Arda
"Stop counting parts and babysitting bins"
Physical-first kanban replenishment software for shop-floor manufacturing and vendor-managed inventory using QR-coded scan-to-order cards.
Arda (Arda Cards) is a U.S.-based software company providing physical-first kanban replenishment software for shop-floor manufacturing and vendor-managed inventory (VMI). The platform replaces spreadsheets, whiteboards and manual counting with QR-coded kanban cards placed at each storage bin. When a bin runs low, an operator scans the card from a phone, automatically adding the correct SKU, quantity and vendor to a replenishment queue; the card is scanned back in at receiving to close the loop.
Suppliers are notified immediately when an order is triggered, with the right part already prepared in the cart and sent to their email, enabling replenishment to run automatically and reducing stockouts. Arda's QR-coded cards can be printed in seconds and deployed within minutes, and the company offers a free kanban-card creation tool alongside its paid software. The product is positioned within the lean manufacturing methodology, and Arda maintains supporting resources including a LEAN glossary of over 200 terms, case studies, a comparison hub and a knowledge base.
Published customer case studies report outcomes such as eliminated stockouts and multiplied throughput and production across industrial assembly and manufacturing customers. While Arda is a software and inventory-automation tool rather than a robotics hardware maker, it operates squarely in the factory automation and manufacturing-operations domain, exhibiting at industrial automation trade shows such as Automate. The company markets primarily to manufacturers and VMI operations seeking to automate material replenishment and reduce manual inventory management.
