'Product identification & traceability solutions for warehousing, manufacturing & logistics'

Traditional warehouse management systems have often proven too complex and expensive to implement for the business benefits derived.

The Label&Track™ Barcode/RFID Driven Traceability and Warehouse solution concentrates on the key areas most likely to yield maximum business benefits.

And with the Label&Track™ Logistics Module this is all driven from a simple pallet scan at the point of work!

LOGISTICS MODULE

Pallet Scan

A scan of the label applied to the pallet creates a record of the pallet in the system and specifies an initial location.
The ERP system SKU level inventory is then immediately updated with accurate real time production data.

Receipting & Put Away

When a pallet arrives at the finished goods warehouse it is receipted into the system and put away to a specific location by scanning the pallet label and the location label. This is available for receipting of manufactured goods and purchased goods (against a purchase order). One step or two step receipting and put away is available, with directed put away if required.

Pick, Pack & Dispatch

Upon receipt of a sales order/picking request from the ERP system, a pick list is generated on the handheld terminal or on paper. Warehouse staff use the handheld terminal to pick the appropriate pallets and product from the specified bulk or pick face locations, to ensure rotation of inventory on a FIFO basis. The pallet label is scanned and variances between ordered and picked quantities are highlighted. At dispatch, container and vehicle details can be captured and multiple copies of the bill of lading printed. The ERP system is immediately updated with details of the goods dispatched, to drive the invoicing process. An intermediate packing step is available if required.

Inventory Management

Manage inventory movements between locations within a warehouse by scanning the pallet label and the new location for it. Movements between warehouses can either be captured as adhoc movements by scanning a pallet out of a location and into a new location in the new warehouse, or as a directed transfer order from the ERP system which is then picked and shipped, and then receipted at the destination. Alerts for pick face replenishment are generated when the quantity in the pick face falls below a predetermined minimum pick face quantity for the product.

Inventory Maintenance & Adjustments

The characteristics of the pallet include amending the number of units on the pallet (in the case of damaged cartons) or reclassifying the product on the pallet.

Stock Take & Cycle Counting

Undertake stock takes very effectively by scanning locations and pallet labels. Individual pallet identification highlights variances as specific pallets during a reconciliation, improving the focus for recounting. Quantities only need to be counted and entered for pick face locations. When the stock take is finalised the ERP system is updated with the results. Individual parts of the warehouse can be selected at any time for cycle counts which are also undertaken by scanning pallet and location labels, with the ERP system updated with the finalised results. Effective regular cycle counts should reduce the need for regular full stock takes.
