Improve Warehouse Productivity with Diagnostics, According to QC Software Executive

Aug. 1, 2012 - PRLog -- Do you know how healthy your warehouse or distribution center is?

Working in the proverbial dark can be expensive.  If your material handling system is not in the pink, you may be experiencing an inability to handle seasonal fluctuations, system shutdowns, slow response times, or an inability to track or confirm orders.

There are many kinds of equipment in the warehouse that must work in harmony to efficiently process thousands of orders each day. This includes the IT system, conveyors, controllers, sorters, input/output devices, RF terminals, picking systems, printers, scanners, scales, etc.  Even the most robust equipment needs periodic maintenance and adjustments. It would be virtually impossible to quickly and accurately troubleshoot problems without utilizing diagnostic software.

An agile diagnostic application allows you to monitor operations and diagnose problems in real time.  This software can provide production statistics and historical data for an in-depth look at labor and system performance. You can also receive notifications from a mobile device, alerting you to possible issues based on predetermined criteria.

“Diagnostic software is an essential tool that allows you identify system anomalies and rapidly resolve problems.  We had a customer who was experiencing several problems in their warehouse, including excessive recirculation, inability to confirm orders and system shutdowns. By utilizing our application, they improved system reliability, doubled the number of completed orders and efficiently handled increased demand,” states Rich Hite, President of QC Software, a leading provider of warehouse control systems.

With a greater understanding of your entire operation, you have the ability to make fast decisions, more effectively allocate resources and take pre-emptive action when unexpected events occur, such as last-minute changes in customer requirements or a conveyor that stops working. This knowledge helps you maintain desired levels of production while controlling costs.
