Warehouse Management Systeme heute. Chancen und Risiken bei Auswahl und Einführung: Vortrag gehalten beim Jungheinrich Infotag, 22.05.2015, Kaltenkirchen; 05.10.2015, Dortmund; 05.11.2015, Nettetal

Der Vortrag benennt übliche Funktionalitäten von Warehouse Management Systemen (WMS) und gibt einen Überblick über typische WMS-Anbietertypen. Zudem beschreibt er Chancen und Risiken bei der Auswahl und Einführung eines WMS und skizziert ein Vorgehensmodell für eine erfolgreiche Projektumsetzung

How to Choose an Order-Picking System

Order-Picking-Systems are the parts of material flow systems, which have the largest variance of deployment alternatives. Since a long time there have been many attempts to systematize the way of identification of the order-picking- ystem that the “correct” solution can be found. The previous methods could not be enforced universally. Thus nearly all the material handling system suppliers have their own approach to find the right system, as it turned out at a market analysis of Fraunhofer IML. With the presented concept of finding a solution, a structured, fast method for system identification shall be presented. A stepwise approach to the system definition reduces the solution space for the next level of detail and thus the processing effort. This procedure should be defined in that way, that it will become a module or component in the integrated approach of warehouse CAD (or the warehouse design workflow) in future. This principle is currently being developed by the GATech and the Fraunhofer IML
