About Dematic
Dematic is a global leader providing an impressive range of intelligent logistics and materials handling solutions. With a global knowledge network of more than 4000 highly skilled logistics professionals, Dematic is able to provide its customers a unique perspective in world class materials handling solution design.
This means for you: Even in international projects, you only have one point of contact. Dematic takes into your logistics projects with overall responsibility for throughput and availability.
What you can expect of a WMS system
Dematic has a long tradition and comprehensive expertise in integrating logistics installations.
Core tasks
Your requirements for a WMS are closely connected with your general requirements for logistics: it is your aim that the accu-rate goods are provided at the right time, at the right location, in the right amount, in the right quality and at the right costs. All processes – from arrival to dispatch – have to be supported and optimised by the WMS. The WMS has to take over the coordination and provide an overview of the current warehouse situation – from manual to highly automated installations.
Borderless processes for the whole warehouse
The seamless integration of several sub-systems and precise tuning ensures an optimal cooperation – from controls up to the ERP system. The result of this approach is an exceedingly effective site, high process transparency and an economic operation.
The best combination of standards and custom solutions
The market knows highly standardised and customised ware-house management systems. In practice both variants have their own advantages. Dematic offers a smart combination of both approaches – a standardised software basis with ex-tensive configuration possibilities which can be extended or adapted by plug-ins. New components can be integrated by defined procedures as well.
High efficiency for transports and picking
A specialty of Dematic’s software solutions in the dynamic control of transports: decisions about transport routes and destinations are always made at the latest possible time and considering the recent warehouse situation. Thus you can use your mechatronics effectively and increase the productivity of your installation. Similar optimisation potentials are used for increasing picking efficiency and lowering costs.
Projects and implementation
Quality assured project management
A clearly structured implementation method with defined mile-stones and responsibilities allows safe, quick and high quality project management by Dematic. Our project managers are specially trained for these topics and always realise project according to approved procedures. Thorough reporting during the project provides greatest possible transparency.
Your first contact will be with our sales team. Then the imple-mentation team joins in and after commissioning, our service team is readily available. Therewith Dematic ensures that you are optimally cared for and serviced throughout the whole life cycle of the solution.
Integration expertise
Due to our long-time and continuous expertise with logistics projects, our engineers are very familiar with integrating busi-ness processes with our own software solutions and their in-tegration into superimposed host systems. Here Dematic has access to own tools and certified standard interfaces. We do not see ourselves as a pure software provider, but rather as a provider of integrated logistic concepts, and have appropriate products and knowledge available.
Tailored to particular needs
Dematic applies scalable software and hardware so we can of-fer a large scope of projects for various industries with varying complexity. An upfront detailed analysis of business processes is always the foundation for efficient and well fitting solutions.
Commissioning
Dematic provides commissioning in close cooperation with you and provides on-the-job training and coaching. A suc-cessful period of vocational adjustment is short according to experience, so that you can operate your installation yourself in a short time. The advanced support by Dematic allows you to gain a high productivity quickly.

