Third-party logistics specialist Hanson Logistics is
benefiting from standard off-the-shelf wireless warehouse management software
from OBS Logistics. The sophisticated CALIDUS
WMS simplifies the warehousing of hazardous and non-hazardous chemicals, including
flammable products along with other goods.
The system makes it easy for Hanson Logistics to
manage a wide range of goods, including lubricants, paints and surface
treatments, optimising warehouse space and ensuring that they are stored safely
according to strict Health & Safety standards in its top tier COMAH
warehouse and flammable storage areas.
Using the system, Hanson Logistics has eliminated the hard
work of ensuring that none compatible materials are segregated in the
55,000-sqft warehouse as well as in the flammable storage and sampling areas.
The system also ensures batch traceability so that when a customer has tested a
sample and agreed to order the product, the required quantity is taken from the
correct batch.
“With CALIDUS WMS
we are able to make the most efficient use of our warehouse space while working
with the constraints of managing hazardous and non-hazardous products. Our
chemical warehouse operation requires the complex algorithms that the system
provides to ensure the stock is held in the right areas, keeping it safe as
well as ensuring batch traceability. The system also ensures we run the fleet
of forklifts effectively by having the option of ‘dual cycling’ so that we can
maintain a very efficient operation in terms of storage and service,” says Paul
Pheasey, Managing Director, Hanson Logistics.
CALIDUS WMS uses a
number of unique separate algorithms to manage warehouse space so that chemical
warehousing companies can run at a very high fill rate without compromising
safety, flexibility, accuracy or service.
Dave Renshaw, CEO of OBS Logistics says, “With CALIDUS WMS we find we can run at well
over 90 per cent, even with hazardous and non-hazardous products within the
same facility. The system has full Hazchem functionality and will ensure that
products are stored in the correct hazard area while optimising the available
space. It also allows new customers to be catered for so that the company can
develop its business without fear of compromising its service levels.”
OBS Logistics will be exhibiting at IMHX
2013 to meet with industry specialists at stand 17S91, facing Richard Noble’s
‘Bloodhound SSC.’
