Warehouse Management System (WMS)

Operation Technology

The warehouse is divided into specified areas according to technological operations in order to automate inbound, outbound and in-stock operations. The system enables the client to create a series of work algorithms to assign personnel in the most efficient manner, to accomplish warehousing and inventory movement responsibilities.

Solvo.WMS controls task fulfillment through the scanning of a bar code. Storage locations/storage units, loads and vehicles are all marked with bar codes. The system supports any bar code type, and labels with internal bar codes can be printed out.

Material handling equipment and operators are equipped with data collection devices - RF handheld scanners and vehicle mounted terminals that wirelessly transmit data to the system.

The system considers many storage condition requirements while assigning product to putaway. Temperature and humidity modes, product age and expiration date, vendors and suppliers, compatibility rules and many other parameters are considered by Solvo WMS.

Through following designated putaway rules, Solvo.WMS automatically chooses the appropriate storage place for loads that are received and generates tasks for operators to move the loads. The tasks are sent to the specific operator's RF terminal screen according to the sequential elementary commands. The operator confirms that the task was completed by scanning a bar code. The system controls the operator's actions to eliminate the misplacement of loads as well as errors during order picking.

When generating tasks, Solvo.WMS considers the most optimal vehicle routs and subsequently reduces empty runs. Solvo.WMS then optimally assigns the appropriate vehicle to the task.

The system controls the movement of every employee and is able to eliminate errors in order picking, inventory putaway as well as the periodic movement of goods in the warehouse.

Information on load allocation, availability of products, personnel activity and completed tasks are continuously updated in the system. A two-dimensional graphic representation of the warehouse layout is available at the warehouse manager response.

The system generates reports on current warehouse status or fulfilled operations. The reports can be printed out or sent to the client's ERP. The customer can choose the type and number of reports during the requirement specification and development stage.
