Warehouse Management Systems.Definition.System to help manage the receipt, put away, audit, pick and ship of products. These may be SKU or UIC based - which means that items can be tracked by their part number or serial number as appropriate. These systems typically link to a web element which permits users to review stock held, and place pick orders.This link will take you to a page with more information about specific warehouse management systems. For more information, or to ask a detailed question, contact SageData directly. Configuration.WMS (Warehouse Management Systems) typically use hand held units linked by RF to a central server. Many remote warehouses can be linked as part of one system. The link to the web element enables orders to be placed and processed quickly and accurately. The system computes the shortest pick route, and guides the picker through that route. Because the system prompts for verification, miss picks can be reduced or eliminated.Receiving.The system can receive UIC or SKU items either against a prior list, or as new items. Receiving is generally done to a receiving area, so that receipts can be processed quickly, and information immediately posted to the web element of the system.Put-away.Done from the receiving area. Put away can be flexible or rigid, at the users option.Audits.If required, can be completed easily, quickly, accurately. Audit times are typically reduced by a factor of five or ten.Picking.Generally initiated from the web, supervisor controls can be incorporated. The picker is immediately notified of the required pick, and guided to the pick location. Picks are confirmed using the hand held unit.Shipping.The system can produce packing lists and mailing labels. This printing can be initiated from the hand held unit at the conclusion of the pick.Whodunnit?The system maintains an audit trail of all activities, who did what and when.This link will take you to a page with more information about specific warehouse management systems.
