Client Request
Request for functionality to display on the RDT terminal, prior to start of Picking Task, to enable Picker to select correct size carton for Pick based on the size of the order - an initiative to reduce packaging.


OBS Logistics Solution
Note Note: The changes will be made to version 3.4 of the Calidus Mobile system and version 4.14 of the Calidus WMS only.

The existing Stock Drip Feed message will be modified to include the dimensions (depth, width, height) of the stock codes.

The Pallet Types Drip Feed message will be modified to include the dimensions of the cartons (i.e. the Pallet Types).

When the RDT process assigns a pick to an RF user (for Actavis, this is a single order), the RF unit displays an optional summary screen, showing the total quantity of stock to be picked. Calidus Mobile will also calculate the total volume of picks on this order and display a number of suggested Carton Types (Pallet Type) capable of holding the contents of the order. The screen will display the carton plus the number of this type required. Each carton type suggested will have its own line.

Note Note: The smallest number of smallest carton types capable of holding the entire contents of the order will be suggested.

Examples: There are 3 carton types:

  • Small - can hold up to 30cc
  • Medium - can hold up to 50cc
  • Large - can hold up to 100cc
  1. If the order volume is 30cc, the system will suggest 1 small carton.
  2. If the order volume is 40cc, the system will suggest 1 medium carton.
  3. If the order volume is 60cc, the system will suggest 1 large carton.
  4. If the order volume is 100cc, the system will suggest 1 large carton.
  5. If the order volume is 110cc, the system will suggest 1 large carton and 1 small carton.

Note Note: In the final example, it may be more efficient in space utilisation within the carton to suggest 2*small cartons and 1*large cartons. This mechanism is, however, more efficient on the number of cartons and, therefore, more efficient for the picker.

The display of these suggested carton sizes will be rule-controlled in Calidus Mobile.
