SCMTIPS

Problem Statement - Goods Movement, receipt and issue in Field, or in any Logistics nodes are generally still running on paper, handheld scanners and typing into the ERP. Many times, Counts are wrong, damage and expiry slip over looked, and the person who must check is the one whose hands are full: on a dock, in a truck, at the top of a telecom tower. SCMTips-Field turns Ray-Ban Meta glasses, or any Android phone, into a hands-free receiving and checking desk for supply chains. This is a journey - towards autonomous Supply chain using Physical AI, Smart Wearables & Advanced planning solutions. THE PROJECT: SCMTips Field is a hands-free check-in desk for the supply chain: the dock, the truck, the shop floor and the top of a telecom tower, where the person who must check is the one whose hands are full. One look. It counts, reads & speaks. You confirm Say "look": Field counts every item, reads the labels, checks pack size, damage and expiry against the order, says the result out loud ("5 of 8 packs, 3 short. Receive 5?"), and posts a goods receipt only after the handler say "yes". HOW IT GREW: THE PIVOTS, STEP BY STEP 0. 21–26 Oct: the first pivot, from platform to field. I started the SCMTIPS web platform (scmtips.com) on 21 October, the day I applied, assuming work from then would count. When the Cerebral Valley team clarified on 26 October that the entry must be built during the event, I pivoted: the entry is SCMTips Field, the hands-free mobile app and its SAP S/4-shaped ERP simulator, built from 27 October in this public repository. The scmtips.com platform is shown only as the connected system behind Field (and briefly in the video, for context); it stays private and is not part of the entry. 1. 27 Oct, simulator first. On day one we chose to build against an SAP S/4-shaped ERP simulator instead of waiting for a real SAP system 2. 27-30 Oct, M1-M2: receive on the phone, then voice. A phone-first receive flow and a supervisor console came first, then voice commands and a job model (receive, put away, pick, count, tower checks). 3. 31 Oct, M3: glasses-first. We moved the interface to the glasses and made the phone the pocket computer and fallback. 4. 31 Oct-1 Nov, M4: connected and hosted. Field joined the SCMTIPS core through a versioned exchange contract (built against a stand-in core, switched by settings) and went live on Google Cloud in Mumbai. 5. 1-3 Nov, M5: look-and-act. The look (count, read, check, confirm, post) became the heart of the product, built around two real test cases 6. 3-4 Nov: what live testing taught us. On real biscuit packs the first counting prompt found 0 of 5, another word found 5 of 5. So the look became two layers: one model names the goods, the other counts until the two agree HOW IT IS BUILT Android app (Kotlin, Jetpack Compose) with on-device speech; field-api and field-worker (Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL with row-level security); web console (Next.js, React, TypeScript); an S/4-shaped ERP simulator.
