Total Solution for Warehouse & Supply Chain Management

DEPOT MASTER is a supply chain and warehouse management system that can handle one or many storage facilities simultaneously. When multiple storage facilities are being managed, an intranet/internet server is used to handle messaging among them for data and information consolidation.

 

Depot Master provides information and management tools on conditions and events history on the merchandise located in cartons/bulks, pallets or container formats. Namely: load assembly, sorting, receiving, shipping, transport loading, inter/intra warehouse moves, storage.conditions.

It provides physical identification and counting at storage location levels. The information is made available at different levels of detail, in real time, in query format , report format or electronic spread sheets adapted to each user's individual needs.

Product Production (family, type of product,type of packaging, etc.), batches, dates (manufacture,expiration), cartons, pallets, containers, quantities (pieces, weights, etc.), states, categories. Label printing.

Receiving Programmed (receiving plan) or unprogrammed, ASN order (electronically received), product and quantity control, inspection and storage conditions, proposed storage locations.Receiving reports forwarded to sender and internet/intranet server. Merchandise returns.

Inventory Location (storage facility, sectors,racks, positions, picking, staging, trucks, classes, states, restrictions) merchandise moves between locations,inventories, physical count, stock controls and re supply,reorganization, proposed automatic stowage(following optimization rules), discarded product destruction.

Shipping Shipping and transit plans, states, quantities (intended number of units to ship, units at facility, units loaded) arranged by cargo/destination/product. Automated processes and reports to comply with plans. Cargo loading and checkout. Generation of cargo documents. Departure notification to destination and to the internet/intranet server.

It consists of two modules:

 
 

SERMOD (Internet/intranet server module)(optional)

Is an internet/intranet communications hub, a data base repository, an information forwarding and an information handling and analysis module. It contains the data that allows the on-line cargo tracking and tracing. It is also an on-line analytical processing system.

OPMOD (Operations Module)

Is a plant/warehouse client/server based operations module, which handles all the different operations cycles.Each OPMOD constitutes on itself a warehouse management system with its own data and operations structure.

 
Operations are executed using networked PC terminals and hand held terminals running on wireless LANs OPMOD registers inventory moves, merchandise locations at the storage facility. It generates its own bar coded labels and events logs . It also processes customized reports according to the user's needs. OPMOD sends information to SERMOD for its consolidation with that of other storage facilities oroperations centers . Nonetheless, it operates on its own either when used in single storage facility mode or multistorage facility mode. If the internet server becomes temporarily unable to operate, the operation at the plant will not be in any way affected thanks to the autonomy of OPMOD's functions.The different OPMOD modules send updated information to SERMOD and enable the user to access the information sent to SERMOD by other OPMODs that integrate the supply chain.mation sent to SERMOD by other OPMODs that integrate the supply chain.
