Proteus
Proteus Software’s Warehouse Management system brings new levels of power, technology and functionality resulting in:
- Cost savings through operational efficiency, more automated and self-service processes.
- Improved customer and supplier service by improving accuracy, and by increasing access and visibility for trading partners.
- Powerful and predictive key business information that enhances decision-making, creating opportunities for growth.
Proteus WMS builds upon the experience and expertise gained over a number of years of implementing advanced warehousing systems in a variety of market sectors. The system offers a number of modes of operation from a fully paperless directed environment through voice and radio frequency assisted, to a paper based option for less sophisticated warehouse operations.
All warehouse functions are covered including receiving, put-away, picking, replenishment and stocktaking. The powerful task scheduler allocates warehouse tasks to personnel with the relevant equipment to optimise travel time, provides for dual cycling, and the ability to interleave tasks for optimum efficiency.
A load planning subsystem allows both incoming and outgoing consignments to be maintained, including booking slots, and picking and put-away to be planned in advance.
The system supports cross docking so items received for immediate despatch can be instantly processed to the relevant despatch location.
The emphasis is on predictive and exception reporting. The Proteus Action Manager will alert management to exceptions and instances where a management decision is required. Decision support systems are included so that future workload can be assessed based upon historical performance.
The Proteus Integration Highway provides advance features for interfacing to external systems, including ERP systems or other warehousing systems. In a multi warehouse environment, this enables Proteus WMS to provide a consolidated view of the status across all warehouses.
