The same technology also allows the WMS to be deployed within 25 days from user brief to go-live, says AIDC.

AIDC-WHM has been developed for use by all manufacturing, distribution and third party logistics organisations. Its technology is open and can be integrated with all enterprise applications, including SAP and other leading ERP systems. AIDC-WHM runs in Windows (or UNIX) and is suitable for single and multi-site, national and international, multi-lingual use. It can be deployed standalone or can exchange information with many other business functions including logistics, production and planning.

RFID is provided by generating simple labels/tags to support ‘slap and ship’ compliance, or via fuller RFID integration with warehouse processes.

AIDC-WHM can be fully user-defined, with no limits. This gives an organisation the flexibility to define its warehouse layout in line with changing needs to optimise its efficiency, including the ability to prioritise and zone storage areas. Warehouse locations can be specified at multiple levels and defined using multiple parameters, with best storage based on pre-defined location rules where needed.

The system automatically identifies the best picking routes for speedier order fulfilment. Barcoding and mobile terminals can also be used to increase the speed and accuracy of picking and put-away.
