The Vertical Lift Module as a Component of your Digitalization Strategy
Digitalization, automation, industry 4.0 and smart logistics are the buzzwords that are discussed in many companies. Intralogistics has numerous prime examples of a well implemented digitalization strategy. In sectors where the storage and picking of items are not yet part of the core business, there are still longstanding structures with manual registration tasks, little transparency, and no interconnectedness.
How Can SSI LOGIMAT® Aid Your Digital Transformation?
Extremely simple, user-friendly software allows the following approaches to be implemented without major IT outlay:
Communication between warehouse and ERP system
100% transparency over stock and orders, even from the office
Paperless picking
Use of barcode or RFID technology
Pick by Light
Printing receipts and labels directly in the process
The inventory is almost incidental, thanks to clean data
Which Requirements Must Be Met?
Simple approaches, such as Pick by Light, or the use of barcode scanners, can easily be introduced and work straight away as stand-alone devices, without being connected to a superordinate system.
However, connecting to a superordinate system is usually beneficial if you want to utilize the full range of benefits and digitalization components. But even this is no longer a major hurdle. Virtually all common ERP systems now support different interface protocols by default.
Some small and medium-sized companies have a certain amount of catching up to do in terms of clean data and master data management. Well-administered master data are crucial for any type of digitalization. The standard WAMAS® LOGIMAT software can make do with very little information, and only needs the item number, item description, and quantity unit to be fully functional.
SSI LOGIMAT® Can Be Integrated Into Every Digital Strategy
Whether you have only just started digitalization, or already have a digital factory, the SSI LOGIMAT® with its flexible software solutions can be integrated as a direct component. Direct connection to a superordinate ERP or WMS interconnects your processes and creates transparency. Are you planning any other software projects? Not a problem – start operating SSI LOGIMAT® with manual processes, and get busy preparing everything for future integration. Thanks to modular and flexible software components, digitalization in your warehouse can be individually integrated into your long-term strategy.
