Templates
iBWMS has pre-configured tools to simplify and speed up the implementation and deployment of the Warehouse solution. The Readily Deployable Solutions (RDS) are industry vertical based. They are pre-configured leaving the Clients to configure to their requirements within 4 to 6 weeks.
Manufacturing
Manufacturing templates supports the hierarchy of,
Company against Plant to Warehouse to the ration 1:n:n.
Supports creation of BOM, Recipe against issue for Production of Finished Goods. The same will be cross checked by the system when the Finished Goods are received again. The Algorithms check and will be able to alert in case of deviations.
Other than all, system has all the features of standard WMS, Inventory Valuation, Delivery Management & Value Added Services.
Retail
The hierarchy for Retail supports all types of Warehouses specific to Hypermarkets, Super markets and cluster of mini markets.
This templates has the Processing Form which will help to capture the Goods that transforms from one product to another when brought inside the Warehouse.
Inventory can be managed at Warehouse level or at Backhouse/ Front house at super markets. The scanning of inventory and write off with approval.
Other features are available as standard.
Yard Management
Supports all type of Yards for Automobile, Steel and Container.
Dock Appointment scheduling, Task Planning and Cross Docking.
Location determining and Stacking. Classification of Transportation Units. Mobile Yard execution, Driver Self Check-in.
IoT enabled integration capabilities for tracking and capturing operations for automation.
Central Warehouse
This template is for Warehouses catering to 3PL as well as Warehouses/ Godowns for the storage of agricultural produce, seeds, manures, fertilizers, agricultural implements and notified commodities offered by individuals, co-operative societies and institutions.
Pest Control Services with alerts and tracking of QA checks based on the Depositor is available.
There are also Temperature Controlled services as well as other extension services of Farmers.
Why iBWMS?
Why us?
The Physical to Digital to Physical Leap of Industrial 4.0
As the evolving needs of Warehouses move beyond the capabilities of simple automation, there is a need for having a system which can supports semiautonomous, flexible machines for value added services, Next generation distribution operation services, Fully automated picking and quality assurance to adjust to rapid changes in demand.
IoT
iBWMS uses IoT applications for gather data in terms of Location tracing, triangulation for location accuracy to provide alerts for any unauthorised transactions.
Temperature alerts and controls.
IoT devices are also used to track the movement of assets and movement of pickers/ packers inside the warehouse. IoT sensors are also used for Cycle count as part of Inventory.
AI – ML
Right from Bin determination towards Goods receipt to the picking for the Issue is handled by the various algorithms developed as part of the system. They support the entire Goods movement inside the warehouse.
Any Issue from Warehouse to Production and receipts against the issues are tracked in the system through the BOM/ Recipes managed. Machine Learning algorithms help to do the analysis and provide useful insights for optimization.
Mobile
The complete business process flow is supported by Mobile that the transactions are recorded on real time. Access provided based on the role authorization with ability to support Barcode, RFID and Beacons
As the Warehouse with all the specifications are configured the Layout is virtually plotted with the help of AI and subsequently the layout is loaded in mobile for guidance inside warehouse.
Going from automated to truly ‘Smart’ with next generation supply chain solutions for Warehouse and Distribution Centres:
Going from automated to truly ‘Smart’ with next generation supply chain solutions for Warehouse and Distribution Centres:
- Though designed to support IoT devices for automation, system supports Barcode, QR code and RFID too.
- RDS templates provides quicker implementation methods and realisation of investment within 4 to 6 weeks.
- Customization is mostly for the Forms and Reports alone. Rest all are only Configurable.
- Retail Add-on available to configure the Front house of the Super Markets.
- OCR enablement supports and makes life easier where the majority of companies have challenges since none of ERPs or any application captures critical data like MPN, Mfg. date and LOT number.
- Delivery (TMS) module to take care of the complete Logistics.
- APIs available to integrate with any backend system for seamless data flow of business process.
