Driving Forces

Retail Life Sciences

Shipment Verification (Product, Shipper)

Brand / Price Protection

Warranty Verification

Outbound Capture – Verify only what is shipped

Data Integration triggered at time of shipment

Authenticity Verification (Product, Shipper, Manufacturer)

Fraud Prevention

Traceability

Patient Safety

Cradle to Grave Capture – Verify at initial receipt, track through shipment

Data Integration triggered by product disposition – receipt, adjustment, shipments



Retail


Retail Challenges

Multiple Serial Number Formats Per Unit

No Universal Industry Standard

Capture Methods for LTL vs Parcel

Picking Process Efficiencies



Retail Solutions

2D Scanning Client/Format Specific Barcode

parsing in WMS allows for automated recognition regardless of format or client

Serialized Hops WMS sets movement path

dynamically based on serialization requirements and automatically directs serialized product to dedicated serial capture station.



Retail Solutions

System Validates Serial Capture has been completed across multiple masks

WMS is configured with serialization requirements for each client and system enforces the process for each client

Automated Billing Capture WMS billing module configured

for client specific processes to capture billing events related to serialized inventory processing

>US Serialization Laws / Laws for Countries Outside US (China)

>Hierarchy Tracking / Reconfiguration within WMS (Pallet / Case / Inner / Each)

>Integration transactions (EPCIS, PML) for various disposition change events

>Cradle to Grave capture / validation with efficiency

>Data Volume (Integration File Size and Unit Level Inventory Record)

Life Sciences Solutions



>Specialized Integration Routines optimize large file load- Developed optimized processing

routine in WMS Integrator to process large files (>50MB per truck ASN, >100,000 serial numbers per truck ASN)

>Leveraged standard JDA WMS Inventory Model while optimizing performance for high data volume- Standard WMS screens provide full

visibility to serialized inventory- Serialization Optimized RF and GUI

screens allow fast validation and movement of extremely high volumes of serial numbers at once

14




>Optimized ASN Receiving for Serialized Product- WMS Receiving Screen automatically

determines whether a receipt is for serialized inventory and drives user to serialized receiving screen optimized for high volume serial capture/validation

>Optimized Stock Transfer Screens for Serialized Product- WMS Inventory Movement Screens

optimized for high volume serial validation to maximize efficiency

15




>Serialized Hop / Serialized Audit Capture on outbound- WMS RF Screen optimized for high

volume serial audit- WMS dynamically directs inventory

movement for processing

>Optimized Adjustment Screens to manage Serialization Disposition- WMS Adjustment Screen optimized to

enforce serial number capture/validation for inventory adjustments

- WMS Integration system synchronizes all serial number dispositions to the central history manager for recording


Lessons Learned


Lessons Learned


Cannot do enough volume

testing

Invest time in designing exception processes

Get operational involvement and

buy-in for process changes early and

often
