Warehouse Management Systems Printing

Plus Technologies designs best-fit software solutions to streamline and improve print and output productivity in logistics and warehouse management environments. In order to better maximize efficiencies, organizations must be able to reliably print pick tickets, invoices, labels, bills of lading and other documents. In many cases, documents must be combined or re-ordered for inclusion in a shipment. Documents should not be duplicated or missed.

Logistics systems need to be highly available and reliable in order to fulfill the promise of fast, accurate shipping to anywhere in the world.

Logistics systems are often driven by automated and integrated order processing and inventory control systems. Orders are processed upon receipt, and they ship within 24 hours, if not same day.

OM Plus Delivery Manager print software seamlessly ingests output from ERP’s and inventory control systems, is able to combine and re-sequence individual documents as needed into ‘packets’ based on customer order, route and load balance them to maximize capacity. Delivery Manager spooling software monitors and manages the document delivery landscape, providing automated fail-over and notification capabilities to keep lines moving so that fewer deadlines are missed. OM Plus print software also manages label printing, even with industrial proprietary label thermal printers.

Use Case Examples

  • Large Grocery Chain: Uses OM Plus to enhance the label printing operation in their cold food distribution warehouse to streamline the movement of pallets for more productivity, and minimize print downtime.
  • Appliance Manufacturer: Utilizes OM Plus to improve line uptime and capacity by using the automated fail-over and load balancing features.
  • Software as a Service (SAAS) Provider: Uses OM Plus internet based printing solution for thousands of store locations. Business critical documents are first created at the data center. Non-technical personnel are able to securely download and print these documents automatically via a simple plug and play appliance located at the local store.
  • Distribution Center: Implements bundling of related documents through OM Plus to increase print throughput. Bundles are load balanced across multiple printers.

Barcode Label Print Solutions

When fulfilling customer orders in logistics, distribution and warehouse environments the printing of labels is critical. Interruptions to the print process means missing deadlines. Printing extra labels or missed printing causes mis-shipments, more labor, oversight, and lower customer satisfaction. Label printing can be a sticky, time intensive process process and in many cases an advanced spooling solution is required to achieve maximal results.

Customers use OM Plus in these environments to improve results by:

  • Load balancing large label print runs across multiple devices
  • Detecting printer failures and invoking an automated failover process
  • Ensuring there are no missing or extra labels printed
  • Creating bundles (kits) of labels and accompanying documents required for shipping
  • Creating and inserting header and trailer documents
  • Restarting label printing at the correct point in the print stream
  • Bi-directional communications with leading label print devices to confirm print function including Zebra and Printronix devices.
