What is Iptor WM1?
Iptor WM1 is a warehouse management solution that controls the movement and storage of materials within a warehouse and processes the associated transactions, including shipping, receiving, put-away, and picking. It aims to increase the velocity of material flows and enables advanced strategies for value-added services. The solution also directs and optimizes stock put-away based on real-time information about the status of bin utilization. The vendor states it includes best-of-breed WMS and MES functionalities based on the latest Microsoft technology.
Iptor WM1 Features
- Supported: Arrival management: with the use of ASN (Advanced Shipping Notice) early identification of inbound shipments allows you to plan and control the goods from departure at your suppliers’ premises until physical arrival at your site.
- Supported: Reception: the physical receiving of goods can be authorized by a purchase order or an arrival. Reception may involve inspection of the goods, quality control and the registration of additional information, for instance best-before-date lot no. or serial no. Additional conditioning facilitates further processing of the goods.
- Supported: Put-away: the destination of the received goods in the inventory is controlled by put-away rules. They also support cross-docking, to reduce handling. Other advanced strategies are close-to-pick-location or by rotation class.
- Supported: Location management: fixed locations as well as floating locations are supported.
- Supported: Replenishment: replenishment in Iptor WM1 is rulebased and offers the same flexibility as the put-away and picking modules. Replenishment can be combined with put-away or picking tasks in task interleaving.
- Supported: Counting: to ensure inventory accuracy, different counting strategies can be applied: by location group, product group or rotation class. In a batch counting strategy, the items or locations are periodically counted as a separate operation. Inline counting is performed during the regular picking, put-away and replenishment activities, and can be triggered by a number of events, for instance when the theoretical inventory is zero or when the number of pickings on a location has exceeded a threshold. Any discrepancies between theoretical and physical inventory, detected during task execution is automatically registered on a lost & found location for further investigation.
- Supported: Inventory tracking: inventory can be tracked by item, expiry date, lot or even serial no. These parameters can be used to control the material flow through the warehouse.
- Supported: Wave management: in order to control the picking process, waves can be created based on rules that take into account the route planning, due date and other relevant criteria. This ensures smooth picking operations in line with the shipping process. Different picking strategies are supported: batch picking, picking by zone or by order, and in sequence picking.
- Supported: Picking: picking rules determine where goods are picked. Multiple approaches are possible, for instance best fitting quantity or first-expires-first-out (FEFO). This gives great control over the outbound material flow, reduces handling and ensures compliance with customer requests. During the picking process, value-added services can be performed: customer specific label application or kitting for instance.
- Supported: Packing, consolidation and staging: depending on the picking strategy (by zone, by order, …) it may be required to pack the goods after picking. System guided packing and consolidation ensures a timely, complete and damage-free shipment preparation.
- Supported: Loading and shipping: shipments can be composed based on a number of criteria such as due date, route, total volume and weight of the goods. After shipment creation, the goods can be staged and loaded in the reverse order of delivery.
- Supported: Bill of material and routing management The bill of material contains all information on the parts required and the finished products of the production process. Iptor WM1 supports multiple inputs and outputs to the production process, which enables complex processes as disassembly. The routing indicates which operations have to be performed in which order. This contains specific operator instructions, setup information, tooling required.
- Supported: Work order scheduling Work orders can be scheduled and dispatched to various work centers, to ensure maximum efficiency and minimal delays.
- Supported: Material issue Delivering the right parts at the right time to a work station reduces idle time and scrap. Advanced supply strategies such as Kanban, reorder point or JIT (just-intime) are commonplace.
- Supported: Machine integration By establishing a direct machine interface, manual configuration of the machine is avoided. This reduces setup time and scrap, and increases net available time.
- Supported: Time registration Iptor WM1 supports real-time time registration, with reason codes. This allows for tracking of the performance of machines and operators, and the identification of root causes of degraded overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).
- Supported: Consumption To track the inventory in detail, and to allow for efficient replenishment of parts towards the work station, different consumption approaches can be used: pieceby-piece tracking, back-flushing and two bin are just a few examples.
- Supported: Output registration With current pressure on inventory, the accurate identification of inventory all through the production process is a challenge. With Iptor WM1 the production output can be registered at each operation. This allows for real-time tracking of workin-process inventory. During output registration, quality control can be performed. Each piece can be tracked on lot no. or serial no., to ensure compliance with the most stringent regulations.
- Supported: Multi-owner: provides support for public warehouses that hold inventory for multiple owners.
- Supported: Activity registration: this permits logistics service providers to track the activities performed for each owner. Activities can be linked to tasks (put-away, picking), but also other activities such as labeling, cleaning and palletizing can be registered. This provides also valuable information for activity based costing.
- Supported: Billing: based on the activities and the inventory by owner billing information can be prepared.
- Supported: Cartonization: this involves the calculation of target containers prior to picking. In this calculation, the cubic volume and weight are used to obtain the most optimal container for picking.
- Supported: Dock & yard management: Iptor WM1 has a module for yard management to manage the goods while they are still in the trailer on your yard. With dock management, you can schedule the loading and unloading activities at the docks. This ensures a good utilization of your infrastructure.
- Supported: Cross-docking: to minimize handling and reduce inventory, the goods are often immediately transferred from the inbound docks to the outbound staging area. Next to that, soft crossdocking, with goods immediately transferred to the picking zone, is another valuable functionality.
- Supported: Labor management: tracking performance of the work force and managing the work load by area and equipment are essential in operational efficiency.
- Supported: Multi-level container handling: allows you to track the inventory on pallet level, in the box or even in nested packaging.
- Supported: Returnable packaging: allows you to keep track of pallets and other types of containers delivered to your customers.
