| Better storage handling
A warehouse management system (WMS) can help you to increase your productivity and minimize the number of lost or damaged paper rolls. When rolls are transported from the production floor to your warehouse, roll data can be transferred to the WMS, a module within the Automatic Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS). This module tracks the timestamp and location on each roll, helping you monitor and manage your paper inventory online.
仓库员工不操作自动化cranes directly. The operator gives instructions to the Millwide Execution System (MES/ERP), which commands the Konecranes WMS, and the WMS controls the crane. The WMS is integrated seamlessly with a standard interface.
As the paper and board rolls, tissue rolls, or pulp units are fed into the automation area by conveyors, the WMS has an interface to the conveyor command system for product data interchange. Alternatively, the WMS can command the conveyors directly. Crane automation has a hardwired interface to ensure a safe handover of each handled unit.
| Efficient use of space and time
The WMS can give handling systems direct instructions for roll storage, with the goal of making sure that paper storage is safe and space efficient. This automation can keep employees out of harm’s way, while reducing long-term forklift and manpower costs.
The tracking of storage also allows for quick and accurate roll retrieval. Constant access to roll manufacture and storage dates can help you avoid losing rolls or finding them stale.
The Warehouse Management System can give the conveyor control system destinations for the rolls. It can also inform the conveyor system of the most suitable input location in the warehouse, so the warehouse is optimally filled and the transfer times inside the warehouse are minimized.
