Features and innovations

Logistics modules that smart employees from agriculture, horticulture and forestry should know.

Large usable area warehouses that must be well organized, a complete and transparent overview of the flow of materials and efficient handling in the warehouse of large and small parts - all this is needed by companies operating in the agricultural, horticultural and forestry sector. To manage this, reliable support from a warehouse management system is important. Our warehouse management software SuPCIS-L8 supports a wide range of industry-specific processes - you can choose from a wide range of standard processes. The highlight: Individual requirements for the processes can be easily and quickly incorporated into the existing standard components thanks to the lean framework. Typical processes that all customer projects from the agricultural, horticultural and forestry sectors have, for example, are the management of serial numbers and batches, the option of workshop order processing and the integration of multi-order picking.

‍Hand in hand: software, man and machine
A key advantage in the SuPCIS-L8 warehouse management software for the agricultural, horticultural and forestry sector is the configurable multi-order picking process. In conjunction with mobile terminals, this ensures route-optimized and paperless picking in the warehouse.

This is often supplemented by mobile consolidation, packaging and loading processes and optimized with regard to small and large order processing. In order to make the handling of mobile processes as simple and convenient as possible for employees, wearable scanners such as the ProGlove Mark Display can be connected in addition to mobile data entry devices (MDE). This creates the advantage of ergonomic and error-minimized processing, especially in the area of picking. Thanks to the integrated display, employees are guided easily and quickly through the entire picking process. The display shows the storage compartment, article number and quantity to be picked. The data required for the process is transferred from the SuPCIS-L8 warehouse management system to the scanner via Bluetooth. In combination with forklift terminals, the operator receives the feedback decentrally on the scanner and does not have to read it off the forklift terminal.

The shop order processing process supports the smooth assembly and production of customer-specific products. Your employees can post both manufacturing costs and processing times directly to the sales order in SuPCIS-L8. Subsequently, the workshop papers can be printed and after feedback of the data to the ERP, the expenses for the services can be invoiced.

‍Transparent, efficient and innovative on the move - warehouse management with SuPCIS-L8
A requirement characteristic of the industry is functional support for integrated batch and serial number management. With regard to the management of batches, it is the case that it is defined in the master data which products must be managed with a batch number. If a product is "subject to batch management", the data is already recorded at goods receipt and checked against the configured specifications. In this way, it is known within the warehouse in which storage bin which batch is located. The data can be entered manually, by scan or by RFID. The batch number entered remains unchanged for all goods movements - regardless of whether they are internal or external deliveries - and is continuously updated. In this way, the batch can be traced back at any time.

The serial numbers of the products can also be notified by the ERP system with the number of the shipping unit and, depending on the configuration in the warehouse management software, recorded in the process flow by our SuPCIS-L8 during goods receipt, picking or at the packing station. For this purpose, it is possible to define in the article master which additional information is to be requested during picking. In the example mentioned, the employee receives a request during the picking process to scan the serial number, which is then noted in the order. Although the serial number can also be entered manually, it is also used to check the count when picking multiple items, as the scans are compared to the target quantity.

Industry-typical processes in the standard, efficient processing and a transparent overview of the material flow enable future-proof warehousing.
