Warehouse TRM with Voice Recognition RF terminals and real-time conveyor interface.

June 2006 to October 2007
TRM development in the distribution center of a UK-based retail wine distributor, with VR and automation interfaces.


Modules: WM, TRM, HUM, SD, transportation with 4.7.

Tools: ABAP, TRM automation interface Psion voice recognition middleware.

A new distribution center for retail wine distribution, mostly internet and periodical-based direct sales. Psion voice recognition terminals and middleware were used to create wave-based optimal trolley tours, in which pickers pushed a cart with up to a dozen cartons into which orders were picked via voice instructions. Deliveries were transferred to an automated conveyor system by Univeyor, with pick-to-light features, palletizers and automated shipment creation. I architected the system, designed the protocols to use with the Psion middleware and the Univeyor control systems, wrote all the code and documented the system, with training for the technical support personnel. Work was done remotely with a some site visits.
