Solvo.WMS Operation Technology

Solvo's WMS is an application suite designed to optimize warehouse operations. Solvo's solutions manage the entire warehouse operation cycle in a real time mode.

The System controls warehouse personnel as well as material handling equipment, and operatively generates tasks for users based on a current situation.

Solvo.WMS is based on automatic identification technologies (such as barcoding and others), the principle of mapping warehouse locations and assigning unique storage locations to inventory and remote personnel management.

Every warehouse operator is equipped with an RF terminal - a mobile computer which can either be handheld or mounted on a forktruck. Tasks are automatically generated in Solvo.WMS and are sent to RF terminal screens as a set of elementary sequential commands. Commands/directions can also be set and sent by the warehouse manager, who may control the task assignment process.

The operator confirms task fulfillment by scanning a label barcode at the processed location. If RFID technology is deployed, task fulfillment is confirmed by scanning RF mark.

Using the Solvo.WMS your warehouse will be functioning as an integrated and well-controlled complex, bringing together all the resources and capable of interaction with other elements of the logistics chain.

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.
