Warehouse/Pallet Tracking

The Imprint Warehouse/Tracking system allows sites to be configured into identifiable areas and to track movement and current position of stock, finished stock, work-in-progress, e.g. sections, direct mail items, etc. within those areas.

The system which can handle multiple sites, can be configured site to site in a variety of ways, from very simple areas, white paper warehouse, machine room, despatch, etc. to very detailed layouts, warehouse, area, bay, rack, shelf, etc.

It can operate using fixed Shop Floor Data stations, or by mobile hand-held wireless palm computers.

Bar-coded pallet /box labels are produced by the system including Shop Floor Data Capture station, if the item does not already have one. All an operator has to do is shoot the barcode on the pallet or box, and shoot the barcode on the area wall or shelf. The position of the item is then logged back to the main system.

An enquiry window allows users to locate items very quickly by a range of criteria: stock code, job number, section, picking-note for Finished Stock, etc.

A site map that runs in real time can show free space and item locations laid out as per your actual factory unit.

Because the function is so simple, and that anyone armed with a palm scanner can periodically shoot a few items as they are going about their business, it is a very effective solution to an irritating time-consuming and therefore costly problem.
