More functions, more effectively integrated storage lifts

At the Transport Logistic 2013 (4th to 7th June, Munich), viastore systems GmbH presented a new release of its Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) viad@t. The Stuttgart company came up with some interesting new features that would benefit logistics service providers, retailers and manufacturing companies.

viad@t represents standard and proven features that clearly enhance the efficiency of warehouse management logistics service providers. These include multi-host capability, client capability and client-specific strategies, invoicing all storage services such as stock movements, storage times, value added services, managing different types of storage or the simple configurability of storage technology and strategies, such as storage space discovery, inventory allocation and replenishment strategies.

viad@tWMS functionality has been expanded not only for distribution centers, but also for production-related storage. The current viad@t7.5 version is able to integrate Lean lifts and Rotomat storage lifts by Hänel even more efficiently. For example, viad@t7.5 allows storage lifts to be managed not only as stand-alone devices, but also allows any number of these storage lifts to be considered in combination as a single order-pick station. In addition, the viad@t7.5 can integrate the lifts in the forklift control system, where operation is carried out entirely via wireless terminals. At the same time, efficient picking principles such as multi-pick is supported.

The standard WMS viad@t, which operates independent of databases, operating systems and hardware, maps all functions that are required between goods receipt and shipment. It consists of a basic package whose functions can be switched on or off, depending on the requirements, the type of warehouse, and the performance. This is why WMS is appropriate for complex logistics centers with various areas and high-performance, as it is for automated systems of low to medium transshipments or for conventional forklift-served logistics centers. It is highly flexible and over the years has conformed to growth, the changing requirements and the new processes of the company. Moreover, viad@t also offers all the modules required for controlling storage and retrieval machines, conveyor systems, sorters, picking systems and other mechanical components. In addition, it governs how complex material flow processes are controlled and visualised.

The software package is fully scalable in terms of function and performance. It employs the best possible strategy for any process. In addition to WMS core functions, such as inventory management, order control, cycle count, master data, print functions, user administration or control station function, additional customer-specific functions such as managing lots, serial numbers or the energy management can be implemented. It can be coupled to special forwarding, customs or shipping software using standardized interfaces. The WMS supports shuttle systems as well as all picking principles such as man-to-goods, goods-to-man, radio data transmission, pick-by-light, pick-by-voice, high-performance picking via HPPS or the viapick robot picking system. viad@t provides valuable help for the warehouse management as well: it automatically and dynamically selects the proper location, provides an optimum goods status report, and considers the inbound and relocation optimization. A user-dependent voice output supports the users and ensures that viad@t can be used worldwide. An extensive system of key figures facilitates the analysis and optimization of all processes.
