The direct line without a line.

Data recording and transmission in real time.

Do you sometimes get annoyed abouttoo much paper or wrongly positionedpallets? Too many order picking errors?Wrong deliveries? Out of date data inthe Warehouse Management System(WMS) because order picking lists were not reported back? Or warehouse“stand still” during inventories?

If you can answer just one question with“yes”, we should consider a solution –radio data communication system.Radio data communication means: wire-less data transmission from WMS to staffin the warehouse (e.g. transport orders)and wireless transmission from staff tothe WMS (e.g. goods in postings).

Data processing is done in real time. Theadvantage – your stock data on theWMS are always up to date.Jungheinrich provides you with a radiodata solution, from planning and pro-jecting right up to Customer Service withtailor-made maintenance contract. Inbrief, radio data communication for allwarehouse sectors.

Application sector 1:

Goods-in and storage.

Goods-in process chain (WE)1. Scanning in barcodes* of all delivered

goods2. Online adjustment between ordered

and delivered goods3. Immediate posting in Warehouse

Management System (WMS)4. It is possible to use of pre-printed bar-

code labels with clear TU (TU: Trans-port Unit), as the storage positionaddress is displayed on the operatorterminal and there is therefore noneed for it to appear on the label

Your benefits from radio data communication� Current stock in WMS at any time� Significant time saved by scanning

instead of manual recording (especial-ly by using EAN 128)

� Significant time and cost savings byusing pre-printed labels (no separateprinter required)

Mobile workplace for fast goods-in recording.

Can be equipped with terminal, scanner and printer.

*EAN 128 example: recording of e.g. productiondate, sell-by date, charge, number of packagingunit (NVE), weight, quantity, etc. with one scanningprocess.

Storage process chain1. Pallet pick-up in goods-in and scan-

ning of clear TU ID2. Storage position displayed on terminal3. At storage location, automatic check

of storage position by scanningaddress or check digit

4. Storage and immediate posting onWarehouse Management System(WMS)

5. Immediate display of retrieval orderwith near storage position address(implementation of double cycles)

Your benefits from radio data communication� Goods are immediately available for

customer orders� Up to date stock in WMS at any time.� Wrong storage position virtually

impossible� New orders (e.g. with high priority)

can be transmitted at any time withdouble cycles included in the process

� With multilevel storage, the locationof the TU is known at any time –routes are optimised

12

Order picking process chain1. Calling up an order picking order2. Picking up an empty and scanning

TU ID3. Transmission of first order picking

position via truck, hand-held termi-nal, voice or light system

4. Automatic check of order pickingposition by scanning address or checkdigit

5. Retrieval of respective number of arti-cles as displayed/announced

6. Acknowledge retrieval on terminal,voice or light system

7. Working off next order position untilorder is completed

8. Transporting picked goods to a trans-fer position (e.g. order merging, pack-ing station) or to stipulated goods-out area

Your benefits from radio data communication� Current stock in WMS at any time� Wrong order picking position/arti-

cles/transfer position virtually impos-sible due to check digits and barcodes

� Considerable time saving as there isno handling of documents and nopaperwork

� Faster acceptance and implementa-tion of order picking information

� Simple multi-order picking� Automatic correction of stock figures

possible� Immediate automatic replenishment

initiation in case of a shortfall in mini-mum quantities (waiting times arereduced)

� Low inventory work due to possibilityof permanent inventory (e.g. zero run)

� High flexibility within an order pickingprocess

Retrieval and Goods-out.

Retrieval process chain1. Calling up a retrieval order on termi-

nal and travelling to stated storageposition

2. Automatic check of storage positionby scanning address, check digit orTU ID (TU: Transport Unit)

3. Retrieval of TU4. Transport of TU to transfer position

(e.g. order merging, packing station)or to stipulated goods-out area

5. Automatic check of destination posi-tion by scanning address or checkdigit and depositing TU

Your benefits of radio data communication� Up to date stock in WMS at any time� Wrong storage position virtually

impossible� New orders (e.g. with high priority)

can be transmitted at any time and,for instance with double cycles,included in the current process

� Routes are optimised

Goods-out process chain1. Entering a tour identifier in WMS2. Scanning transport units3. Automatic check of affiliation of trans-

port unit with tour to be processed bythe WMS

4. Confirmation of last transport unitand load completion

Your benefits of radio data communication� Faulty loading or faulty/incomplete

delivery are virtually impossible.

