Serialized Logistics

Integrate Your Serialization and Warehouse Operations

When products are ready to be released to the supply chain the logistic process starts to get products to the end consumers. When products are being serialized and aggregated it will complicate the existing business processes and the existing ERP and WMS are mostly not capable of handling serialized goods. Movilitas.Cloud provides a mobile solution to support warehouses to deal with serialized goods for all their logistic operations.  

Features

Inbound

Inbound means all goods that are being received into a warehouse. This can be based on orders from an ERP or from paper-based systems. It can also include governmental requirements like verifications on returned goods or goods from sources that require verification. Movilitas.Cloud with Movilitas Mobile supports these processes from an operational point of view. Also, generation of SSCCs (Serialized Shipping Container Code) and printing these are supported. Backend systems like repositories (SAP ATTP and TraceLink) and WMS/ERP can be updated.

Outbound

Outbound means all goods that are shipped from a warehouse. Also, here we see different requirements of reporting to governments or to business partners. Movilitas.Cloud supports the outbound processes, and this can be integrated with regulatory channels, other repositories, and collaboration platforms like SAP ICH and TraceLink.

Re-aggregation

Typically, one of the most common processes in a warehouse is the rearrangement of logistic units. This we call re-aggregation and consists of packing and unpacking operations. Movilitas Mobile makes it easy to scan children and unpack them from their parent and pack them to another parent.

(Re-)labelling SSCC

Logistic units are serialized by using SSCCs. Movilitas.Cloud allows for the generation of these labels and printing them on Zebra Cloud Connect printers or through NiceLabel Label Cloud. Labels that are damaged or unreadable can also be reprinted by scanning one item of the logistic unit. The label design can be adjusted by the customer.

Reporting to Government Systems

Many legislations around traceability also require logistics operations like receiving shipping and re-aggregation to be reported. For those countries where this is required Movilitas.Cloud supports integrated reporting as part of the operational process. This reduces the need for duplicated scanning for both your own operations as well as legal requirements.

Integrate Clients/Suppliers

When shipping goods to your clients or receiving goods from your suppliers it would be an advantage if you could share your activities and/or aggregations with your business partners. Movilitas.Cloud allows for exchanging this information in the form of files, like EPCIS, or in the form of a digital twin, which gives access to the same object.

Mobile (off-line) Solutions

In areas where you have no internet connection or are temporarily disconnected it is still possible to scan for verification or decommissioning purposes in an offline mode. As soon as an internet connection is re-established the offline scanned items can be reported to Movilitas.Cloud. In case no internet is possible at all it is still possible to verify by using SMS communication.

Fast Scanning

Some solutions on the market promote the fast-scanning capabilities. What this mostly means is the possibility to press a button and keep scanning on a continuous basis. This is however a hardware setting on the scanner. Of course, Movilitas Mobile also operates in this mode if required. There are also possibilities to scan many codes in one scan. This needs to be looked at on a case-by-case basis.

Verification

Verification of serial numbers is required in many countries. Movilitas.Cloud supports verification of serial numbers and batches towards their own repository or customer repositories like SAP ATTP. In the US there is no central governmental repository to verify against but here Movilitas.Cloud is a full Verification Routing Service (VRS) provider allowing verification requests and responses to salable returns.
