OSIRIS controlled warehouse
The warehouse is an important part of the modern supply chain. Efficient warehouse operation depends on the deployment of a suitable Warehouse Management System (WMS) in combination with otherlogistics technologies (handling technology, mobile terminals) selected with regard to the type of material flows and the course of related business processes.
Features and benefits
- Increase in warehouse throughput, higher utilisation of warehouse capacity, improved organisation of warehouse processes
- reduction in the number of incomplete, erroneous or late deliveries
- reducing the impact of human factors and human error on warehouse activity and performance
- obtaining up-to-date and accurate data on the status and movement of the warehouse and the level of work in progress of warehouse operations
- reducing the number of physical inventories
- compliance with required loading and unloading strategies
- effective management of the order picking and picking process with respect to the planned dispatch dates
- easy and fast traceability of goods movements
The OSIRIS system is designed to manage warehouse operations in all types of logistics chains. Thanks to its openness, independence from the database environment and the parent enterprise information system, it is a suitable solution for most companies with highlogistics activities (warehouse and distribution centres, logistics complexes, wholesalers, manufacturing companies with complex material flows, etc.).). The full use of the features of the three-layer architecture and all modern integration standards allows the system to be operated independently or as part of a wider information environment.
Advanced warehouse process management
The core of the OSIRIS system is a detailed record of the status and movement of the warehouse and the management of all processes taking place in it. The system supports all common types of warehouses (purchasing, intermediate, shipping, distribution, customs, etc.) and common loading and unloading strategies (FIFO, FEFO, LIFO) adapted to the warehouse and handling technology used (serial and infeed pallet racks, shelf racks, pallet and crate stacker systems, paternosters, etc.).
The basic functions of the system allow
- monitor the status and movement of goods in real time at the required level of detail (including e.g. expiry date, serial number, batch number and other necessary attributes) and its location on warehouse handling units and locations
- manage warehouse operations (receiving, dispatching, reloading, shipping) by creating handling plans and confirming them
- record the movement of returnable packaging
- evaluate services related to warehouse operations when provided on a commercial basis (storage, handling, picking, packing, etc.)
Smart, flexible and efficient warehouse
The modularity and openness of the OSIRIS system allow its functionality to be adapted to customer requirements and to continuously changing operating conditions (stored assortment, warehouse structure, technical equipment and handling). The system supports the use of automatic identification (barcode, RFID) in all warehouse operationsand thus facilitates the input of data necessary for the real-time management and monitoring of material flows. The system's resources enable direct control of automated warehouse technologies (stackers, paternosters, receiving and dispatching lines, etc.). The system is able to work with most common enterprise information systems (ERP) as well as with some other specialized applications (customs agenda, forwarding management, etc.).
