Definition and advantages of the “Context Aware Frontend Architecture” principle

Reasons for Context Aware Frontend Architecture User interfaces have to fulfill more and more requirements. Since digital infrastructures are constantly being developed and transformed, the cycles in which software has to be adapted are also becoming shorter. These changing adaptation cycles do not affect frontend and backend to the same extent. By decoupling the frontend and backend layers from…

The manual sort order fulfilment

Manual sort picking (MSP) is a software-supported manual sorting system. It is based on multi-level picking, but in contrast to the use of an automated sorter, the subsequent sorting is done by hand. MSP is responsible for organizing and managing the picking, sorting and subsequent packing processes. A fully automated high-tech solution is not always the best choice. Particularly in companies…

Advantages and definition of the transhipment type cross docking

There are various transshipment methods for goods in the shipping area. One of these types of handling is called 'cross docking'. What is special about this type of handling is that warehousing is no longer necessary. Instead, the goods are already pre-picked by the supplier or sender. Delivered items are not put into storage, but are assigned directly to the corresponding outgoing goods…

Alongside the just-in-time principle, Jidoka is the second mainstay of the Toyota Production System (TPS) and is an important factor in lean management and in quality assurance. Using sensors, limit switches or other devices,…

APS systems: optimisation and empirical knowledge

Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) systems support forward-looking planning across several stages of the value chain, from the supplier to the customer - or even beyond. To this end, they determine dependencies between processes and their impact on scheduling and capacity requirements. The planning and scheduling of processes is supported by visualisations, rules and optimisation procedures.……

Clearing station in intralogistics

On the one hand, a clarification point is a virtual booking point to which goods are booked in the system until it is clear what will happen to the goods in the future and whether or how they will be processed further. On the other hand, it is a physical location where goods can be temporarily stored until clarification. A clarification bin can be managed in the Warehouse Management System as a…

Consolidation and deconsolidation

Consolidation is the combination of individual parts into a whole. Deconsolidation is the counterpart to consolidation. A whole is broken down into individual parts. Consolidation In the warehouse, the consolidation process goes hand in hand with picking and the goods issue process. Goods to be removed from storage are grouped together for dispatch. In particular, if the picking process is…
