Warehouse management

Motivation of Warehouse managment solutions

Manual data entry is prone to errors - so it should be avoided if possible! These processes are automated with handheld computers and forklift terminals. By using industry standards, data can also be automatically processed across companies. This means that storage is reduced to two scans - the label and the storage location.

Terminals permanently installed on forklifts show the warehouse worker all the necessary information. As an example products are sorted according to the best-before date or certain articles are blocked. All processes can also be carried out with mobile data terminals or smartphones.

Barcode (GS1-128)
In addition to the EAN (GTIN), much more information can be saved in the barcode. For example, the NVE enables unambiguous identification and batch and production data can be imported automatically.

RFID
The RFID technology enables this data to be recorded even without visual contact - if necessary also completely autonomous! Status data can also be saved directly on the transponder.

Software system and functionalities

Create storage locations and record warehouse movements directly on site. Check and document the quality of the incoming deliveries. Keep an eye on your current inventory whether on the PC or mobile.

The warehouse application runs entirely in the browser, so it can be used on any number of end devices without complex software distribution.

Nevertheless, a permanent server connection is not necessary - you can also work offline using modern technologies. The warehouse movement is sent to the server as soon as a WLAN access point is available or a cell phone connection is available.
