Visual Produce – Traceability

• Receiving
• Picking
• Product Put-Away
• Product Let-Down (Pick Slot Replenishments)
• Physical Counts – Repacking & Processing
• Site-to-Site Transfers (Inter-Warehouse Transfers)
• Q.A. Inspection

• Use the Product Rotation Work Queue Board to setup your forklift drivers and monitor their work.
• Assign warehouse rooms to one or more forklift drivers to automatically start putting away newly received products that belong to a specific room and letting down product to replenish a pick slot’s quantity in that room.
• Prepare for the next day’s picking by performing a Replenishment Analysis. Find pick slots that are low on quantity and replenish them with a number of quantity calculated based on Sales Demand, Average usage, or simply up to maximum capacity. The system will automatically suggest which lot to use for replenishment to ensure that product is used in FEFO (First Expires First Out) order.
• Keep a watchful eye on your inventory by using our Expiring Product Analysis to find product that has expired or product that is going to expire within a number of days your manager specifies. Create a task assignment for someone to move these products into quarantine so that pickers don’t accidentally send your customers soiled product.

• Use our built-in programs to setup a transfer of product from one warehouse to another.
• WMS 3.0 automatically creates a pick job at the originating warehouse for someone to grab the product, and then automatically creates a receipt job at the destination warehouse in preparation.

• Enhanced Slotting: Designate Pick Slots separately from Reserve Slots to provide better guidance for workers.
• Rooms: Assign slots to rooms that describe their environment, such as coolers and dry rooms.
• Quarantine: Designate an area in your warehouse to store quarantined product for Q.A. Inspection and protect it from being picked or used in other operations.
• Staging Areas: Create special slots that are used as staging areas for specific purposes such as a delivery staging area in front of the truck dock, or receiving lock.

The What

• Item Number
• Quantity
• Lot Number
• GS1^® Attributes (Including GTIN)

The Where

• Product Suppliers (Where it came from)
• Product Location in warehouse (slots)
• Customers (who it went to)

The When

• Real-Time: Know where your product currently is and how many units.
• Historical: In the event of a recall, the system will tell you each slot a product has been stored in as well as the products that were positioned next to it in case of cross contamination.

• FIFO Support: First in First Out product rotation.
• FEFO Support: First Expires First Out product rotation.
• Ti-Hi Settings: Tell the system how you require your pallets to be built by number of cases per layer and by number of layers so that you know they will fit into your warehouse slots. Also, you can tell the system how your product suppliers build their pallets so that your receivers can anticipate whether or not they will need to rebuild the pallet when the product arrives.

• Use our comprehensive Work Queue Board to supply your managers with all the logistical tools needed in a day’s work with built-in displays. These tools include: Route Analysis, Truck and Route Assignments, Picker Roster, Picker Teams and Job Assignments.
• Use our scanner programs to enable your pickers to record the selected lot number, perform product substitutions, and record product shortage on the fly.
• Implement our One-Pass Picking methodology to optimize efficiency so that a picker never has to revisit the same area of the warehouse while picking for the same order.
• Assign large routes to a team of pickers so that the work gets automatically assigned to each team member in the correct stop sequence.
• Do you have customers that prefer their orders not be mixed with others? WMS 3.0 facilitates this by indicating on a per customer basis whether or not sharing pallets is tolerated.
• Do you have customers with special requirements? Write an internal note detailing any special instructions for any customer that will appear to a picker before picking begins. you can also specify a “minimum remaining product shelf life” so that the system will suggest grabbing fresher product.

• Setup a physical count using a wide range of criteria whether it be from a full warehouse count to a single room in the warehouse, or from categories of product to specific item numbers.
• Create templates of criteria to expedite setting up routine physical counts.
• Choose your inventory locking method to keep your slots locked until the count is finished or your slots unlock as soon as they are finished being counted.
• Assign multiple workers to a count to get the job done faster. You can assign by slot, item number, or manually.
• Review discrepancies using a consolidated display to allow for a count adjustment.

• Use the Receiving Work Queue Board to view expected arrivals and manage the Receiver Roster by date.
• Use our scanner programs to confirm quantity received at the dock or, if need be, adjust your Purchase Order to reflect what was truly received.
• Our scanner programs can also record data in a GS1-128^® barcode that can store the GTIN Number, Grower Lot Number, Expiration Date, and more into your database automatically. You can also maintain this information manually via workstation.
• The system prints pallet tags that clearly identify the product and include a barcode for our scanner programs.

• Use our Q.A. Inspection board to handle quarantined product.
• Identify product returned by a customer.
• Administratively return product to stock or dump product to waste.
• WMS 3.0 provides the operator an interface to enter reason codes and notes pertaining to the product that was handled (such as temperature, spoilage, etc.)

• Our Repack & Processing Board is designed to operate with a touch screen to facilitate the data entry required for the procedure.
• Simply identify which raw materials you intend to use and the system will automatically send a pick job to a picker of the operator’s choosing to bring the raw materials to the processing area.
• Specify finished goods as you make them instead of trying to predict the outcome. After all, it’s hard to say how many 10lbs bags and 5lbs bags your crew will make from a large bin of onions.
• Once the job is processed, the system will automatically establish an audit trail to discern which products were used to create any finished goods.
