RedPrairie augments warehouse-management solution

Milwaukee RedPrairie Corp. said Wednesday that it has added new capabilities to its warehouse-management solution.

The productivity software provider has integrated much of the asset-management functionality found in its mobile resource management application, it said. The enhanced solution will now provide Web visibility for serialized assets, and enhanced integration of RFID yard transactions.

“In previous years, organizations often had to use separate programs to track inventory and assets in motion,” says RedPrairie VP product strategy Tom Kozenski. “Trailers could be tracked in the yard, and pallets and inventory could be followed within the warehouse with these systems, but once they were en route to a destination, a different solution had to be used to provide true visibility.”

The enhanced warehouse-management solution can now track these assets via the Web, and adjust loading and unloading procedure to match specific locations, Kozenski added.

The solution will now also provide improved visibility into inventory and work force over multiple buildings in a facility, as well as support for carrier moves, and the ability to dispatch trailers in mass. All of these features combined will provide for easier management of moving assets critical to warehouse operations, said Kozenski.
