GameChange Solar has introduced its GeniusShip, a digital supply chain management system for enhanced material visibility, labor cost savings, and fast decision-making
It ensures factory outgoing packages are equipped with a unique QR code that is encoded with details like components, quantities, batch numbers, part descriptions, and SKU, among others
Once delivered, this system also calculates the required installation zones in real-time, helping site teams make quick and informed decisions
Connecticut, US-based PV tracker and fixed-tilt racking system provider GameChange Solar has introduced its new digital feature, GeniusShip, to simplify inbound solar site logistics.
According to the company, it mandates a unique QR code for every packaging, irrespective of the type or materials, to be shipped to solar sites. Upon receiving the inbound consignments, once these codes are scanned, the site team (engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) or solar developer) easily accesses the encoded data. These include details of the shipped components, such as quantities, batch numbers, SKUs, and part descriptions, among others. Besides, it indicates probable installation zones for the receiving shipments across the vast installation field (utility-scale site), in line with the initial site design or engineering details. Taken together, this first-hand information improves the visibility of the EPC or solar developers, helping with the staging of the receiving materials accurately. Unlike the traditional inbound supply chain system, this precise material placement reduces material handling, minimizes re-staging, and lowers labor costs, supporting efficient construction workflows and speeding up project milestones.
However, the practical site conditions often vary from the approved site layout due to site-specific constraints and changes that require adjustments. These changes typically reflect in as-built design drawings after the commissioning of projects. Given the complexity and time-consuming nature of these adjustments in static supply chain documentation, this latest digital feature dynamically calculates the required installation zone in real time. It helps site teams in making fast and informed decisions, GameChange Solar states.
Phillip Vyhanek, CEO of GameChange Solar, summarizes by saying, “By combining real-time data, site adaptability, and simple QR access, we’re helping our partners receive, stage, and install materials more efficiently than ever before.”
The company has made this system a standard for every delivery.
