Key WMS areas
Warehouse Advantage is a WMS designed for real-world warehouse processes - from receiving and put-away/flow-through, through inventory control and replenishment, to picking, packing, loading, and shipping. The solution is built on directed, optimized workflows and a "foundation of best practices," while also allowing you to build your own company-specific processes at the configuration layer.
In practice, this means you can change or add processes as your operations evolve, without disrupting warehouse work.
The cloud-based solutions described in case studies highlight, among other things, a responsive, extensible HTML5 layer and an open web services API.
Warehouse processes
The most important warehouse processes in a single WMS.
- Efficient receiving of deliveries and compliance checks
- Put-away and flow-through handling
- Ongoing management of inventory and locations
- Smooth processing of orders and priorities
- Replenishing picking locations when you need it
- Picking that guides employees step by step
- Packing, load preparation, and shipping
Configurable workflows
Build your own processes and update them as things change.
- A foundation of best practices for warehouse processes
- The ability to build your own, specific processes
- Workflow direction combined with the Infios One Mobile app
- Process changes reflected in task direction
- Tasks started and completed with just a few taps
- Simple operation makes it easier to learn and complete workflows faster
- Support for warehouse functions, including scanning
Slotting.IQ
Intelligent slotting and re-slotting for dynamic inventory.
- Optimizing inventory placement for picking and replenishment
- Analysis of turnover velocity and picking history (velocities)
- Grouping products frequently picked together (item clusters)
- Comparing scenarios by criteria (distance, replenishment, movements)
- Configurable rule sets: hard and soft constraints, weights, and storage conditions
- 3D visualizations, pick journey simulations, and cost-benefit calculations
- Recommended re-slotting moves passed to the WMS
Integrations and data
- Integration with ERP systems: Microsoft, Sage, NetSuite, SAP, and others
- Connection with materials handling equipment and warehouse automation
- Open web services API for data exchange
- A responsive, extensible HTML5 layer accessible from a browser
- Real-time operational data for warehouse decisions
- Flexible adaptation of integrations to the existing IT landscape
Slotting
Slotting.IQ organizes inventory placement by analyzing data and scenarios and recommends re-slotting moves. Optimization is based, among other things, on velocities, efficiency criteria, and storage rules, and the implementation of moves can be planned within the WMS.
Input data
Data collection: item master, warehouse layout, placement rules
Criteria
Defining optimization criteria and scope (zones or the entire warehouse)
Rules and weights
Configuring rule sets and weights to match operational requirements
Scenarios
Analysis and comparison of multiple "before/after" slotting scenarios
Visualization
Visualization of results: 3D, pick journey simulations, cost-benefit
Recommendations
Slot and re-slotting move recommendations passed to the WMS
Iteration
Iteration: slotting updates for variable and complex inventory
