October 28, 2007 - The cube utilization feature of FastPic IC inventory control software provides warehouse users with dynamic space management tools to make maximum use of available storage space.FastPic IC software creates a graphic representation of storage and retrieval system shelves and totes that allows users to visually re-arrange them to achieve optimum storage density, effectively allowing a maximum number SKUs to be stored in the unit. Users can drag and drop totes onto virtual shelves to quickly determine the best storage mix, increasing the overall storage density of the unit and maximizing floor space utilization. The software also allows users to drill into a cell to specify its contents, reducing the time required for initial loading of the storage and retrieval system.
Shelf and tote configurations can be easily copied when multiples of the same configurations are required for maximum storage and picking efficiency. With the software’s color mapping feature, users can graphically see the location of free space in the storage and retrieval unit, and re-configure shelves to take advantage of unused space.FastPic IC software provides complete inventory control for increased levels of productivity, inventory turns, picking accuracy and inventory security. Inventory levels can be managed by part, work zone, operator, or time period. Seamless integration with automated storage and retrieval systems allows operators to enter or scan a part name, number or description into the system and have items are automatically delivered.
FastPic IC software is designed to work independently or to be integrated into existing ERP, WMS or other host systems.FastPic Systems, a company of the Kardex AG of Zurich, Switzerland Group, is a leading developer of software for automated storage and retrieval system operation. The KRI Group is a manufacturer and integrator of a broad range of AS/RS technologies including vertical lift modules (VLMs), vertical and horizontal carousels.
