Mobile terminal (portable data terminal)

Modern technologies allow trade and warehouse inventory management to be automated. Due to automation, personnel load can be considerably reduced, and even one person can perform the inventory of thousands of items and draw up all the necessary documents with relative ease.

The portable data terminal allows data about items to be acquired and transferred to the company’s database. The specifics of the operation of secure storage warehousing businesses, in which the flow of items is constant and needs real-time control, implies continuous connection with the company’s database and instant transfer of information about the registered flows of items to the database.

The mobile terminal allows the following types of items to be processed:

1. Items with individual or serial barcodes.
2. Items without barcodes identifiable by stock numbers or item names. There is an option of entering the data concerning a new item directly from the mobile terminal; in such case the label will be printed on the portable printer.
3. Master-boxes with varying quantities in the box.
4. Piece items identifiable by serial numbers in the barcode.
5. Items with weight barcodes.
6. Unidentified items which are marked with bin locations until they have been identified and sorted.
Incoming items are generally processes as marked, unmarked and not subject to marking. If the incoming marking is not sufficiently informative, it can be replaced or supplemented with the warehouse’s marking.

He mobile terminal has the following functions:

TRANSFER OF TASKS B/N OFFICE AND WAREHOUSE, WORK MONITORING – separate task lists for pre-scheduled receipt, detailed receipt, pre-scheduled pick-up, issue and loading to the vehicle. In the form of prominent colour-coded indication blinking in red and the number of the documents forwarded to the warehouse on each list.

A bin location warehousing module has been integrated in the WMS.Management software package. The user can receive information about stock balance and the actual location where the items are stored at any moment, including the precise specification down to the end bin. The implementation of bin location warehousing technology is necessary so that the storage of items can be streamlined, stock optimization methods can be devised and interwarehouse hauling can be reduced. The bin location warehousing technology is based on barcoding and is organized by means of numbering the bins, pallets, items, etc.

The office-installed part of the bin location warehousing module, which is used as the basis for operating the mobile terminal, features options for viewing and correcting data as well as printing out documents concerning the status of the cargo on the basis of its physical location. The reporting system allows the status of the item to be viewed in real time, on a particular date, and on the basis of arrival and issue turnover broken down by the following attributes: the warehouse (physical or customs warehouse), customer, document, order number, stock number, name, number of the container or transportation unit, bin number, piece barcode, pallet barcode, number of the physical operation, etc.

The bin location warehousing module and the mobile terminals connected to it work around the problem which arises when it is impossible to pick up or place the cargo and to make changes to its documentation at the same time. Now the cargo can be warehoused upon arrival or picked up before dispatch while it is simultaneously getting customs clearance, because information is available in two databases: the data concerning documents and the data concerning the physical location.

The interface of the software can be provided in any language depending on the customer’s preferences (Estonian, Russian, English, Latvian, etc.).
