CONFIDENTIAL WMS Automation for Warehouses using Handheld device and Internet of Things (IOT) – Phase 1

2CONFIDENTIAL WMS - Problem Statement WMS - Our Solution Dynamic System Design Technology Stack Architecture Pre-requisites – Overview Requirements Agenda

CONFIDENTIAL Warehouse Management System (WMS) – Problem Statement PURCHASE ORDER RECIEVING QUALITY ASSURANCE PUT-AWAY ORDER PICK-UP PACKING SHIPPING  In existing WMS there are many process which are manually driven, due to no automated solutions. Two of the manually driven and critical processes are : Put - away process Pick- up process  Many other tasks like the workflow of a product between various processes/departments within the warehouse are manual, which results in lower efficiency and need of more manpower to manage the Processes.  There is little or no efficiency metrics tracking of employees who are responsible for each process.

CONFIDENTIAL To automate process, we require handheld & IOT based solution to:  Provide directions to shelf/rack using Mobile app and IOT Sensors/Gateway  Automate Pick-up and Put-away process, reducing manual intervention and updates.  Reduce total time in the entire process of Put-Away and Pick-up and improve employee efficiency.  Put away list is generated after the analysis of rack/shelf available capacity.  Real time tracking of product work flow and process/inventory analytics on Dashboard Warehouse Management System (WMS) – Our Solution

CONFIDENTIAL Directed Put-away Solution – Product Details Real Time Task Scheduling Task Alerts through Notification -- Employee status -- Validation & Acceptance Criteria -- Shelf Id -- Items Id -- Count -- Complete List Acceptance Tracking Tracking Put Away status -- Items and Employee Mapping -- Communication with Shelf for indication -- Validate Shelf Type -- Validate Shelf Capacity Mapping Zone Mapping -- Provide Directions to Shelfs -- Inventory Update -- Shelf Capacity -- Inventory Status -- Stock arrangement

CONFIDENTIAL Solution Pre-requisites - Overview −As the solution is targeted for Cost effective devices, so Android platform will be used for building Mobile Application. −For Barcode Scanning, software or hardware can be used based on speed and performance requirement. −Android based Mobile devices will be required with −Good Battery for the long hour running and fast charging. −In case of Optical Barcode scanning −Good Camera to capture images In low light −Good resolution −image stabilizer −In case of external Barcode scanning, a device should be compatible with the external accessory. −Google Push notification services, for Real-time notifications. −Backend layer will be required to communicate between a core system and Mobile devices.

CONFIDENTIAL Solution Pre-requisites - Overview −Backend Layer will need to be deployed on a Cloud Server, preferably a Window Server and will require communication via HTTP/HTTPS port via SSL. −Arduino Platform will be used for integration with IOT Sensors as it is readily accept as a market open source hardware platform under the Creative Commons Attribution. −BLE will directly integrate with Mobile devices over Bluetooth access. Each BLE will transmit unique advertising information which will be helpful in identifying the location and route calculation. −BLE Sensors will be used along with LEDs and Buzzer. Each Module will work on TTL logic, and wiring of the modules to the shelves will need to be done for actual implementation. −LEDs/Buzzer need to be of good quality. Additional hardware components may be required as per hardware development lifecycle. −Wi-Fi Access Routers to provide Internet accessibility to Mobile devices in Warehouse.
