Add-on modules for the integrated storage management packages of the MP controllers
For optimal storage functionality tailored to customer requirements, there are many supplementary modules available
Module | Add-on modules | Functions |
---|---|---|
01 | Management of external shelves | Complete trays with the articles on them can be removed from the Lean-Lift® and conveyed to the production department by transport cart. |
02 | Access code management | Users and user groups are defined and assigned codes that give them authorized access to specific areas. |
03 | Item pool management | Import of item data from the host ERP system. |
04 | Management of storage location height | Each shelf/tray can be assigned a relative height. The automatic storage location search suggests a storage location with the requisite height to the user. |
05 | Management of storage time | The minimum storage time and the maximum duration (“shelf life”) can be set and monitored. |
06 | Operations journal | Data such as all put/pick operations, including information such as quantities, cost center, job number, storage locations and freely definable data, can be recorded in the operations journal and printed out or sent to the HOST system. |
07 | Barcode cross-check | When an article is stored or retrieved, the user is prompted to enter the article number via barcode as a check. |
08 | Free space management | Articles can be stored in different container types of predefined size. These specified details are assigned to the individual shelves/trays as fixed structures. Empty containers can be added or deleted at any time. |
20/25 | Shelf prepositioning | Parallel and serial shelf pre-positioning boost order picking efficiency. All the lifts in an order picking group are positioned at the same time, or the next lift is brought into position while the list item at the previous lift is being processed. |
21 | Inventory function | The inventory function supports constant status control or the option of defining specified dates for item inventory checks. |
23 | Decimal input | Depending on the setting, there can be 0 – 3 decimal places in the quantity field. The use of decimal places can either be selected for each individual article or be permanently set for all articles. |
24 | Adjustable container speed | This feature allows for the gentle transport of sensitive items. The speed of each container can be set individually. |
26 | Lending management | Lending management is useful for storing articles that are not consumables but are repeatedly returned to the lift. With lending management the identity of the person borrowing the item is requested and logged. |
30 | Park position extractor | Note: Only with Lean-Lift® and Multi-Space® systems with one access point at standard height. Note: After a container has been stocked and the optimization run has been completed, the extractor is then positioned at retrieval height. This is called the ‘Park position extractor’ feature. |
31 | Authorization management Rotomat® |
|
32 | Batch management | Only for MP 14 N-S (MP 14 N-H/MP 100 D-5)
|
33 | Shelf prepositioning according to article | Only for MP 14 N-S (MP 14 N-H/MP 100 D-5) If an article is called up on one lift, but the article’s storage location is in another lift, the user is given information about which lift has been started for the ensuing process. The user can go to this lift and continue working, without having to enter the article number again. This feature applies to serial and parallel shelf prepositioning (per job order). |
34 | Data field completion with 1D/2D barcode | Only for MP 14 N-S (MP 14 N-H/MP 100 D-5)
