    Real-time warehousing process management is achieved through wireless technology and the introduction of an appropriate warehousing technology chain. Therefore WMS Logistics. Warehouse management is mainly aimed at the use of these technologies. The main functions for the creation and processing of warehouse tasks are performed by users with radio terminals for data collection: storekeepers, collectors, middle tiers. The function of the warehouse manager includes control over the implementation of tasks and solutions to non-standard situations.

    The system can account for one physical composition. If it is necessary to operate the system on several physical or logical warehouses, it is necessary to create several information bases with the possible exchange of duplicate information.

    The warehouse, as a rule, is divided into physical zones in which processing of the goods is subject to certain rules depending on a design of racks, the used equipment, planning of rooms, etc.

    Warehouse zones.

     

     

    Accounting for goods in the address space of the warehouse in terms of packaging (including non-fixed weight), expiration dates, batches, serial numbers, excise stamps, quality; accounting of containers and control of dimensions of goods; ABC / XYZ analysis; work with transit cargoes; excise accounting; work with cell blocks; accounting kits.

    Accounting for goods in terms of digital labeling codes and traceability of goods in stock.

    When accounting for goods in terms of digital marking codes (ITC), the system requires the entry of information about digital codes when performing all operations using automated workstations, data collection terminal or manual tasks:
     
    This functionality provides:

    Acceptance. Acceptance in the trust mode and under the order (cross-docking), preliminary recalculation on places.

     

    Placing. In the WMS Logistics system. Warehouse management can implement various product placement strategies: automatic, buffer placement, placement closer to the selection area; replenishment of the selection area during placement.

     

    Moving. The process of internal movement of whole containers, goods between containers and cells in the system is made out with the help of movement tasks. Separate tasks are provided for the movement of entire containers and the composition of containers.

    Bar coding of goods, cells, containers, personnel; generation, storage and printing of barcodes (barcode generation “GS1 DataBar Expanded Stacked” is supported); support for working with non-unique barcodes.

    Selection and shipment of goods. Different selection strategies are implemented in the system: cluster, group; consolidation of selections in a wave according to temporary windows of shipment, in groups on similar goods, in flights on delivery routes.

    Quality control of the accepted goods.

    Quality control of selected and packaged goods;

    control when loading into the car.

    The system provides several types of tasks for recalculation:

    Feeding. If necessary, in the replenishment of the selection area of the product in the system, the task of feeding is performed. Feeding is performed according to the need of the “Shipment Order” or at any time in accordance with the regulations of the warehouse.

    Inventory of any area of the warehouse, empty cells, product / product group.

    Conducting an inventory using the WMS Logistics system. Warehouse management does not require a complete shutdown of the warehouse, and can be carried out on a limited area of cells (driveway, rack, tier) or a specific product group. The cell is not locked at the time of recalculation, which allows you to not stop working on the cell, which is inventoried for other warehousing operations.

    Optimization of the use of warehouse space – compression of the warehouse. To save space in the racks in the warehouse is usually a procedure for sealing the goods. Compression (or compaction) – moving goods from several cells to one in order to more efficient use of storage space. The compression strategy includes a list of compression algorithms and conditions for their execution.

    Working with radio data collection terminals (TCD):

    • work without warehouse operators;
    • online mode of operation of the warehouse;
    • application of DCT at processing of all warehouse tasks;
    • the use of DCT to perform ancillary operations.

    Resource management.

    Calculation of responsible storage services:

    • accounting for goods in terms of owners;
    • setting tariffs for warehousing operations for each owner;
    • calculation of the cost of services for each operation.

    Monitoring of orders and tasks is carried out with the help of workstations of dispatchers of reception, shipment and tasks. All analytical functions are implemented using reports that are developed using the data layout system and can be customized by users of the subsystem functionality. The reports are grouped according to the purpose in the respective configuration subsystems.

    Successful cases.

    The result of automation of warehousing processes at Delta Medical:

    Delta Medical is one of the TOP-10 pharmaceutical companies in Ukraine, supplying products in Ukraine and Eastern Europe and Asia to more than 37 world-renowned manufacturers, including UPSA SAS, SCHONEN, AMGEN, BioGaia, GILEAD, URGO NUTRICIA, VITABIOTICS.

    Based on WMS software, all Delta Medical warehousing processes are automated: acceptance and placement of goods, selection and control of wholesale and retail orders, shipment management, inventory management, monitoring and analysis of employees, etc.
    The WMS system on the BAF platform manages the assembly line, the PickToLight assembly acceleration system (PTL) and other warehousing equipment, providing the highest level of productivity and control over warehousing operations and processes. The tasks created by the system are sent for execution to the data collection terminals (TSD) of warehouse employees, in its system controls their receipt and execution.

    Together with our partners, we have developed an integrated order management system based on conveyors, gravity racks, weight control and a pick-to-light system, which provides high rates of speed and accuracy of customer orders. The introduction of automation has increased the productivity of selection by about 2 times, while significantly reducing the error rate. For example, more than 90% of the selection containers on the conveyor successfully pass weight control and are sent for packaging without detailed recalculation.

    Our team continues to develop and improve the capabilities of the system.

    The Center of Business Technologies Group of Companies is a team of qualified specialists with extensive practical experience in implementing complex systems for business automation.
