Summary

With out latest release we offer an extended feature to AdHoc moves where users can override a Beas lock or WMS reservation for a logistical unit to be relocated. Also, a fully automated memory cleaner has been introduced for the mobile client.

Overriding and Reinstating Beas Work Order lock for new location at all AdHoc moves

In the Beas-WMS integration feature, WMS can now reallocate Beas WO locks for storage locations with Full and Multiple SSCCs. When choosing AdHoc Movement for either Full, Multiple or Partial Logistic Units on the WMS mobile client, it is possible to override the Beas lock on the selected SSCC and have it reinstated for a new location.

In a real-life scenario it is useful to know throughout the production - and logistic - process where all items (including all production raw materials or items, too) are positioned within the warehouse at any given point. For enhanced efficiency and accessibility for production, placing a lock or reservation on certain items can be key so that they are 'locked' into their designated storage location within the warehouse and not transferred accidentally. However, in certain situations, locked materials might need to be moved from their allocated position by logistics e.g. due to lack of storage space. In this scenario it is possible to override the production lock on the logistics side and reallocate it for the item at a different storage location, so that the repositioned items can be found instantly and easily by production - creating a new, allocated storage space.

In this process, when confirming an AdHoc move for the selected, locked SSCC on the WMS mobile client, WMS removes the Beas WO lock in order for the SSCC to be moved and notifies Beas about the transfer. Beas then reinstates the lock for the new location after the move has been performed.

A new screen added to the mobile client warns the user about the reservation before proceeding with the move.

Memory Cleaner for Mobile Client (MC²)

Fully automated Memory Cleaner for Mobile Client (MC²) has been introduced for Produmex WMS 2023.10.

The memory usage of every Mobile Client instance is strictly optimized and ideally lowered by hundreds of MBs or even a GB. (E.g. if 50 Mobile Client instances are used on a terminal server, it means that the freed up memory can easily reach 50GB or more depending on the workload. Note: one Mobile Client instance means one Produmex.Sbo.Logex.Execute.FatClient.exe instance in the memory.)
