Dispatch Planning System Features
New Print-on-Demand module
Print On Demand (POD) is the latest module for DPS. POD assigns pallets and prints work for the pickers on-the-fly. All work is distributed through print stations (kiosks) located on the warehouse floor. Pickers swipe a card to request work and the station prints the next set of tickets to be picked. When done picking the worker swipes again to mark his current pallets complete and get additional tickets. Using the touch screen the pickers can also reprint tickets or mark requested items as out-of-stock.
Real-time Workforce Management
A major advantage of POD is the ability to accurately track and monitor the pick rate in real-time -for the whole warehouse or by individual worker. This helps identify ways to improve performance and allows the supervisor to easily see what is happening on the floor.
Automated High Quality Palletization
The key feature and benefit of DPS is that it can generate stable pallets optimized for picking, truck loading, and delivery
fully automatically. Other systems just help a supervisor to design pallets on a computer - DPS requires no supervisor interaction to produce excellent pallets. There are a large number of factors to consider in designing a pallet besides stability constraints: location of stock within the warehouse, where the pallet will go on the truck, how to split cases for orders with multiple pallets, customer requirements for offloading, and preferences for which workers may be in different areas. DPS not only creates stable pallets, but high quality ones that account for all these important preferences and more.
Distribution of Work
POD allows fine control of how work is assigned. With POD the supervisor controls how tickets are assigned to the pickers by setting the order in which routes are picked, the number of tickets to print for each worker, and the number of pickers working on a given truck. From the picker's perspective he simply swipes and works on whatever is next. The supervisor can monitor completed work, current assignments, and pick rates making adjustments as needed. He can also view individual worker status at any time.
Insightful Reporting
The POD module can generate a variety of reports that can be analyzed to improve operations. A key benefit of the DPS system is the ability to get accurate information on progress, pick rates and status immediately during the shift instead of days or weeks later.
