Order dispatchingThe intelligent bundling of incoming orders to minimize picking routes and throughput times should be in the focus of every distribution center. Optimizing order sequences with ORion-PI®, thus means to reduce picking costs, to efficiently employ personnel and to quicken and balance process orders.Even though order sequencing strongly depends on the general logistic conditions such as due dates or incoming orders, the control of order sequences still considerably influences the effectivity of a distribution center. The combining of commissioning orders in multi-stage commissioning processes e.g. can, owing to circumstances, reduce picking routes by 50%. In this context also organizational conditions have to be considered. Efforts for sorting in the packaging section for example should be taken into account as they might rise when orders are combined in certain ways. Often conveyor instruments such as overhead or belt conveyor systems are involved in the sorting process as well. Typically, the respective putting is a dynamic process that can be very unevenly worked. Intelligent order sequencing allows the timed balancing of loads which yields significantly reduced error rates and peak loads and hence allows higher average load. ORion-PI® Order Sequencing can also calculate the optimal distribution of orders from stocks which are held in different distribution centers. Here the idea is to minimize split sending, that is, the sending of articles which are commissioned in different distribution centers. Transports between the locations are reduced, stocks evenly decreased. Mailing expenses are minimized. ORion-PI® Batch Optimization allows the optimal design of order sequences in multi-stage commissioning processes. An intelligent grouping of orders in batches is an important step in the optimization of intra-logistic commissioning processes. By optimizing commissioning orders the efficiency of all working processes can be increased significantly. ORion-PI® Batch Optimization makes sure that each picking bin passes through a minimal number of storage zones and reaches a high fill level. Based on item properties, storage layout and ordering structure ORion-PI® calculates the optimal sequencing of order positions before the picking process starts and – in so doing – allows even and efficient commissioning processes. Batch optimization – as part of the order control – holds remarkable potential in most distribution centers. Why? – Every single process within a warehouse is a continuously repeated part of an overall working process. While the effect on the single commissioning process is small the overall result improves significantly. Single commissioning processes are strongly interdependent due to the warehouse organization structure and the combination of customer orders. Exactly this is where ORion-PI® Batch Optimization applies. Furthermore, the optimization of order batches directly effects throughput times, picking rates and delivery service. |
