REDEFINING PROCESSES WITH END-TO-END SOLUTION

Modern intralogistics faces ever-evolving challenges in achieving transparent collaboration across warehousing and production. Companies today require solutions that not only optimize internal logistics processes but also ensure seamless interaction between inventory management, transportation, and production workflows. However, without the right tools, inefficiencies in communication and execution can undermine even the most advanced operations.

With its proven solutions – Fleet Manager, Traffic Manager, and Order Manager – NAiSE has already revolutionized intralogistics, offering unparalleled control over mixed fleets, traffic coordination, and order execution. Despite the strength of these tools, the absence of handling units-specific capabilities has left room for improvement in delivering a truly comprehensive platform.

Introducing the NAiSE Warehouse Manager: a cutting-edge addition to the NAiSE Intralogistics Platform that transforms the way companies integrate warehousing with production. Designed to manage inventory, handling units, and station capacities in real-time, the Warehouse Manager completes the NAiSE ecosystem, ensuring full transparency and control across every aspect of intralogistics.

What sets the NAiSE Warehouse Manager apart is its philosophy: integration without compromise. Unlike traditional warehouse management systems that focus solely on storage, NAiSE prioritizes the synergy between warehousing and production. By managing not only active inventory but also reusable handling units and production stations, the solution ensures a holistic approach to intralogistics, tackling challenges others often overlook.

THE ROLE OF NAiSE WAREHOUSE MANAGER IN MODERN INTRALOGISTICS

To meet the demands of today’s complex intralogistics, companies require solutions that provide unparalleled visibility and control over their inventory, stations, and handling units across warehouses and production. The NAiSE Warehouse Manager introduces a transformative approach, redefining how material flow is managed in real-time.

Key Functions of the NAiSE Warehouse Manager:

  • – Handling Units Management

From standard pallets and containers to specialized handling units, the Warehouse Manager ensures complete visibility and organization. Whether the materials are in use, in transit, or awaiting return, the system tracks every unit to prevent loss and optimize operations.

  • – Station Management

Managing station capacities, positions, and availability—both in the warehouse and production areas—is a cornerstone feature of the NAiSE Warehouse Manager. This functionality ensures seamless transitions between production and storage, minimizing bottlenecks and maximizing efficiency.

  • – Real-Time Inventory Tracking

NAiSE Warehouse Manager offers precise tracking of inventory across storage areas, intermediate stations, and production lines. This includes detailed insights into the flow of goods, ensuring that companies always know what is where and when.

  • – Waste Management and Handling Units Lifecycle

One of the most overlooked aspects of intralogistics is managing empty or used handling units, such as pallets or boxes, after their primary use. Traditionally, these items are set aside with no immediate plan for retrieval or reuse. NAiSE revolutionizes this process by enabling real-time tracking, control, and repurposing of handling units.

THE HOLISTIC APPROACH OF NAiSE INTRALOGISTICS PLATFORM

The NAiSE Warehouse Manager, as part of the broader NAiSE Intralogistics platform, seamlessly integrates warehousing, production, and transportation by complementing existing NAiSE solutions such as Fleet Manager, Traffic Manager, and Order Manager. Together, they form a unified system that drives transparency, flexibility and simplicity across the entire intralogistics chain.

  • – Fleet Manager Integration: Manufacturer independent solution for all participants

A key component of NAiSE Warehouse Manager is its seamless integration with NAiSE Fleet Manager, enabling manufacturer independent integration, precise control and monitoring of mixed fleets that include AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles), AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots), and manually operated vehicles.

  • – Traffic Manager Integration: Streamline material flow in mixed operations

With NAiSE Traffic Manager, the Warehouse Manager traffic bottlenecks, collisions, and inefficiencies are minimized through intelligent routing and prioritization, creating a fluid flow of goods throughout the facility.

  • – Order Manager Integration: Intelligent distribution of material flow

The NAiSE Warehouse Manager works in harmony with Order Manager to efficiently trigger, track, and fulfill orders. This integration ensures that material requests are seamlessly communicated between production and storage, aligning with the demands of the entire supply chain. Moreover, the system offers real-time visibility into the order status, empowering operators to react promptly to changing requirements.

While traditional warehouse management systems often prioritize planning and organization of materials, NAiSE brings a distinctive focus to seamless transport and holistic integration within the intralogistics ecosystem. The NAiSE Warehouse Manager ensures smooth collaboration with existing Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) from other providers, allowing companies to retain their current systems while enhancing operational efficiency through NAiSE’s advanced features. This compatibility means that NAiSE can coexist with WMS platforms that specialize in detailed planning, forecasting, and resource allocation.

The NAiSE Warehouse Manager’s ability to interconnect all aspects of warehousing and production ensures that companies can achieve a fully integrated intralogistics workflow. For example:

  • – A material request triggered in production is instantly communicated to the Warehouse Manager.
  • – The system coordinates with Fleet Manager to assign the optimal vehicle for the job.
  • – Traffic Manager ensures that the material is transported without delays or disruptions.
  • – The material is delivered to the exact station at the right time, ensuring seamless operation.

MANAGING HANDLING UNIT WASTE: TURNING CLUTTER INTO ORDER

In traditional intralogistics operations, handling units such as empty pallets, bins, or containers often fall into a grey area of inefficiency. Once these units serve their immediate purpose, they are frequently left unmanaged pushed into corners, forgotten in storage areas, or awaiting manual intervention to be returned or disposed of. This creates unnecessary clutter, consumes valuable space, and disrupts the overall workflow.

The NAiSE Warehouse Manager ensures that handling units, regardless of their type or purpose, are actively tracked and managed throughout their lifecycle, offering:

  • – Real-Time Tracking: Every handling unit’s position and status are tracked in real-time, ensuring visibility and control across the entire facility.
  • – Intelligent Assignment: Based on their status, handling units are directed either back to their designated storage area or to a separate location for further processing, such as recycling or disposal.

Operators no longer waste time searching for empty pallets or containers—they have complete visibility and clear instructions on what to do. By addressing this critical yet often neglected aspect of intralogistics, NAiSE Warehouse Manager eliminates guesswork, transforms handling unit waste management into a streamlined, and efficient process.

USER-FRIENDLY INTERFACE FOR ALL

The NAiSE Warehouse Manager is built with a clear vision: to make advanced intralogistics solutions accessible to everyone, from technical experts to everyday operators. The NAiSE Warehouse Manager follows the same gamified, user-friendly interface principles as the rest of the NAiSE platform, ensuring a seamless and familiar user experience.
