Warehouse Features - Modules
WIRELESS PICKING
Designed to move paper-based picking processes into the
wireless world. This core module supports multiple styles
of RF picking, picking stations, split pack-sizes,
batch-pick and repack, shipment labels, and warehouse
packing slips. Pick bins are replenished using Hot
Replenishment, which is the process of requesting that
inventory be replenished to pick bins to meet current sales
order requirements.
WIRELESS RECEIVING
Designed to move paper-based receiving processes into the
wireless world. This core module supports paperless
check-in, product and carton labeling. It also supports
non-PO receiving, for warehouses that allow receipt of
products into the warehouse that do not appear on a purchase
order.
STOCK LOCATOR
Designed to provide visibility into the physical location of
goods in the warehouse facilitating the movement of those
goods within the warehouse.
WEB DISPATCH
This is the web-based user interface for Accellos, accessed
with Internet Explorer from any client PC. The Web Dispatch
core module provides reporting capabilities to monitor daily
warehouse operations in real time, and to generate
historical reports. Web Dispatch also displays sales, work
and purchase orders in the warehouse. To allow warehouse
managers to control order processing in the warehouse via
Web Dispatch, you should purchase the Order Management
module.
ORDER MANAGEMENT
This module allows you to plan your warehouse activities,
allocate stock to specific customers according to your
corporate policies, and manage your fill rate and
backorders.
MULTI-ZONE
A zone is an area within a physical location where inventory
is stored or different activities are performed. A zone
serves to organize stock and warehouse staff workloads. The
Multi Zone module allows you define up to 26 zones. This
module enables zone picking, pick and pass picking,
multi-zone simultaneous and sequential picking, and
replenishment by zone.
EOL WORKFLOW, UPS DOMECTIC & DHL DOMESTIC
This module provides the ability to launch definable
workflows upon the completion of sales order process. It
ships with predefined workflows that generate Bill of Lading
documents, integration to the both the UPS and DHL provided
shipping systems for Domestic US shipments.
LOTS/SERIAL/EXPIRY
This module allows attributes to be assigned to a product.
An attribute is characteristic of a product that
differentiates it from other products of the same type, such
as lot number, serial number, expiry date, color, size… The
attribute number appears in a field after the main product
number, separated by a character delimiter such as a slash.
This module tracks attributes through the warehouse and
provides advanced allocation and inventory controls for
attributes.
ADVANCED REPLENISHMENT
This module supports Advanced Replenishment, which is the
process of requesting that inventory be replenished from
overstock bins to pick bins before products are actually
required to fill sales orders. Warehouses are configured to
use one of two types of advance replenishment: min/max, or
days on hand. Min/max replenishment is based on a predefined
minimum quantity of product that must be in pick bins. Days
on hand replenishment is based on a defined minimum number
of days that the product must be available in pick bins.
When a dispatcher runs the Advanced Replenishment function
in Web Dispatch, the system issues replenishment requests
for bins that are found to be below this minimum.
KITTING
A kit is a unique product composed of a number of other
products, sold as a single unit. The kitting functionality
enables the collecting and assembling of individual products
to create a new, saleable product unit.
CONTAINER RECEIVING
This module enables the process of receiving products into
the warehouse against the inbound manifest rather than
individual purchase orders. This simplifies check-in,
improves accuracy, and speeds your operations. This module
also provides the ability to break outbound sales orders
into deliveries.
LICENSE PLATES
This module provides a tool to assign License Plates to
groups of products. License Plates can contain similar or
different items. It is often convenient to track serial
numbers by License Plates. Pre-pack assortments in License
Plates can be allocated and picked even though the order is
for the individual items.
CARTON SPLITTING
Using dimensional data and standard boxes, this module
enables the splitting of a “pick-and-pack” order into
cartons before releasing it for picking. This facilitates
picking to final carton in many environments.
PUTAWAY/SLOTTING
This module enables directed putaway, which allows a putaway
driver to search for an appropriate bin to which to move a
product during Receiving, Fill Bins, and Direct Move
functions. Suggestions provided to the user are based on
empty bins, or current bin locations. The module also
provides slotting reports to improve productivity.
MULTI-LOCATION/SITE TRANSFER
The Multi-Location/ Site Transfer module allows a single
Accellos installation to manage multiple locations, controls
visibility between locations, and provides tools for
efficiently.
RMAS
This module enables Returned Materials Authorizations
(RMAs), which allows customers to return products to the
warehouse. It automatically generates purchase order for the
returned goods, with the appropriate RMA codes.
PACKAGING
The packaging functionality supports a warehouse with
substantial repackaging operations. It helps prioritize and
manage the repackaging lines.
CAROUSELS/CONVEYORS
This module supports various brands of horizontal carousels
and vertical lift modules (VLM), plus provides support for
conveyor automation.
MULTI-COMPANY/3PL
This functionality supports distribution centers that
service multiple companies or are third-party logistic (3PL)
providers, and multi-company warehouses. 3PLs are
specialized ‘outsource’ warehouse operators.
MULTI-CARRIER SHIPPING TOOLKIT
This module provides a standard set of interface points that
can be used to integrate popular multi-carrier shipping
systems like ClipperShip and Imagine.
WEB ORDER ENTRY
This module enables purchase orders to be entered into
Accellos One Warehouse through Web Dispatch. Web order entry
is used by warehouses that do not have a host system, by
third-party logistics (3PL) providers that do not use a
single host system, or to provide a web order-entry portal
suitable for B2B sales.
RFID TOOLKIT
The RFID Toolkit provides a standard set of integration
points that can be used by an RFID middleware provider to
develop specific RFID enabled functions within the
warehouse. |
