In the words of those who use it
Thanks to Binari, Dimac has cut order delivery time to 24 hours and, at the same time, the number of picking errors. Caotic has allowed us to control a larger number of SKUs, expiry dates and lots more efficiently.
We had problems managing the warehouse because we used obsolete software and technical support was non-existent. Binari helped us quickly change the way we work, streamlining and simplifying processes. Now LEDS C4 works the way it should.
Warehouse concepts, explained
What the terms used in each module mean, and how Caotic handles them.
- What is a chaotic warehouse?
- A warehouse in which goods have no fixed slot: the system assigns each receipt the best free location according to space, turnover, lot and expiry date. It uses space better and cuts travel, but only works if the system knows at all times what is in every slot. It is the principle Caotic takes its name from.
- What is voice picking?
- A way of picking orders in which the operator receives instructions through a headset and confirms each step by voice, with hands and eyes free. In Caotic it works for order picking and stock counts; according to the product sheet, it increases operator safety by 80%.
- What is the difference between FIFO and FEFO?
- FIFO (first in, first out) ships first what came in first. FEFO (first expired, first out) ships first what expires first, even if it came in later: it is the rule in food and for any dated product. Caotic applies one or the other when it reserves the lots for each order.
- What is cross-docking?
- Moving goods from the incoming lorry to the outgoing one without storing them: they are received, sorted and dispatched without going onto the racks. Caotic coordinates inbound and outbound so the operation is immediate and takes up no warehouse slots.
- What are the SSCC and the EAN-128 label?
- The SSCC is the code that uniquely identifies each pallet or parcel across the supply chain; the EAN-128 label (now GS1-128) carries it together with data such as lot, expiry date or weight. Caotic prints the labels at receiving and reads the codes at every movement, so each pallet is tracked by its SSCC.
- What is a permanent inventory?
- An inventory kept up to date with every movement, instead of being counted once a year with the warehouse closed. In Caotic every receipt, put-away and shipment is recorded instantly by RF terminal or voice, and counts are done without stopping operations: differences are resolved on the spot.
- What is picking-slot replenishment?
- Moving goods from reserve storage to the picking locations before they run empty, so the picker never finds an empty slot. Caotic generates it automatically, in real time according to stock and pending orders, or on request from the supervisor or the operator.
