An EXO integrated solution providing on-line real time Warehouse Management Software

Functionality:

Receiving

Deliveries are checked in by individual pallet or carton. All relevant information is entered into the system and a licence plate is assigned. This is a unique licence number, which is printed onto a label. Usually a SSCC label (Serial Shipper Container Code) and fully EAN compliant.

Putaway

The WMS transmits the licence number and a vacant position within the warehouse via radio frequency terminal to a store person. The store person is instructed to scan the licence plate and is directed to a designated location, scans the position number on the shelf to verify the location is correct and places the pallet in the location.

Cross Docking

The system has a range of cross docking facilities, which allows for receipt and subsequent distribution of product without it ever having to be stored in a conventional sense.
  

Order Picking

The system ensures that orders are picked in priority, spread over the pool of pickers. The correct product can be automatically determined by FIFO, batch or use by date. Picking can be undertaken from fixed or random picking faces.

Replenishment

The system monitors the number of full pallets, cartons or units in a picking face and automatically produces a replenishment request when a nominated replenishment level is reached.

Dispatch

Finished orders are brought to the dispatch area or dock via the store person. After verifying the drop location the warehouse management system can automatically print out transport documentation and dispatch labels. The warehouse management system will also notify the ERP/Accounting System of the exact number of products picked for that order and an invoice can be generated.
