Warehouse manegment barcode

Hi'

I am searching for software for managing warehouse. This means a
program almost like POS, but only for the warehouse management.

1) Purchase orders comes in. These are scanned
2) A recommended place in the warehouse are displayed
3) New orders comes in
4) The packager finds the item on the warehouse
5) The item is scanned and the order is ready for shipment (and now
registered as shipped)

Is there any plans or existence of software that can do this on OfBiz?

Or should this be custom developed?

Thanks for a great OS product! :)

Re: Warehouse manegment barcode

Hi,

there are some screens in the Facility component that are designed to
support a workflow similar to that you have described.
However, have a look at the hhfacility application (bundled with OFBiz):

https://localhost:8443/hhfacility/control/main

or

https://demo.hotwaxmedia.com/hhfacility/control/main

It is a proof of concept for a warehouse application designed for
hand-held devices.

Re: Warehouse manegment barcode

Hi Jacopo,

thank you. I was unaware of this :).

But the thing is that I need a barcode scanner. So a handheld device,
where you type in the stuff is not good enough. I need it to be fully
automatic, this means scanning a purchase order (with a predefined
barcode), and this is registered in OfBiz.

Any suggestions?

I am thinking about creating some SOAP services, and then making a
standalone thin client. Is this right direction?

B.R.

Re: Warehouse manegment barcode

It would be easier to create a small task-oriented UI that's wrapped around existing services.

In the warehouse apps that I have seen, the barcode scanners act as if they
were typed input. The workflow of the worker usually involves getting to
the proper field in the app, then using the scanner to input the code.

I did exactly this about 10 years ago for another appliction and it is easy.
Most of the handheld scanners are programmable so that the barcode scanned
outputs CR/LF or not and such things.

It should be a simple matter to program the scanner to work with a screen.
What I did was mostly for counting inventory, so the operator scanned a
barcode label and then entered a quantity on the keyboard.

I recall it being dead simple to implement on a system that was not designed
for this kind of thing.
