Warehouse configuration
Racking
management is an important part of controlling a warehouse. By
uniquely identifying each bay, column and row the system will know
the precise location of each stock item.
Directed operations using barcode scanners will
ensure that staff are in the correct location for picking, putting
away, moving stock or performing stock checks.
As part of the WMS implementation process the physical
dimensions of your racking will be entered into the WMS via the
easy-to-use racking configurator.
Capacity, size, weight, storage options and specialist rules are
then applied to the layout. These rules ensure that only the
correct product(s) can be put into each bay location - the system
will not allow invalid products to be added to the wrong bay.
Bays can be designated as picking bays (containing loose
products), pallet bays or a combination of both. Auto-replenishment
rules and threshold can be established so that once stock levels
reach a low value, new stock can be added to top up the levels.
The racking configurator can easily accommodate any changes to the
warehouse layout, for example increasing a bay dimensions or adding
additional racking. All stock operations are logged to enable
auditing to be performed at any time to identify product movements
or determine requirements for staff training.
