WAREHOUSE MANAGEMENT. CHAPTER 5: IN HOUSE WAREHOSE TRANSPORT

In House Transport with a WMS Program

            Warehouse transportation moves SKUs or orders by vehicle (employee or computer controlled) or load carrying surface above variable or fixed line travel. Possible travel paths:

- Moving SKUs from receiver dock to storage area or landfill, to in-feed AS / RS station, to the location / location of the ship across the dock, or to the selected area

- Transferring SKUs from storage or placement positions or feeding stations AS / RS through and from selected areas to packing areas of orders through real stations and entering staging areas or delivery vehicles.

Warehouse transport is not a WMS supported transaction, but it is a warehouse transaction system. The design team develops TO and FROM locations to ensure accurate and timely SKUs.

The purpose of transportation design is:

1. To ensure that the SKU is transferred on time from the receiving dock, storage delivery station, or pick-up point / station In properly designed transportation, while the SKU travels by conveyor,

The identification of the SKU can be read / scanned by the fixed-position reader / scanner.

2. That after the SKU is scanned / read, it is transferred to the drop / delivery station.

3. That after the SKU reaches the delivery station, in-house transportation will transfer SKU to in-feed station AS / RS crane, storage position, delivery location or option. At each Cases, SKU read / scanned, scan transaction is completed, and the latest information is sent to the WMS computer.

Parameters of Inhouse Transport Design Parameters

            To ensure timely and accurate delivery of SKUs, a warehouse moves SKUs

from the receiving dock, pick-up location, or packing station order, and scans SKUs 

or commands. SKU or order scan indicates the recommended SKU or shipping sequnce / drop point.

Warehouse In House Transport (Warehouse In House Transport)

Travel path options are:

- fixed travel routes, carrying or carrying surfaces or containers moving in 

pre-determined directions between two locations.

- variable travel paths, in which human-powered surfaces or containers move 

across man-determined travel routes between two locations.

- one-way transport transactions or one command has a transport carrier or a

 moving ship with a SKU or an order by way of travel from the delivery station 

to the drop point and returns empty to the delivery station.

Other important factors in designing In-House transport are:

- Physical characteristics of SKU or sequence and WMS identification.

 For each component transport, the SKU or order length, width, height, weight, and

 lower support section and WMS identification are factors that affect efficient and 

cost-efficient transport.

- SKU or order volume (or number). The SKU or volume of orders can be a spike or 

continuous and is determined by queue delivery and queue of delivery and travel stations.

Using Identification Server to Generate Pick-Up Signals

            All vendors sending SKUs are dismantled and staged at the receiving dock.

 In conventional warehouses that use forklifts or US / RS cranes, after the receiving 

officer completes the acceptance update by including each WMS and SKU 

identification to the WMS computer, the officer applies WMS identification to each SKU,

and identification is read / scanned at pickup and delivery stations (P / D), 

and a message is sent to the computer indicating that the SKU is ready for retrieval.

Drop / Delivery Point Identified (Identified Drop / Delivery Point)

            To complete the transfer or transfer of the SKU, the WMS computer 

communicates the suggested drop / delivery SKU to internal transport. 

Trucking picks, moves, and drops SKUs at the suggested delivery point / point.

 To ensure efficient, cost-efficient, and timely transport SKUs, each drop point, 

storage / retrieval position, or work station is included in the WMS program.

Master Carton / Pallet Storage Vehicle Warehouse

- In a one-storey warehouse, delivery conveyor or station D is a one-way journey 

from the AS / RS aisle to the SKU transfer point.

- In multiple warehouses, for high floors, US / RS cranes have at least one or t

wo SKU delivery elevations or station Delivery locations.

Inhouse Transportation: Horizontal and Vertical Design

            SKUs can be transported from one warehouse position to another through a

 horizontal or vertical transport design. The horizontal transport design moves SKUs 

or commands between drops above or above a warehouse floor.

There are six manual or mechanical transportation designs that can be used for

 in-house transportation:

1. Horizontal transport on or above the floor

2. Horizontal transport on or above the floor

3. Overhead powered or not moving horizontally

4. Horizontal or powered horizontal transport

5. Appointed above or below the vertical floor

6. Vertical transport is powered or nonpowered

Transport is vertically powered or nonpowered
