such as product dimensions, artwork, and printing specifications. Once artwork is finalized, businesses can manage cylinder manufacturing in-house or outsource it to vendors. For outsourcing, the ERP automatically generates and tracks purchase orders (POs) as part of the subcontract workflow, ensuring full traceability. Since cylinder costs are typically borne by customers, the system seamlessly links these expenses to sales orders, enabling transparent financial reconciliation.

During production, the system tracks cylinder usage in real-time, measuring wear based on meters or impressions. Post-production, it evaluates cylinder wear and tear to determine whether it should be reused, recoated, or replaced. The lifecycle management feature within the Flexible Packaging ERP helps enhance cylinder usability, reduce unnecessary costs, and optimize resource allocation.

Automated Cylinder Reusability and Inventory Management

For repeat orders requiring the same artwork, the ERP automates cylinder reusability decisions. It assesses the condition of existing cylinders and, if needed, generates POs or internal work orders for recoating, ensuring cylinders are ready for future production runs. Real-time inventory tracking provides a clear view of cylinder stock and condition, while integrated procurement workflows automate stock replenishment, preventing downtime and ensuring uninterrupted operations.

Seamless Financial Integration and Operational Transparency

Each cylinder is assigned a dedicated line item within the Flexible Packaging ERP, linking it directly to the respective sales order. This ensures accurate invoicing and allows businesses to pass cylinder costs transparently to customers. Additionally, the system automates reminders for pending sales invoices and cylinder-related payments, preventing delays and maintaining smooth financial operations.
