Picking process with staging/packing station

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 30

Hello,

We have 4 zones in our warehouse: Frozen, Chilled, Ambient and Alcohol. Each zone has a specific pickers assigned to it. Picking in the Refrigeration and Freezer zones is independent of each other. Alcohol and Ambient goods are picked in the following way: the pickers from the Alcohol zone start work earlier than those from the Ambient goods zone. They collect the Alcohol on pallets and put them away in specially designated locations. Pickers from the Ambient zone start work later. When they print out the picking list, they see if there is alcohol in the Sales order and if there is, they go look for that pallet and pick the goods from the Ambient zone on a pallet of alcohol. If there is no order of alcohol products - they collect on an empty pallet.

Can you please suggest me how to configure the system so that if there is alcohol in the Sales order and this alcohol was picked and put to the specially designated location, the pickers from Ambient zone receive instructions on the warehouse mobile app to pick up from a particular place a particular pallet with alcohol and then continue picking Ambient goods?

    Hi Dimitriy,

    You can use  a mobile device menu item - work list type, to display all the pending works from that special zone.

    Take a look at:

    Thanks,

    Hi Dimitriy,

    I assume you are creating separate work ids for each Zone. i.e. if a single sales order has products in all four zones, then it will have 4 work ids. I'm not sure how you are using the Packing station, but putting that to one side, I do not think you will be able to pick and stage the Alcohol work, and then use that LP Id for the Ambient work. I feel sure the Ambient work will not allow you to use an LP which is a Target LP on another Work Id. However, if you can pick the Ambient items on an empty LP, and then move it to the same staging location, you might find you are able to use a Movement mobile device menu item to move the items from one LP on to the other.

    Hi all,

    Thanks Alina for your reply and thanks Guy for your help.

    I am not sure about Packing station. I just thought that it could be implemented somehow by packing or containerization. To open container then to use work header break for alcohol and then to close container with ambient and alcohol "inside".  I am not so familiar with containerization functionality and trying to find out how it can be implemented but without luck so far.

    What you suggest is interesting but the mobile app doesn't direct the picker to pick the alcohol pallet and continue to pick ambient, does it?

    Thanks,

    Dimitriy

    Hi Dimitriy,

    Another idea would be to use replenishment to bring items from Refrigeration zone to Ambient zone if there is not enough quantity in the ambient zone.

    You can use different types of replenishment, depending on your business need :

    Thanks,

    Alina
