Warehouse Automation
Module |
The
ongoing evolution of computing technology continues
to provide new solutions to old problems at
a rate that can exceed even the most forward
looking technology leaders. One of the most
recent technologies that has generated a tremendous
amount of excitement is Wi-Fi or Radio Frequency
(RF) networking. While coffee shops and major
league baseball ballparks are beginning to
offer wireless services for consumers, medium-sized
businesses are increasingly leveraging the technology
to their advantage. For distribution and manufacturing
customers of Sage Software, the low cost of Wi-Fi
solutions allows them to consider an advanced infrastructure
for their warehouse that previously was not an
option. Sage MAS 500 has seized this opportunity
with the release of Warehouse Automation. Warehouse
Automation will provide Sage MAS 500 customers
a wireless solution for warehouse personnel who
need to perform tasks such as order picking and
cycle countsand instantlyfeed that back into Sage
MAS 500 with proper validation.
Warehouse Automation Functionality
The Warehouse
Automation system provides five main areas of functionality.
First is the ability to use a hand-held device
that allows the user to scan bar codes while performing
the various data entry tasks listed in the Handheld
Device section below. Second, it provides radio
frequency communication to the host system, allowing
real time validated updates to occur. Third, a
user interface is provided to allow users to reconcile
data records that fail validation. Fourth, the
ability for handheld users to work offline in the
event the Sage MAS 500 Server or RF connection
is temporarily lost. Information captured while
offline is automatically uploaded when the connection
becomes active. Finally, the Warehouse Automation
system allows users to print item bar code labels
that have been designed using the BarCode LabelXpert
Designer. |
