What can a WMS do for you and your warehouse?
A Warehouse management system provides the following key benefits when implemented.
Don't depend on your warehouse manager
Being dependent on the efficiency and productivity of an individual for a business brings huge risk to the business as all business owners will tell you. Optimus brings about a controlled process making sure that you won't have any issues expanding the warehouse in the future or if you have any future staff changes. The process stays the same and everything is electronically managed. Nothing is manual.
Find where all your products are
By providing the exact location of the goods sough after, you're actually cutting down time taken to figure out where things are. The FIFO (First in first out) feature also provides you with control over shelf life and better material cycling. Moreover, the accuracy you can get by scanning the Barcodes or RFID reduces human error.
Optimize your warehouse space
Optimus can give you a view of how well your warehouse is being utilized. This graphical piece of information will allow you to make a decision on whether to sub-let your warehouse or move towards getting a bigger space.
Reduction on labor costs and manual handling
Doing a pick and pack is a matter of keying in a lot number (unique lot number produced when storing of incoming goods), going to a location and then doing the normal bar code scanning and pick. This information will be sent over the wireless LAN and provides the management real time information on the warehouse performance.

Implementation View
The following pictures are from an implementation that we have done describing the relevant details and processes.
RFID Gantry - Detectst the RFID tag whenever it passses through. This then triggers a function in the WMS to request what the action was for allowing for accountability and tracking. |
Mobile application for the operators to use. Provides the functionality to update location, check stock status, delivery/receipt and stock take. |
Example of the Lot number uniquely produced to track that particular pallet or product. This can be bar coded as well. |
RFID Scanner - This particular gantry had 4 RFID detectors attached to it. |
Example of an RFID SAMSys detector to detect the RFID tags. |
