Warehouse overview

General

The warehouse overview shows the interactive graphical representation of the topology in the upper part of the screen.

In the lower area, tabs can be selected to display different information. Different function calls are possible depending on the tab.

COGLAS offers you the option of managing various storage types in your warehouse. Management is accurate to the millimetre for all storage types except for block storage. Creation can be carried out both via the graphical user interface (see Changing topology) and via Excel (see Import/Export).

The extended search function can also be used in the warehouse overview. Saved filters can optionally be used by all users.

High racks and shelves

High racks and shelves are displayed in fields, levels and positions. Each position can have its own barcode. One storage unit can be stored per position.

The display is frontal on the shelf without depth information. Storage units are shown to scale.

Color

Description

Green

Available stock

Light green

Available stock (storage unit is not yet in target location)

Blue

Fairground

Grey

Inventory / storage location block

Red

Whole storage unit not available

Light red

Block

Block stores have a unique barcode and a defined maximum capacity.

The capacity indicates how many storage units can be stored in this block. In this example, there are 53 storage units on the block buffer area of maximum 10,000 units.

Tray

Trays are located in shuttles, lifts or paternosters. The illustration is the top view of the tray without height information. You can store the dimensions to the millimeter in width and length. Storage units are placed on the tray and are displayed to scale.

In this example, there are two Storage Units on Tray 01, of Lift 01. The blue storage unit is defined as a fixed location.

Edit

The display name, number and barcode can be changed. The number specifies the order of the nodes of a layer on the screen, it must be clear in the layer.

Delete

Nodes with inventory or subnodes cannot be deleted.

Add child note

If a node without its own storage locations is selected, the storage structure can be extended. The following node types are available for this purpose:

  • General: Hierarchical element without its own storage locations, under which other storage nodes are located.

  • Block: Floor storage with one capacity, in which storage units are managed on one coordinate.

  • High bay racking: High and shelf racking are mapped in the same way. When selecting this node type, the storage locations are generated via input parameters.

More information can be found under the button “Change topology” at the top of this page and in the chapter Interfaces › Import / Export.

Print selected place barcodes

For the storage locations selected in the list, location barcodes can be generated to mark the warehouse. The barcode assigned to the storage bin is used here. This can be adjusted at any time directly in the node info or by means of import/export of the warehouse topology.

Using the small arrow on the right edge of the button, the alternative option for printing the storage location labels in 2D format appears: Print selected storage location codes (2D).
A space-saving option for mounting labels on small traverses or in the case of many slots in a small space. A 2D-capable scanner is required for use.
