115 Best Practices
Case study I Cogeferm
Reserve pallets are placed on the tops
of both racks on different levels, with
the same products that are used on the levels below.
The automatic conveyor passes through
the inside of the racks, between levels one
and two. A second conveyor was installed,
outside and in parallel to the racks, which is
used as a prep table.
When orders are completed, they are
pushed onto the first conveyor and move to
the sorting/consolidation zone.
The full cardboard boxes that arrive
from the pallets are also inserted on this
conveyor.
All products corresponding to the rest of
the areas (pallet racking, picking and cantilever racking) are prepared manually, but
are also managed via the Easy WMS.
Easy WMS: warehouse
management system
The entire management of the different warehouse areas relies on the Easy
WMS: warehouse management system by
Mecalux, which guides all operations via
computer terminals run by radio-frequency.
This powerful system works through multiple parameterizable rules and covers all
the different operations that take place in a
warehouse; from the entry of the product to
its eventual dispatch, passing through stock
control and order picking.
The Easy WMS and the Enterprise Resource
Planning System (ERP) have a permanent bidirectional connection in order to allow and
facilitate the rest of the operations that take
place outside the warehouse, which are essential in any business.
