ECO GigaWarehouse - Additional Features
Blind Checking Upon Receipt, Handling Quantity Discrepancies
Raktári bevételezéskor kézi mobileszközzel történő vonalkódos leolvasással történik az un. vak ellenőrzés, az ellenőrzött mennyiség eltárolásra kerül. Amennyiben eltérés van az ellenőrzött mennyiség és a várt beérkezés mennyisége között, akkor színkiemeléssel jelezi a rendszer az eltérést a felhasználónak, hogy beavatkozás szükséges a beszerzési rendelésen. Ha az ellenőrzött mennyiség több, mint a várt beérkezendő mennyiség, akkor a bizonylat feldolgozás során egy figyelmeztető üzenet jelenik meg, ami a beszerzési rendelésen egy új sor létrehozásának szükségességét jelzi.
Assigning Multiple Warehouse Workers (Receiving Group) to a Receipt
During the receipt of large quantities of items, it is possible to have the checking performed not by a single warehouse worker but by a group designated for this purpose. This way, the warehouse receiving task can be completed more quickly.
Handling Unexpected Items in Quarantine
In cases where more of a product arrives than ordered, or an unordered product arrives, there is the option to place these items into quarantine. Depending on the decision made, items in quarantine can be transferred to a purchase order or a return delivery note.
Special Features in the Storage Process (Labeling, Assortment, Package Damage)
The system supports the relabeling operation of incoming products and maintains a record in a separate storage area until the operation is completed, as well as handling damaged packages.
The system also supports the sorting of incoming products, receipt by variant, and keeps a record in a separate storage area until the operation is completed (this is necessary when the supplier manages all variants of an item under one item number).
Application of Sophisticated Storage and Retrieval Logic
Application of storage logic tailored to the specific needs of the company, which creates appropriate storage suggestions for commissioning spaces and high storage areas for efficient storage purposes. The retrieval logic compiles practically assembled pick lists, taking into account the traversal paths of the warehouse locations.
Assigning Multiple Warehouse Workers (Storage Group) to a Storage Task
The storage task for large quantities of incoming goods can be assigned not just to one warehouse worker, but to a storage group specifically defined for this purpose. This allows the storage task to be completed more quickly.
Intelligent Order Tracking and Delivery Channels in Retail (B2C) Processes
Orders can be categorized into so-called delivery channels, each with its own characteristics (e.g., type of package label, checkpoint). The order tracking breaks down the orders according to the delivery channels, showing the consolidated status information of the orders (e.g., pickable, not pickable, in process, completed). From the consolidated data, it’s possible to drill down to view the details.
Support for Wave Picking
It is possible to manually or automatically consolidate orders with small quantities into a single picking task (wave picking). This way, a warehouse worker can efficiently complete orders that have been consolidated into a picking wave.
Two-Level Picking Verification
A checker can be assigned to picking, who performs the verification using barcode scanning. If there is a discrepancy between the picked and verified quantities, a second round of verification is conducted by a so-called Supervisor checker on the products where discrepancies were found.
Flexible Management of Picking Discrepancies
After a picking discrepancy is identified, it’s possible to initiate a so-called faulting process, as part of which the faulted product is moved to a separate storage area and automatic internal communication starts towards sales.
Parcel Preparation for Postal and Courier Services
Unique package labels are printed for each delivery channel, an electronic consignment note is prepared for the postal and courier services, and the package is sent to the appropriate delivery point.
Special Features in the Picking Process
Orders requiring special attention – such as express orders, orders containing oversized or problematic items – are provided with special handling.
Automatic Internal Messages Between Warehouse and Sales
The warehouse system frequently communicates internally with the sales department. Status interfaces ensure that sales can always correctly see the current (warehouse) status of an order, or for example, if a discrepancy between the picked quantity and the sales order quantity is discovered during post-picking verification, then sales are informed about it.
Barcode Identification of Products, Warehouse Locations, and Packages
For clear and error-free identification, products, warehouse locations, and packages are given unique barcodes, by which a mobile handheld device identifies them through barcode scanning.
Warehouse Location Optimization, Commissioning Space Restocking
Warehouse Location Optimization: The system makes suggestions on how to consolidate the stocks of low-utilization storage locations into a single location to optimize utilization.
Commissioning Space Restocking: The system makes suggestions to ensure the commissioning spaces are restocked in a timely manner.
Use of Mobile Handheld Devices in Warehouse Processes
Warehouse tasks – such as storage, picking, moving, and inventory – can be performed with a handheld mobile device, which ensures paperless operations and clear, barcode-based identifications during activities.
Management of Warehouse Workers According to Their Roles
Setting the roles of warehouse workers and considering these roles in warehouse processes. For example, setting the ‘oversized’ attribute can control who is authorized to pick oversized items.
Periodic Inventory with Two-Round Verification
The accurate inventory is conducted in parallel by two independent inventory groups. The inventory results of the two groups are handled separately, and any discrepancies are reviewed by a so-called Supervisor inventory checker.
Management of Customer Consignment Inventory
Recording the inventory of items placed in the customer consignment warehouse and the simple settlement of consumption with the partner.
Management of Supplier Consignment Inventory
Managing supplier consignment arrivals and sales derived from them. Keeping records of the turnover of supplier consignment items, supporting periodic settlements with the supplier.
Product Turnover Calculation and ABC Analysis
Products can be categorized into turnover classes, which values can be automatically maintained using the turnover calculation function. ABC analysis can also be requested for the products.
