Go West: Westfalia Technologies
is launching Version 2. 3 of its
Savanna.NET Warehouse Management Software. Key features of
Savanna 2. 3 include real-time 3D
visualization of the warehouse; a
dashboard for tracking key warehouse operational statistics; streamlined user rights management
interfaces; and improvements to the order picking module for
integrating third-party picking solutions (such as high-speed
layer picking and mixed layer picking).
Savanna 2. 3’s 3D Visualization has been developed with gaming software, and it allows users to view the warehouse from any
angle. Individual items/SKUs can be identified and filtered (for
example, inventory can be colored by SKU), as can warehouse
zones. (Westfalia Technologies Inc., www.WestfaliaUSA.com)
Durable and modular: DAP Technologies has introduced the
M4000 series of handheld computers. The units, which the company describes as rugged, powerful, and lightweight, have the
additional advantage of being modular, which allows customers to choose
the technology they need now and
easily upgrade as requirements
change.
Built on a Windows CE operating
system, the units are sealed to IP65
and engineered to withstand multiple
5-foot drops, making them suited to
the specific requirements of warehouse
environments. With 128 MB SDRAM
and 1 GB flash ROM standard, the
handhelds provide ample memory for
storing data locally. Communications
options include GPRS and Summit
Radio wireless LAN 802.11b/g.
The M4000 series units come with a
3.5- inch, 256K color LCD touch screen
with LED backlighting. Users have a
choice of alphanumeric (M4010
model) or alphabetical (M4020 model) keyboards. Customers are
not locked into their decision, as keyboards can be swapped as
needs change. (DAP Technologies, www.daptech.com)
