2021: Adding a DashBoard Module

On April 7, 2021, ANT Technologies announced the expansion of the functionality of the standard Logistics Vision Suite warehouse management system license. Now the basic package includes the DashBoard module (dashboard), modified by the company's specialists to a convenient panel, easily customizable for the project being implemented.

The DashBoard module allows you to monitor the basic performance of a warehouse in real time, it can be used to configure a watchdog or watchdog timer for visual warnings and notifications about the presence of bottlenecks.

In addition to inventory indicators, DashBoard can also access operating system performance counters (Windows System Performance Counters).

To visualize information, ANT Technologies specialists suggest using speedometers, linear indicator scales, color indicators (LEDs), which change their color indication depending on the situation or conditions that are written in the form of SQL expressions to the Logistics Vision Suite database.

The ease of setup and openness of the module allow for a short time to fully monitor the most critical operations and situations in the warehouse. All settings can be performed by the system administrator independently (after completing the administrator course) through an xml file and SQL queries to select data from the database.

The standard delivery of the system includes a set of more than 10 pre-configured counters for quick start of the dashboard with online monitoring:

• storage time of containers in the warehouse;
• Warehouse occupancy;
• The intensity of the main warehouse operations
• The scope of the main warehouse transactions (in lines and shipping units)
• status of documents and progress of their execution;
• bottlenecks (color indication in the form of'light bulbs' - traffic lights).

In the future, for customers with technical support, the set of meters will be expanded by the vendor. The variety and ease of implementation of indicators, as well as the ability to display several parameters for measurement on one visual object and filters, allow you to effectively and aesthetically solve any tasks of monitoring performance and preventing critical situations of performance of the warehouse complex.

The control panel can become both a convenient and important tool for the dispatcher, shift supervisor, warehouse complex manager, and be an important motivating factor if it is used as a scoreboard directly in the warehouse for ordinary users of the system who can see the results of their work in real time.