Road is clear on data motorway.

Optimal link-up with host/warehouse management systems.

No matter what the requirements of“your” software are – the Jungheinrichradio data communication componentsare suitable for linking up with practical-ly all host/warehouse management sys-tems.

Link-up with host/warehousemanagement systemsTruck or hand-held terminals are in mostcases linked up with a higher level host/warehouse management system viaemulations or client/server solutions.

Emulations („thin client“)The processing mask of the host/ware-house management system is trans-ferred one-to-one to the truck or hand-held terminal.

The order display and data to be enteredare fixed. The terminal functions exclu-sively as a keyboard for the host/ware-house management system.

Client/server solution(„thick client“)The client software on the terminalreceives orders from the higher level sys-tem, edits them graphically and sendsconfirmations back.

Other link-up possibilitiesFor example, browser surfaces, Javavirtual machine, remote desktop clientor direct installation of desktop PC soft-ware on the terminal (e.g. SAP GUI).

In the warehouse� Wireless radio network (wireless local

area network, in short W-LAN) fordata transmission

� Radio access (access points or wire-less switches). These appliances areconnected to the company network(e.g. Ethernet), receive data from thehost/warehouse management systemand send these wireless to the respec-tive receivers (e.g. hand-held termi-nals).

On fork lift trucks� Truck terminals that receive storage

orders and display these for the oper-ator

� Scanners for identifying transportunits

� Label printers that make the correctlabel available immediately

For employees� Hand-held terminals that receive order

picking orders and display them forthe operator

� Pick-by-voice systems that receiveorder picking orders and announcethem to the operator

� Scanners that confirm storage posi-tions

� Portable printers that provide the cor-rect label immediately

Mobile workplaces� Equipped with terminal, scanner and

label printer, these mobile units ensureeasy goods-in recording

The complete solution: Planning and Projecting. Implementation and Maintenance.

A one-stop shop.

1st phase:ConsultationWe will explain during intensive discus-sions the potentials of radio data com-munication in your specific case. This isfollowed by an initial gathering of exist-ing material and information flow aswell as requirements of a new radio datatransmission system.

The result: Requirement profile of the radiodata communication system.

2nd phase: Planning and projectingA detailed concept will be devised basedon the requirement profile. Logisticstructures (e.g. warehouse layout,means of transport, IT infrastructure) aredocumented. Existing system environ-ment is taken into account.

The result: Detailed concept for your individualradio data communication system.

3rd phase:Realisation of radio location, installation and commissioningImplementation of the detailed conceptinto an operative solution with a “readyto go” system. The radio location (seenext page) is carried out to ensure com-plete and quick data transmission. Hard-ware components (e.g. access points,terminals) are installed and the IT envi-ronment is integrated.A regular information exchangebetween all concerned creates trans-parency for a safe project advance.

The result: Operative solutions with a efficientsystem.


19

4th phase: Maintenance and ServiceEven after commissioning the radio datacommunication systems, Jungheinrichwill be by your side as a strong partner.The performance spectrum extendsfrom hotline support to remote mainte-nance to on site service, from inspec-tion and maintenance via repair in ourown Service Centre to spare parts sup-ply. All services can be agreed individu-ally or as a service package.

The result: Long-term investment security.

We have something against radio black holes: Radio l

For a information flow that does not falter.

Radio location for highest datatransmission ratesThe area must be equipped with anoverall radio network/W-LAN whereverradio data transmission systems areused.

The physical challenge:1. The further away radio waves are

from the transmitter, the slower datais transmitted.

2. Walls, liquids and metals (e.g. racking)disrupt even distribution of radiowaves.

The Jungheinrich solution: Radio loca-tions. Initially, radio accesses (e.g. accesspoints) are theoretically set by means ofhall plans.

It is now measured on site how far radiocoverage is guaranteed with these radioaccesses. Special software records meas-uring data, such as signal field strengths,data transmission rates, interferencesand signal-to-noise distances.

The number and positions of radioaccesses are finally set after analysis ofthe measuring data. Original positionsmay be changed or radio accesses addeduntil every radio black hole has been“plugged-up”.

Professional documentation allows themeasurement and its results to beretraced. Radio location is a vital com-ponent of every radio data communi-cation project which ensures high data transmission rates wherever it isrequired.
