Modula WMS: Warehouse Management System<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>

What is WMS (Warehouse Management System)?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Modula WMS (Warehouse Management System)<\/strong> is the warehouse management software created and developed by Modula to manage all vertical warehouse operations. In practice, it is the thinking brain of the warehouse, enabling it not to be a simple automatic shelf but to manage complex information on what happens in terms of access, picking movements, location management and stock.<\/p>\n

With Modula WMS it is possible to trace everything that happens inside the warehouse.<\/p>\n

We are talking about product traceability, but not only. You can check at all times where the various references are located, understand their frequency of movement and intelligently manage the related data such as batch, serial numbers, production dates, expiry and product maturity.<\/p>\n

Using the Modula WMS software, it is possible to know which operator has had access to a particular drawer, manage the subdivision (slotting) of drawers into compartments, and monitor warehouse occupancy volumes and also the degree of saturation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

All this data is an invaluable source for any company\u2019s supply chain<\/strong>; through its analysis, it is possible to better understand the logistical flow of the entire warehouse (of which Modula\u2019s storage systems are only a part) in order to optimise its efficiency and thus reduce waste and management costs.<\/p>\n

With its WMS management software, Modula ceases to be just a vertical automated warehouse and becomes a true IoT ring, which is then able to transmit information to the company management system or interface with other technologies such as anthropomorphic robots<\/strong>, AMR<\/strong> autonomous driving systems, automatic conveyors and much more.<\/p>\n

Modula WMS is designed not only as a perfect complement for the management of the entire range of Modula warehouses<\/strong>, but can also be used as a tool for the management of traditional warehouses or manual storage areas where data monitoring and greater control of flows are required.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

How does warehouse management work in Modula WMS?<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>

The architecture of the Modula WMS warehouse management software<\/strong> provides for the installation on a dedicated machine (PC, Server, Virtual Machine) of the MAINMODULA WMS server application, which manages not only the automatic warehouses, but also the manual warehouses and the communication interfaces to the company management system<\/strong>. After configuration, the application automatically performs backups.<\/p>\n

The system is configured via a simple PC interface (WMS client). As soon as it is finished, other PCs can be configured to allow the system to be used from other locations and thus by other users. Access to the system is protected by user and password<\/p>\n

The last step consists of interfacing with management or ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) systems<\/strong>, which take care of the administrative part, or with any other software used in automated storage and handling systems within the warehouse.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
