Wireless WMS Software
Wireless technology has really come a long way in the last several years. WMS software has traditionally employed wirless technologies for bar code and and inventory control but developments in wireless smartphones and personal data devices now make it possible to communicate faster and make the enterprise lean. Smartphones are joining the ranks of very affordable cellular devices and they seem to be becoming an invaluable assett in many innovative organizations. There are a small collection of companies that produce browser based software systems that not only run on your desktop but on your PDA as well.
Web based inventory management software offers traceability or genealogy capability. See Inventory and warehouse management for more applications.
We talked with Paul Tupciauskas, the CEO of Tuppas software. According to Paul custom wireless screens are being implemented in almost all of their WMS software systems. Tuppas is a small company in the midwest that does systems that are highly configurable. The systems that they deploy for WMS generally focus on JIT (just in time), advanced planning connections to inventory optimization and they are very good at building screens for really quick access into alarming, inventory levels and available to promise functionality. Whether you decide to implement an out of the box wms are a configured system wireless technology is worth checking out. It's a lot nicer to have critical data pushed to a device that travels with you than to find out there is an issue a week after you might have been able to do something about it.