Our focus: Your business processes
Core function of a WMS
The main task of a WMS is a wide-spread support all internal logistics processes. The WMS has to cross the borders be-tween various warehouse types, e. g. manual and automated warehouse areas and integrate all these areas, into a homoge-neous system. According to process quality requirements and throughput, employees receive technical assistance such as RF data terminals or voice terminals to improve working condi-tions and raise productivity and quality. These technological aids are mainly used in picking, but also for goods receipt, replenishment handling, transports and shipping/dispatch. Our software offers a wide support for that purpose.
Whenever standards limit efficiency
The universal use of standards is reasonable and recom-mended for certain processes. This applies especially to simple procedures e. g. in transport handling. Using stand-ards in complex procedures, however, can cause a com-plicated conversion with redundant process steps – which we can eliminate. The component based architecture of the Dematic software supports such adjustments via plug-ins which modify or expand the standard locally.
Perfect calibration with subordinate components
Besides manual warehouse areas which are equipped with Pick-by-Voice, Pick-by-Light or RF data transmission, the Dematic WMS particularly supports automated warehouse systems such as high bay warehouses, automated Miniloads, Dematic Multishuttles and pallet and tote conveyors.
Highlights such as multi-deep storage, handling of equip-ment with several load handling devices or the management of channel storage systems is supported as well. Necessary strategies are developed by teams of mechanicals, controls and IT specialists and guarantee a seamless integration, fast commissioning and high reliability.
Wide standard functionality
Our WMS holds all functions required by a sophisticated system. It supports man-to-good picking as well as goods-to-man picking typically required for automation. Storage and retrieval strategies such as FIFO, LIFO and FEFO are naturally supported as well as batch- and serial number management. Multi-client capability makes this system appropriate for all logistics providers. With the powerful interface mapping to the superimposed host, the greatest possible clarity and easy installation of this data connection is provided.
User-friendly operation concepts
A set of easy-to-use functions allows an intuitive, ergonomic, and efficient operation. Thus a simple adjustment of the user interface allows a customised setup of the work place solution. Screen forms and menu trees are adjustable such that always a clearly arranged working environment is created, showing all necessary information. Furthermore the online language online language switch allows each user to change to his favoured language and user interface at any time.
The Dematic Logistics Cockpit provides a quick overview of the main key performance indicators of your warehouse proces-ses, and helps you to quickly identify emerging problems. You save precious time for problem resolution and can reduce the impact significantly. With the Dematic Mobile App this informa-tion is also available on the move to Smartphones or Tablets.
Help texts in the online help can be customised easily, so that special procedures and process steps can be displayed di-rectly in the online help.

Your benefits
Stock reduction
Via stock management you always know where your goods are located. From goods receipt to dispatch, you have full transparency and the ability to manage your goods. Thus you can reduce stock significantly and at the same time reduce capital commitment in your warehouse with simultaneously high ability to supply.
Increase of efficiency
Productivity increases due to improved planning and control of tasks and due to optimised processes. Depending on work-load all tasks are shared in an optimal way. Due to optimised processes, error rate is reduced and customer satisfaction is increased.
Optimisation of storage locations
Cross-docking and a multitude of integrated strategies help with storage location optimisation and reduce the amount of storing positions
Increase of throughput
Automate your picking, packing and dispatch and minimise your number of transports per order due to optimal process configuration possibilities. Your customers will be thankful for reduced delivery times.
Costs

Costs and benefits
For estimating costs and benefits it is important to consider certain criteria:
� Does the WMS improve the availability of your installation?
� Are the WMS investments secure?
� Are all optimisation possibilities used and how can the efficiency be measured?
� Does the WMS enable you to meet your customer’s requirements?
� Does the system allow you to reduce your goods in stock to a minimum without affecting your ability to supply?
Key Performance Indicators for management
IT systems for logistic installations continuously generate status information which is compressed to key data for de-vice efficiency and can be processed. Picking systems, for instance, constantly deliver data which can be used for calcu-lating degrees of processing. The Dematic software collects and compresses this system information and provides it for analysis. Real time data is of interest to operation, and key per-formance indicators, gathered and compressed over a longer period of time, are of interest to the management.
Installation availability and reliability
If you operate your installation day and night without inter-ruption like many of our customers, availability and reliability are essential to you. We are familiar with these requirements and know how to meet them. The Dematic software supports corresponding security concepts. Due to coordinated software and services we can assure very high installation availability.
Proven procedures and optimal use of resources
Dematic has much experiences in implementing logistics in-stallations, so that the most suitable procedures are used for the corresponding project. Since best practices always have to verify their capability it is assured that technical advances are implemented quickly. The systems are well balanced and use resources in an optimal way.
Investment protection
Dematic software is based upon an open software architecture which contains established standards and interfaces and is scalable. This simplifies later enhancements and changes. Your investments in IT are protected.
With our complete service and support packages, you can be sure to exhaust your investment at any time perfectly.
That means: to increase the operational time of your investment, minimise downtime and to have the security that you can always rely on your system - even if you need to operate at full capacity.
