Use hazardous materials management to get rid of messy processes.

Hazardous substances are stored and processed in a wide variety of industries and in numerous companies. The handling of such substances within the warehouse, as well as further processing and transportation to customers, poses a number of challenges for logistics. Above all, compliance with legal requirements, such as the ban on storing such substances together.

In many companies, hazardous substances are stored and transported in the warehouse without the support of software. Employees often make do with lists or other "offline solutions" in order to keep track of storage bans and total quantities of hazardous substances. In most cases, however, these tools lack a connection to the existing warehouse management system. As a result, the search for storage locations is carried out manually and laboriously by an employee.

Store hazardous substances safely
Our warehouse management system SuPCIS-L8 provides functional support through integrated hazardous substance management. In practice, there are often materials and substances that must not be stored together or that require special handling. These must be stored in specially designated zones.

The EU Chemicals Regulation CLP provides the framework for the classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures. The characteristics used can be assigned to the products concerned in the SuPCIS-L8 warehouse management software, such as the hazardous substance class and storage location. This data can be maintained in the system as required to ensure the safe storage of hazardous substances. As a result, it is also known within the warehouse in which storage location which type of hazardous substance is located. In this way, the hazard potential in the warehouse can be assessed at any time using so-called fire department lists. Other options such as automatic printing of transport documents, labeling with limited quantity stickers and the printing of dangerous goods pictograms can also be configured in SuPCIS-L8.

The hazardous materials management in the warehouse management software SuPCIS-L8 enables the control function of the entire process, a transparent supply chain and the best possible handling of hazardous materials in the warehouse. In addition, it is possible to react quickly to changing specifications and (further) transport hazardous goods according to type and dispatch.
