HOW A DC WALKTHROUGH CAN IMPROVE THE PICKING WORKFLOW

23/9/2020


 
Picking/Packing Walkthrough Observations and Recommendations Example

Conducting a DC Walkthrough is done with “fresh eyes.” Fresh eyes is defined as looking at the workflow with the intent of learning and understanding the current state of operations without bias or preconceived conclusions, and then applying industry knowledge and best practices to recommend ways to improve upon the current performance.

Great article on the Honeywell Supply Chain Blog about picking workflow

2/8/2020

Instant Asset Write-off: Is 2020 the year to invest in wms?

30/7/2020


 
For many companies, the economic downturn represents both challenges and opportunities. While an immediate fall in client activity may mean a temporary decline in revenue, it also creates the perfect environment for testing and building out systems and processes.

The instant asset write-off eligibility criteria and threshold have changed over time.

From 12 March to 31 December 2020 inclusive, the Instant Asset Write-off threshold for each asset increased to $150,000 (up from $30,000) for business entities with aggregated annual turnover of less than $500 million (up from $50 million).

Development

12/7/2020


 
Common question our team will get asked is what environment we use to development our Warehouse Management Solution.

The structure of our WMS is we use MVC. MVC stands for Model, View, and Controller and C#. This is using the ASP.NET MVC Architecture. MVC is commonly used for developing modern user interfaces, which our WMS (TBO4) is. It is our fourth generation Supply Chain Solution that we have released over the last 20 years of building best of breed WMS and TMS solutions.

The user interface is then built using ReactJS and Node.js. React allows us to design simple views for each state in our WMS and TMS applications and the biggest benefit is React will efficiently update and render just the right component when your data changes. We know with a browser based application one of the most important points is to ensure rendering performance for the users.

Node.js is a platform built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime for easily building fast and scalable network applications. Our WMS and TMS is real time and uses our API as back end services.

From here our WMS and TMS screens have Kendo UI grid. Kendo UI grid is a powerful widget which allows us to present the data in a table representation. It is fast, light and complete. The Kendo UI grid is used for sorting, paging, searching and more.

Replenishment

9/7/2020


 
Replenishment is typically a task triggered by the need of the picking line. The item is typically picked from a bulk location and replenished to the pick face. The min / max rules are set by the WMS and our Warehouse Management Solution allows users to replenish the pick face while other WMS users are picking.

​For our WMS the Replenishment is released in our Pick Pack Manager. It creates a pick called Replenishment and the users are directed to the bin locations to replenish.

ISV Solution

Standards are very important and this is a great blog by Acumatica on ISV Solution Certification Guidance here.

Features

30/4/2020


 
Recently our update of our Supply Chain Solution includes the ability to display your Power BI dashboard in the framework of the WMS as an Insight Dashboard. Therefore as a user you can modify your own reports, have your KPI's display to the users and have up to date real time dashboards. This workspace can be unique per customer with the dashboards relevant for their business as it is your Power BI workspace which is displayed.

One of the common reports is a heat map for bin locations. It gives warehouse managers a strategy of looking at the efficiency of warehouse layout.

Another report with our FMCG customers is traceability reports. The user look at a batch number and see which supplier it was received from, which movements in the warehouse, and which customers it was supplied too.

Another feature we have added is icons for the quick pick buttons. These icons can be changed by customers as well.

One of the differentiating points of our Warehouse Management Solution is its completely flexible for each customer and each user. When deploying a software project the ability for the software to be flexible and customised is an important key to a successful outcome.

Portrait and Landscape orientation

13/3/2020


 
Devices have the ability to display in either portrait or landscape mode. Therefore as developers it should always be a consideration that your software will run by a variety of physical devices and users with different usage patterns. Some devices have physical keyboards and some devices force landscape or portrait mode. Usability must be high and therefore allowing for both orientations needs to be supported by the application.

In a lot of warehouse environments users could be using rugged PDA devices running Android or users may select using tablet devices. Tablet devices are often used on picking trolleys and also are the preferred unit for forklift drivers.

The software you decide to use for your business needs to adapt to the users's orientation. Our WMS and TMS is a browser based application and runs in both portrait and landscape orientation. We understand that clients will use a variety of devices. We have users using rugged devices such as Zebra TC 56, 57 and 52, Honeywell CT 60, CT 40, Cipherlab RS 51, 50 and Point Mobile. There are also users using tablet devices such as Samsung Galaxy Active 2.0, Windows Surface, and iPad's. With our TMS solution we have clients using phone devices such as Samsung and iPhones.
