Features
WMS Control without the Drawbacks
RFgen Warehouse Director is a flexible WMS-lite extension for your RFgen mobile environment for advanced warehouse operations. Warehouse Director provides the core benefits of WMS control without the prohibitive cost or risk of WMS or an ERP module.
- Direct Materials without WMS. Intelligently route materials, workers, and vehicles for streamlined putaway, replenishment, picking, and other warehouse processes.
- Drive Powerful Efficiency Gains. Maximize productivity, efficiency, and throughput by eliminating bottlenecks and wasted productivity. Guide inbound-to-outbound workflows for maximum throughput.
- Increase Revenue, Not Liability. Uncover hidden efficiencies to reduce operating costs with next-level warehouse control. Low-effort maintenance translates into short ROI and accelerated growth.
- Turn Reactive into Proactive. Gain the agility to proactively anticipate, plan, monitor, and act on critical decisions in real-time.
System-directed Movement Automation
- Directs movements by assigning suggestions to a person, device, vehicle or robot with an optimized route to possible locations based on existing inventory database.
- Reduces collisions, traffic jams and productivity-draining tasks such as backtracking, commuting, and the start, stop and stutter of manual transactions.
- Automates stock flows while enforcing rule sets for FIFO, LIFO, FEFO, lot-based movements, special storage requirements (flammable materials, refrigerated items, etc.), and more.
- Equips warehouse managers with tools and data to proactively manage continuous inventory movement with minimal effort or upkeep.
- Build performance dashboards to monitor inventory flows, stock levels, employee productivity and track warehouse KPIs.
Guided Pick Routing
- Enhances outbound order picking by creating directed pick path suggestion for SOs and WOs based on historical usage.
- Guides employees on optimized routes for picking orders individually, in batches, waves, or by splitting requests across multiple locations to fulfill an order.
- Enables intelligent batching of sales order picks by order type, weight, carrier, and other specialized attributes, with audited validation and ship confirmation.
- Drives productivity by trimming travel time, mistakes and searches for lost inventory.
Inbound Optimization
- Simplifies inbound receiving and put away processes by watching incoming product to generate suggestions based on prior inventory transactions.
- Directs fast-moving items to preferred locations, such as at the end of aisles or nearest the shipping the dock.
- If designated location is abruptly filled, dynamically reassigns a new put away suggestion.
- Redirects product to the shipping dock rather than the warehouse when needed for outbound shipment or customer order, accelerating inbound-to-outbound flows.
Streamlined Replenishment
- Improves the speed, efficiency and accuracy in a rapid, ongoing stock replenishment process.
- Monitors picking areas to ensure optimal inventory balances are maintained, providing real-time visibility for proactive replenishment.
- Automatically generates replenishment requests when stock levels fall below the designated threshold value.
- Avoids delays and lost profit due to stock-outs while reducing need for stockpiling backstock, freeing up working capital and valuable warehouse space.
Extends Existing RFgen Solution
- Easier, faster and lower risk to implement, support and modify for IT personnel than complex WMS systems or specialized ERP modules.
- Non-invasive, flexible bolt-on for your RFgen environment. No additional ERP modules needed to achieve an automated warehouse system.
- Leverages existing inventory database and ERP-defined business rules.
- Suggestion-oriented rules offer a dynamic, low-maintenance alternative to individually hardcoded WMS rules for directed movement.
- Seamless integration with mobile devices, IoT/IIoT devices, barcode labeling software, RFID tags, and more
