MATERIAL HANDLING SYSTEMS BY TGW PROVIDE REAL-TIME AND ROUTE-OPTIMISED MANAGEMENT OF GOODS

Optimisation of material flows and grouping per order, delivery unit or shipment is crucial for the efficiency of your distribution center.

When orders are simultaneously picked from different storage areas, TGW's CI_LOG Software Suite will assume the real-time and route-optimised combination of the order consignments from all warehouses. Our solutions also cover the management and optimisation of the staging areas for packaging and dispatch.

GAIN HIGH FLOW RATES DUE TO ROUTE- AND TIME-OPTIMISED ORDER COMBINATION

TGW's supply chain software CI_LOG controls all material flows in the internal logistics supply chain, from goods receipt to storage as well as from picking and staging of goods to dispatch. Thus, you can reduce your transport costs and provide store friendly delivery. You gain:

• Efficiency and reliability thanks to paperless goods transports by means of RF data communication or stacker control systems
• High flow rate due to route- and time-optimised order combination
• Secured future due to parameterisable material flow control

ALL INTERNAL TRANSPORT PROCESSES ARE DEFINED IN CI_LOG

The control of your internal transports will be effected on the basis of the transport strategies defined in CI_LOG. The flexible parameterisability of the material flow control allows for a paperless as well as time- and route-optimised execution of all internal transport processes.

• from goods receipt over QA processing up to storage
• from order picking up to staging of goods
• from allocation to packaging and dispatch

REAL-TIME AND ROUTE-OPTIMISED ORDER COMBINATION

If the orders are simultaneously picked from different storage areas, CI_LOG will assume the real-time and route-optimised combination of the order consignments from all warehouses. Besides, CI_LOG will assume the management and optimisation of the staging areas for packaging and dispatch.

DISPATCH FUNCTIONALITIES

Order consignments that have been consolidated from the different storage areas are temporarily stored on staging areas for packaging. The real-time order combination guarantees an optimum utilisation of the storage space. The integrated goods traceability serves as an early warning system for backorders.

Depending on the scope of functions of your ERP system CI_LOG furthermore covers

• the formation of dispatch units (e.g. packet, pallet, skeleton container)
• the combination of shipments for different service providers (e.g. parcel service, mail, railway, forwarding agency)
• the calculation of transport expenses
• the printing of transport documents (e.g. delivery notes, packing lists, labels, invoices)
