Elettric 80 Urges that Effective Material Handling Requires Smart WMS

May 5, 2011 - PRLog -- The Warehouse Management System (WMS) monitors and guides the complete process: including user0friendly terminal displays and simple system set-up. The WMS is a scalable SW package that is easy to configure and integrates into different system environments, from acting as the main WMS to providing be-spoke WMS solutions for specific material handling tasks. Elettric 80 WMS solutions are flexible and based on state-of-the-art database technology, primarily in SQL format. The WMS functionality can be connected to a wireless tablet PC to simplify the operation of the production unit.
The Elettric 80 WMS (Warehouse Management System) solution optimizes the use of different machine groups (palletizers, wrappers, labeling, data tracking and transports (LGVs) in relation to the logistic process and production management. With a modular design, Elettric 80 WMS solutions are easy and fast to implement, and can be tailored to meet the needs of the customer and the existing computer system. In its simplest form, the WMS can data track products during the production process and act as an interpreter and message buffer between the existing ERP and Warehouse Management Systems, WMS, while also having the capability to be responsible for all WMS functionality.
The key strength of Elettric 80 lies in the company’s concept Freeway. A highly flexible system for material handling using palletizing robots and laser automated guided vehicles (LGV/AGV), high speed wrappers (Silkworm) and a pallet control system, that links to a state-of-the-art WMS (Warehouse Management System).
A WMS is the brain of the automation system. It keeps track of the overall performance of the system, and if required the inventory and data tracking of goods.
A WMS is usually designed to identify product location, quantity, size, and order information to determine where to stock, where to pick, and in what sequence to perform these operations. In effect, it monitors and guides the complete end-of-line automation process.
LGVs / AGVs / SGVs
A LGV physically moves the goods and acts as the link between the different machines within the warehouse environment. The vehicle combines many different systems to ensure reliability and efficiency, including Energy, Safety, Fork/load handling and Guidance and Control systems.  LGV is also known as Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV), Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGV) or Self Guided Vehicles (SGV).
Elettric 80 is a global provider of end-of-line automation solutions designed to increase operational efficiency for high volume Consumer Products manufactures.
