Warehouse management keeps stock moves in check
Meat processor Scotbeef has implemented the Empirica warehouse management system from Chess Logistics Technology at its new distribution cold store at Queenslie, near Glasgow.
Scotbeef produces high quality beef and lamb products for retail customers throughout the UK as well as exporting to Europe. Opened in October 2006, the new production facility, which includes a 5,500 pallet location warehouse, is designed to provide Scotbeef with a highly efficient retail packaging and storage operation.
Empirica operates in a stand-alone environment, managing stock movement and order picking by generating paper task lists used by lift truck drivers in the warehouse. All stock movements are full pallet and with the new system the company can track individual loads and report by various criteria to create a complete and accurate audit of all products.
Empirica provides supply chain integration with customers and partners through web-based access to real-time stock information. It supports in-house, third-party and contract based warehouse operations using real-time mobile radio, voice-directed or radio frequency identity applications.
