Handle cable logistics stress-free and with little effort.

Cable drums upon cable drums - as far as the eye can see. Managing cable logistics has become a highly evolved and complex process at many companies over the years. In many cases, this process is only mastered by a few employees in the warehouse. In addition, the logistics processes are heavily paper-based and in many cases largely detached from the rest of the warehouse. It is not uncommon for work to be done on demand, with little planning in advance. This approach is prone to errors, increases the workload for the individual warehouse employees and increasingly reduces the transparency of the current status in the warehouse.

Does this challenge sound familiar to you? Our warehouse management software SuPCIS-L8 offers a possible solution for the management of your cable drums or your cable logistics. Via an interface to the ERP system, the drums are mirrored in our warehouse management system. Both length and drum type are known to the system. The sales department can actively influence this and sell off remaining lengths. The Warehouse Management System receives the information on the individual picking orders for the cables via the ERP. In this way, your employees in the warehouse are always informed about the type, length and, if necessary, the exact reel number of the required cables. This enables them to cut the required cable length to length and prepare it directly for shipping.

For distribution, this brings additional flexibility, because for logistics, the processes are simplified and require less expert knowledge as well as maximum control at the cable cut. If required, the warehouse management system can support with automatic replenishment logic. If a cable drum on the pallet becomes empty on the shelf, this is acknowledged, a replenishment order is initiated and another drum is moved to the front position. The warehouse management software can also be used to control various cable cutting machines - including, incidentally, conveyor-integrated automatic cut-to-length equipment. In this way, the warehouse management software ensures short-term and automated stock availability at the cutting station.

Your benefit: Overall, the additional effort due to manual processes for managing cable drums is reduced many times over and ensures an increased level of efficiency in the warehouse. The error rate decreases, the entire material flow in the warehouse becomes more transparent and in this way creates a fully comprehensive overview of the current status in the warehouse.
