1 Elliott v7.x Warehouse Management System (WMS) Edward M. Kwang President

2 Elliott V7.2 WMS Hardware Elliott Warehouse Management System is part of Elliott application and will only run on Windows 32-bit OS: –Notebook Computer (Recommend) –Tablet PC (Recommend) –Stationary PC (OK for Shipping Verification) –Or any device (WinCE) supports Terminal Services Notebook and Tablet PC should have wireless capability Barcode Scanner are desirable –Especially Wireless Barcode are recommended

3 Elliott WMS Hardware Strategy Elliott will use standard hardware –No proprietary hardware Most warehouse management solution today is based on expensive proprietary hardware. An Intermec portable RF barcode scanner sell for $4,000 - $5,000. –Standard hardware are cost effective and versatile A typical tablet PC or Notebook with wireless capability is around $2,000. A Tablet PC or Notebook can run all Elliott functions and all regular PC applications.

4 Ideal Hardware Configuration A lightweight Tablet PC or Notebook with extended battery –Last up to 6 to 8 hrs. –Weight less than 3 lbs. Wireless connection on the portable PC –WIFI 802.11b/g (best performance) Require up front investment to wire the warehouse $10K - $20K for a 90,000 SQFT warehouse. –Sprint® Wireless Card (cost effective to get started) Not as fast as 802.11b/g, but no up front cost $40(20M), $60, $80, $120(unlimited) per month May not have signal at the center of a large warehouse. Scanner (Wireless Recommended) –Bluetooth wireless scanner (or any other wireless) –It can be a scanner with cable. But it is less flexible.

5 Bluetooth Wireless Scanner Bluetooth is another emerging standard. It offers Inexpensive hardware and very low power consumption. But it is limited by low band-width and short distance. It is Ideal for cable replacement solution. Metrologic MS9535 VoyagerBT –Street Price: $490 Microvision Flic BlueTooth Scanner –Street Price: $200 –Just came out (it was not available three months ago) BaracodaPencil –It’s a wand and a stylus for PDA Watch for Symbol’s Scanner that Support BlueTooh. –They do offer non-bluetooth type of wireless scanner

9 Portable PC Configuration If you use Sprint Wireless Card –You must use Terminal Service. Otherwise Elliott would be too slow. –Firewall Terminal Server port need to open up. If you use 802.11b/g –You can use traditional LAN setup to run Elliott. Elliott run on your portable PC –However, we still recommend Terminal Services Elliott run on the Terminal Server The Portable PC run Terminal Client only Terminal Services require very little bandwidth and is much more reliable to run in the wireless environment.

10 Receiver places portable PC anywhere closed to the receiving goods. Receiver use the wireless scanner to scan the item barcode (UPC, or Mfg Item Number…etc.) The wireless scanner transmit the barcode value to portable PC (Bluetooth) The portable PC transmit the barcode value to Elliott application running on terminal server through yet another wireless connection (Sprint Wireless Card or 802.11b/g) An Example of Scanning Process

11 Warehouse Operations The following are four different types of warehouse operation supported through barcode scanning in Elliott WMS: –Receiving PO Warehouse Receiving (Add-on $995) –Shipping COP Shipping Verification (Add-on $3,995) COP Simple Billing (Add-on $995) –Inventory Transfer IM Inventory Transfer (Part of Elliott Basic Package) –Bin to Bin Transfer (Multi-Bin Enabled) –Warehouse to Warehouse Transfer –Physical Count IM Physical Count (Part of Elliott Basic Package)

12 Elliott V7.2 WMS Part of Elliott Basic Package: –System Wide Item Barcode Scanning Support –GTIN (Global Trade Item Number) Support –Improved Physical Count to Support Barcode Scanning –Inventory Transfer Designed for Barcode Oper. –Barcode Printing Add-on Features: –Simple Billing –Improved Shipping Verification –Warehouse Receiving Program –Multi-Bin Support –Radio Beacon Interface

13 System Wide Item Barcode Scanning Support Globally Support Scanning of –Item Number –UPC Code –Manufacturing Item Code –GTIN (EAN.UCC-14 / SCC-14) EAN.UCC-14/SCC-14 EAN.UCC-13 UCC-12 (UPC) EAN.UCC-8 System wide, any place system prompt you for an item number where validation is required, you can enter any one of the above.

14 Demo Item# Scanning Support Any Item barcode can be scanned anywhere if it is one of the following: –Item Number –UPC –UCC.EAN-13 –UCC.EAN-8 –UCC.EAN-14 (SCC-14) –Manufacture Item Number For examples –Item Inquiry –Stock Status Inquiry –ATP Inquiry –Order Inquiry

15 GTIN Support GTIN stands for Global Trade Item Number. It consolidates the following standard: –UCC-12 (UPC) –EAN.UCC-13 –EAN.UCC-8 –EAN.UCC-14 (support of package code)

16 2005 Sunrise & Barcodes

17 Global Trade Item No (GTIN) 2005 Sunrise (from UCC) –UPC is a US and Canada standard. Except US & Canada, retail products around the world are marked with EAN-8 and EAN-13 symbols. –By UCC mandate, by January 1, 2005 all US and Canadian companies must be capable of scanning and processing EAN-8 and EAN-13 symbols, in addition to 12-digits UPC symbols at POS. –In the mean time, UCC recommend all companies expand their business system barcode data field to 14 digits to make way for GTIN complaint.

18 GTIN Structure It is always 14-digit long The first digit is the package size code The last digit is the check digit For EAN-8, UPC, EAN-13, it simply fill leading zeros and right adjust to make it 14-digits GTIN code.

19 GTIN Four Type of Barcode Symbols 1234567891011121314 EAN8000000XXXXXXXC UPC00XXXXXXXXXXXC EAN130XXXXXXXXXXXXC EAN14XXXXXXXXXXXXXC

20 Demo GTIN Support Demo Setup of GTIN –Setup of Package Size Demo Scanning of GTIN in Stock Status Inquiry Demo Scanning in Sales Desk –Scan 14-Digits UPC Code without Package Size –Scan 14-Digits UPC Code with Package Size –Package Size is being utilized in: Physical Count Shipping Verification Sales Desk
