Many forklift operators continue to waste time and resources during picking, put-away, and internal transfers because they lack adequate and real-time information on bin capacities and product locations. These users primarily rely on the RF scanners as the source for retrieving data. However, given the size and technology in these devices, it’s easy to misread or misinterpret the data, thus leading to inefficiencies and frustrations.
To overcome this challenge, we have built a custom SAP Fiori® application to assist users to see, plan, and optimize work processes in the warehouse all in real time and using the convenience of a mobile device such as tablets, PCs, or smartphones.
This tool provides:
- An easy-to-use user interface
- Capacity and product information at a warehouse, storage type, and storage bin level
- Relevant bin information such as put-away/pick block and name of the picker
- Easy monitoring of warehousing processes
This application has significantly reduced inventory adjustments and pick/put-away time. This application has significantly improved user engagement and overall productivity.
