If you have to create inventory locations e.g. for a high-bay warehouse, you can use the new inventory location creation feature to simplify their creation.

 

You can access this function via the inventory location list, "New Batch" button

 

You can execute a single operation to create all inventory locations and the inventory locations for a storage location, respectively, or the compartments for a shelf all at once. The corresponding visualization coordinates are calculated automatically using the stored information.

Advantage of visualization

You can tell

- which inventory location is blocked

- on removal from storage: where is the selected item located

- on storage: which inventory location is already full

 

Special feature: Display three-dimensional inventory locations two-dimensionally

For example, a high-level rack with level, row, compartment, where the compartment represents the third dimension that should be displayed in the second dimension.

To do the trick:

The shelf itself is not displayed, instead the external surfaces of the individual compartments represent the shelf.

 

Shelf1                        Shelf 2

 

Compartment1 Compartment2 Compartment3                Compartment1 Compartment2 Compartment3

Compartment4 Compartment5 Compartment6                Compartment4 Compartment5 Compartment6

 

The shelf is discernible from the corresponding arrangement of the compartments, but you see only the individual compartments.

 

Parameters for creation

Number of dimensions

Stored in storage area – display only.

Inventory location screen

Structure of inventory location identification – see window definition.

Withdraw Significance

Displays screen for removal sorting.

Inbound Significance

Displays screen for stock storage sorting.

Width, length, height

Actual dimensions of the inventory location in meters.

Max. weight, max. volume

Max. – specifications of weight and volume.

Color

The color used for visualizing.

Dimension 1 from / number

Create the inventory locations for dimension 1 to the specified quantity (dimension 1 is always the Y axis).

Dimension 2 from / number

Create the inventory locations for each dimension 1 from dimension 2 and the specified number. (dimension 2 is always the X axis)

Dimension 3 from / number

 

Counter 1, counter 2

There are 2 counters that count up or down. These can be used e.g. for stock storage or removal sorting {COUNTER1} = Counter1, {COUNTER2} = Counter2.

 

The coordinates are displayed on the right side.

 

One- and two-dimensional stores

The green lines represent the storage area.

The displayed rectangle in pink represents the inventory location.

 

 

Height

Height of the storage area (read-only).

Distance (Y axis)

Distance between the locations vertically.

Height (Y axis)

Visual height of a location.

Pos Y

Y position of the location based on 0 point of the storage area on Y axis.

Pos X

X position of the location based on 0 point of the storage area on X axis.

Length

Visual length.

Distance

Distance between the inventory locations horizontally.

 

Using "Visualization", the storage area including all already created inventory locations is displayed together with the inventory location to be created (dark-red square) and the entire area for all inventory locations to be created (white area).

 

Use "START" to start creating and visualizing the inventory locations.

If they are not created as you had planned, undo this process using the "Undo" button.

 

When created, the first inventory location is created according to the stored coordinates and templates (inventory location identification/sorting). The second inventory location in the row receives the X position (X pos of the first inventory location + length + distance)

If all inventory locations are created in a row, the next row is:

(Y position = Y position of the first compartment + height + distance, X=X position of the first compartment), etc.

 

Three-dimensional store

For three-dimensional stores:

Dimension 1 = level

Dimension 2 = row

   = the shelf

Dimension 3 = shelf

The coordinates of the third dimension are calculated automatically.

The total area of the compartments provides the coordinate for dimension 1 + 2 (i.e. the actual shelf)

Only the number of compartments per X and Y is specified.

 

Example:

Shelf:        Length 0.8 Height 0.5

Number of compartments:  10

Compartment per X:          5

Compartment per Y          2

 

The compartments would then be created accordingly.

 

06 07 08 09 10

01 02 03 04 05

 

Total length from 01 to 05 here is 0.8 m.

Total height from 01 and 06 here is 0.5 m.

 

Ensure that the compartments are created in such a way that they are well visible.

 

Display on the right side of the window:

 

The green lines represent the storage area.

The displayed rectangle in pink represents the "shelf".

This rectangle contains dark red rectangles. These represent the compartments, i.e. the actual inventory locations.

Height

Height of the storage area (read-only).

Distance (Y axis)

Distance between the "shelves" vertically.

Height (Y axis)

Visual height of the "shelf".

Pos Y

Y position of the "shelf" based on 0 point of the storage area on Y axis.

Pos X

X position of the "shelf" based on 0 point of the storage area on X axis.

Length

Visual length of the "shelf".

Distance

Distance between the "shelves" horizontally.

x

(Input field on the right side of the dark orange rectangles).

Number of compartments horizontally. If the quantity changes, the number for dimension 3 is adjusted automatically.

y

(Input field above the dark red rectangles).

Number of compartments vertically. If the quantity changes, the number for dimension 3 is adjusted automatically.
