Warehouse management systems
With our Warehouse Management Software (WMS), everything in a box
In Industry 4.0, one of the most time and resource consuming tasks is to know the exact inventory, from raw materials to the final product. That's why, having a reliable and efficient Warehouse Management System (WMS) can save you headaches.
WMS (Warehouse Management System), is the software responsible for managing the operational logistics of factories in Industry 4.0. At CAPTIA we know the needs of this tool, so that your incoming warehouse and outgoing goods dock are always ready.
Optimise your production process with the software WMS
Correct recording of incoming and outgoing movements of goods is essential to control the operational flow. Incoming raw materials have to be consistent with the final number of items.. To achieve this, the WMS is synchronised with the product traceability modules, optimising the resources of the whole supply chain.
Such optimisation is achieved in two main areas: the space dedicated to the storage and movement of goods in each factory location. All these goods are tracked in real time by automated or human control, depending on the needs.
Advantages of implementing a WMS in your warehouse
Real time
You can know at all times where each part is, the inventory control synchronised with the orders and the final merchandise.
Availability
Cloud-based WMS systems show the movement of goods and raw materials to all operators who need access to that information, wherever they are.
Optimisation
The space you use for storage will be tidier, and all items will be accessible for handling.
Visibility
Constant automation of inventory control reduces the chances of forgotten, lost or misplaced raw materials.
Continuous improvement
The WMS software is a tool that learns from itself, capable of correcting its own errors in each movement of goods.
Effectiveness
If your factory is optimised internally, it will also be optimised logistically in terms of final delivery, which will have a positive impact on your customers' confidence.
How we implement a warehouse management system
How much space do you have? Do you handle dangerous goods? Is there a cold chain to maintain?
We create a system for labelling goods, usually barcodes, alphanumeric codes, QRs or RFID tags.
We programmatically map the points in your factory through which the goods will pass, to identify the checkpoints in the chain.
We create the software that will manage the flow of goods and, in parallel, we communicate the correct handling to the warehouse staff.
We enter the phase of testing, bug fixing and final implementation of the software with real merchandise.
“A warehouse management system will help you to increase the productivity of your factory, controlling the incoming materials and the final product at all times.”.
Examples of tasks you can perform with WMS software
Send and receive alerts to operators in charge of the WMS logistics system with timely instructions.
Perform estimated downtime drills in case one or more components required for your product are missing.
Categorise the materials in the warehouse according to their destination in your factory (inventory, picking or cross-docking)
Integrate the management of goods with occupational risk prevention processes to increase the safety of your factory.
Other solutions and services related to the warehouse management system WMS
QMS systems are used to plan and execute strategies for improving production processes, with the aim of achieving your factory's desired objectives, ensuring customer satisfaction, and strictly complying with manufacturing standards, thereby producing products or offering services of the highest quality.
Maintenance management systems (CMMS) are designed to manage the maintenance of physical assets within a company, while also allowing better administration of task scheduling and supervision, machinery management, tools and equipment, and maintaining a centralized record.
A Manufacturing Execution System (MES) is designed to manage, control, and monitor in real-time the production processes of factories involved in transforming raw materials into intermediate and/or finished products. Its main objective is to optimize production, improve operational efficiency, and ensure product quality.
