Bringing goods to the person

摘要

Tognum's mini-load automated storage and retrieval and warehouse management systems are the primary engines behind order fulfillment in the Brownstown DC. Receiving: Most inbound product is shipped from overseas in shipping containers. Prior to shipment, Tognum America receives an advanced ship notification (ASN) from the freight forwarder that aggregates the shipments. Domestic suppliers provide a notification through electronic data interchange (EDI). Regularly scheduled deliveries by specific trucks are created in the warehouse management system (WMS). As soon as Tognum receives a bill of lading and packing slips for a load, that delivery is assigned to one of the trucks scheduled in the system. That allows them to post the delivery as soon as it is unloaded from the truck in the receiving area (1). Once the load is counted and inspected in the staging area (2), the receipt is confirmed and the product can be prepared for putaway.
