System DescriptionSystem Description
Solvo.WMS System Architecture
The system is built on client-server architecture, and contains the following major components: DBMS, Core, Interface, Gateway.
DBMSThe system database is used for data storage. This system is compatible with the extremely low-cost Oracle Standard Edition One DBMS.
SYSTEM CORESystem core, based on Unix (Linux) kernel. This is the core of Solvo.WMS, the powerhouse behind all data management.
INTERFACESystem user interfaces provide graphical representation of data on desktop computers (running on either Windows or Unix OS) and wireless terminal interfaces.
GATEWAYMiddleware is an interface module, enabling smooth interaction between the Enterprise Resource Planning software and Solvo.WMS. It comprises two parts, which have been developed jointly by Solvo and the ERP suppliers.

Working with Vehicles
Each vehicle can be defined to work with specific type of loads and locations.
Examples:
Loader can work with pallets only in floor locations or shelf locations.
Handcart as a vehicle can work with pallets in floor locations.
Worker can work with a box in floor location.

Personnel
Two categories of employees work with the system: managers and operators.
Manager has management functions and works with WMS using PC.
Operator works with inventory according to tasks from WMS and using radio terminal screen.
The system allows to control which functions and commands are available for each operator. In addition, allowed working areas can be defined.
Manager
Operator
Tasks
Task is an assignment to do a certain work in the warehouse. The tasks can be generated by the system automatically depending on a current operation or created manually by the manager.
Example: Load is received to warehouse and needs to be stored.
One scenario: after receiving a product, the system automatically finds destination locations, generates tasks and assigns them to operators.
Another scenario: after receiving a product, manager gives command to the system to find destination locations, generate tasks and assign them to operators.

Task Dispatching
The operator receives task assignments via a radio terminal and confirms them by scanning the cargo’s or location’s barcode.
If RFID technology is deployed, task assignments are confirmed by scanning the RF mark.

Task Execution
Manager gives commands to the system to move a load to desired place.
The system generates a task and assigns it to the operator.

Names and barcodes are staggered to reduce scanning errors with RF terminal
In order to help operator identify receiving goods, the system can print a receiving sheet with information about goods and their barcodes.
Loads Receiving via RDTs
Operator scans barcodes from goods or receiving list. System displays information about the product and allows operator to specify additional parameters of this particular load.
After identifying the load the system directs the operator to the location within the receiving area where this load could be placed while waiting for putaway.
Operator gets a receiving work and can select the type of goods to receive. Operator can receive pallets, cartons or units

Automated Receiving of Loads from Manufacturing Facilities
Loads are received automatically.
Each outgoing pallet is registered by an optical sensor. The data describing the current load batch includes information on the product type, the number of boxes and items in the pallet, the manufacture date, etc. Then a unique code is generated to mark the load and register it in the System.
Manual Receiving of Loads from Manufacturing Facilities
The operator specifies the number of the manufacturing batch that designates the product type, the number of boxes and items in the pallet, the manufacture date, etc. Then the operator assigns a unique code to the load and registers it in the System.

Basic Configuring Basic Configuring RulesRules
General Notion of Rules
The system is guided by rules for planning tasks: putaway rules, routing rules, merging rules and so on.
Most of them may be changed in real-time and would adjust the system operations.
Routing rules
Putaway rules
Warehouse Topology
The Warehouse Topology window is used to visualize the warehouse situation and employees’ locations. The degree of zone filling-up is indicated by color.
Zones, Logical Groups, and Locations
Warehouse location hierarchy and logical groups give a flexible mechanism for configuring the warehouse.
Employees
Employee privileges as well as working areas are the basic tools to manage warehouse resources effectively.
Putaway and Routing Rules
Using put-away and other types of rules combined with warehouse areas and groups allow for reconfiguring the warehouse on the fly.
Order Planning and Picking Rules
Each warehouse has its own specifics for planning and picking orders that could be configured with special set of rules.

Solvo.WMS is an expert system able to provide recommendations on optimizing the whole range of warehouse technological processes and coordinating personnel and equipment tasks in order to get maximum efficiency of warehouse area and improve warehouse output.
We expect to gain maximal result from this project after implementing the second part of the project on piece (paired) warehouse. We expect Solvo.WMS solution to assume most of planning and taking decisions, which in my opinion should 1,5 times lower efforts and 3 times increase order processing (with the same labor resources).
Experience of cooperation with SOLVO specialists showed high level of their qualification and good knowledge of warehouse specificity.
