THE BEST LOCATING AND ISSUING All duties are controlled by WMS and are prioritized, thus, everyone knows always what to do. STANDARD YOUR OWN PROCESSES AND AUTOMATE THEM. All your internal process will be rightly organized. Plan all your logistic activities.
REDUCE COSTS AND OPERATIVE TIME as a result of improving the efficiency and effectiveness due to a great organization, the time of the workforce is optimized and the incidences are dropped.
IMPROVE CUSTOMER SATISFACTION Meeting deadlines is vital for your customers.
Install WMS in your own Datacenter. Other possibility is to rent a Datacenter, such as Amazon, Azure, Oracle and others.
SaaS is also possible. This way, forget about hardware, security and other important aspects.
WAREHOUSE DEFINITION
LOCATION DEFINITION
WAREHOUSE AREAS DEFINITION AND CRITERIA
Additionally, establish grouping criteria such as products, family products, dangerous, Product Status…
MAIN PARAMETERS TO AUTOMATIZE TASK-OPERATORS PRIORITY Areas of the warehouse in which every operator usually works, type of activity (allocate, picking to complete customer order, serve to plant, counts, load lorry, …).
RF. All the orders are received and reported in RF device, so all data flows in real time. Reduce errors due to the fact that SSCC, locations and finally all movements can be double-check.
PRINT LABELS FROM THE RF DEVICE
COLLECT INFORMATION: all this information is gathered in DATADEC WMS hence it can be analyzed afterwards. There are always points to improve all the procedures. Several KPI can be calculated with this information like average time for issuing, Occupancy Rate, time spent in every activity, lack of activity, …
REPORT OTHER KIND OF ACTIVITIES: Miscellaneous activity is possible to report in RF. Some examples are machine repairing, batteries changing, ...
ANDROID DEVICES ARE BEING INCORPORATED In the roadmap is expected to connect directly to DATADEC WMS and even to develop Android APP, which would work in offline mode, to use instead of RF.
LOCATION RULES AND ISSUING RULES. These rules allow to set up the way you need all goods are distributed in your Warehouse.
CROSS-DOCKING. If there is someone waiting for the goods, just issue it without allocating. It is also possible to define the behavior of the WMS in case there is less product than what is needed.
OPTIMIZE THE OPERATOR´S ITINERARY, The used algorithm for calculating this are Floyd-Warshall y Traveling Salesman Problem.
DATADEC WMS will create all intermediate points with all locations to pick up sequent goods.
WHAT IS THIS?:
When a good is received, the system says what is the best storing location, the most optimized regarding different criteria.
On the other hand, when a good is about to be delivered, WMS knows where to retrieve it from.
Setting up these Rules, it is possible to decide which is the best option.
Rules filter and prioritize all possible candidates where to pick up goods from or to locate them.
These filters and sorts are applied sequentially. Hence, it is possible to model the needed behavior of your Warehouse.
HOW MANY?: The used algorithm for calculating this are Floyd-Warshall y Traveling Salesman Problem.
Example: Suppose your Warehouse has 50,000 different storing locations, and after unloading the goods, where can it be stored?
UNIDENTIFIED LARGE CONTAINER: If the only received information is the quantity of goods and the purchase ID, it is allowed to register de delivery note reading with RF and send it to X3.
ALLOWING OR NOT A RECEPTION WITHOUT PURCHASE ORDER. This parameter is read from X3 so DATADEC WMS knows if it is acceptable to receive goods from the provider. In case that it is not allowed, the reception is refused.
LABELLED CONTAINERS: If the provider print EAN label, DATDEC WMS can read it and incorporate in the system.
QUALITY CONTROL: every change in the stock status, DATADEC WMS informs X3.
ORDERS MANAGEMENT: Plan how to deliver all customer orders which come from X3 regarding dates, agencies, customers, routes and prioritize according to a great variety of restrictions such as deadlines, volume, weigh, routes. There is a useful tool to simulate all the customer delivering plan which facilitates to make decisions.
PREPARATION ORDER MANAGEMENT: Group operator´s orders for every preparation process. Follow up in X3 the status (generated, confirmed, preparing, palletizing, pre-load, loading, loaded, delivering note) of the progress of this preparation since DATADEC WMS informs in time to X3.
PICKING EVALUATION: Several orders should be complemented with unpacked articles to meet the whole quantity of the order. Operator´s orders are generated with the optimized process to pick them up. Ways of picking:
LOAD PALLET. Pallet could be referred to multiple articles. Correspondent labels are printed for the pallet (logistic group). All customer restrictions are ensured to meet in this step of the process.
LOADING NOTES are created with all details of the contents of the pallet, SSCC and all relative to the expedition like the agency, dock, driver, plate of the vehicle, container, …)
LOAD GOODS and inform X3 in real-time using RF, reading pallet SSCC or EAN codes. At the same time, DATADEC WMS is validating this delicate part of the issuing.
DELIVERING NOTES. Once the good is loaded, this documentation is printed to the driver, destination. Packing list with all details is also printed in case is requested by the police.
ISSUE TO MANUFACTURE (partial or total) all work orders of raw materials, components or half-manufactured products are assigned to operators through RF devices in order to make internal movements.
All the work is perfectly coordinated to serve to the plant in the right time.
ORDERS GENERATION: all operator´s orders are created and delivered to the operators in order to pick up the product and serve it to the plant. When the production process is finished, operators receive the appropriate orders in RF to allocate the product according to a set of rules or to cross-dock. All the process is really optimized.
ALLOCATING FROM THE PLANT: There are several rules for allocating goods from the plant. This material may be labelled or not. Several orders to the operators are distributed to allocate the good by the optimized route or just cross-dock since there are customer orders awaiting.
All the work is reported through the RF and DATADEC WMS is collecting the information and delivering new tasks.
COUNTS AND DOCUMENTATION by different ways such as warehouse, areas, range of references, product families, … Before making the counting, DATADEC WMS reads from X3 the cost of every product and make the report with the gaps in units and costs. Automatically, this information is sent to X3 and make the miscellaneous receipts or issues.
REPORT COUNTS may be done manually with a list or reading bar codes with RF. This count is done specifically for every location with RF device, reading the location, the pallet and the detail of what it contains.
UPDATE COUNTS make regularizations movements in DATADEC WMS and X3 in order to reflect the real situation of the inventory.
COUNT IMMEDIATELY when an operation is done and it is detected some gap between how many items should be and the real quantity, a count order is sent in this moment and make the miscellaneous regularization in order to have the real situation in DATADEC WMS and X3.
PERIODIC COUNTS regular control are necessary, so DATADEC WMS send orders to the operators to count the existences regularly, with a specific period.
REPORTS necessary reports to X3 are sent. However, the information gathered in DATADEC is deeper since it is possible to find upon the counts by SSCC. For being able to report the value of the products, the cost is taking from X3 just before the inventory orders are generated.
COMMUNICATION WITH OTHER SYSTEMS: if your warehouse counts with automatic Systems, DATADEC WMS can integrate it and manage with the specific characteristics through web service, direct connection to database, ODBC, DBLink, text files, …
