|
| |
|
| ==Introduction==
| |
| The purpose of the Calidus Vision product is to allow visibility of productivity, system and business information through the use of graphs, charts and data lists.
| |
|
| |
|
| There is a business need to extract and see information regarding the operation and its performance within the warehouse.
| | Here you will find all kind of guides, from simple to advanced, from user guides to technical implementation guides, all to provide as much information on how to get the best out your ''CALIDUS'' Vision implementation. |
|
| |
|
| Therefore the Calidus Vision product will be used to display this information.
| | Assuming you are now up and running with your system, why not try to find something you didn't know? Try clicking the 'Did You Know' link below. |
|
| |
|
| As Calidus 3''pl''-Mobile (the WCS) is highly used and must remain responsive at the highest level at all times, the data for Vision is \’mined\’ into a new database, where productivity analysis begins.

|
| |
|
| ==Network Diagram==
| |
|
| |
| In this instance, Calidus 3''pl''-Mobile exists on one server and the Data Mining process and Calidus Vision are on a separate server, for simplicity. As all of the processes are Windows-based, all could co-exist on the same server or be distributed to separate servers as required.
| |
|
| |
|
| | That's how Assist works - help broken down into bite-size chunks, designed to help you make the most of your system. If you're familiar with the web, and familiar with Wiki, you're going to find it easy to get around in Assist. |
|
| |
|
| ==Data Mining==
| |
| OBS have created data mining processes for the extraction of system, activity and productivity data from the Calidus 3''pl''-Mobile database.
| |
| System Data:
| |
| * Receipts in Progress
| |
| * Total Cases SKUs on Receipts
| |
| * Total number of SKUs on Receipts
| |
| * Number of Putaways and total quantity.
| |
| * Number of Moves and total quantity
| |
| * Number of Replens and total quantity
| |
| * Number of Full-pallet Picks and total quantity
| |
| * Number of Part-pallet picks and total quantity
| |
| * Number of Stock Take tasks
| |
| * Number and Status of loading tasks (Pending, Held, In Progress, Ready for Despatch)
| |
| Activity Data:
| |
| * All Activities performed by RF users
| |
| Productivity Data (Calculated from the Activity Data):
| |
| * Summary of number of tasks completed per day
| |
| * Detail of number of tasks completed per session
| |
| * Productivity figures derived from tasks per hour, per day.
| |
|
| |
|
| Platform: Windows
| | If you're coming here as a new user without a clear idea of how ''CALIDUS'' Vision works or what it does, you should start with the overview - that will give you enough information so that you're clear on what we're achieving with this application. You'll find it first in the list below [[#System Overview|here]]. |
| Technology: Windows Script, DAO, MySQL Database
| |
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
| ==Parameters==
| |
| The data mining database has been created to allow the entry of parameters to show Minimum and Desired Productivity rates for each functional area.
| |
| Screen-shots of the data and the settings currently enabled are shown in Appendix C
| |
|
| |
|
| As the data mining tools are further developed, this will also include:
| | If you're more comfortable with documents rather than web pages, we've got you covered. |
| * Historical analysis of productivity in functional areas, to learn productivity rates and predictions.
| |
|
| |
|
| | Every page here can be downloaded as a PDF (including this one) by clicking the ''Download as PDF'' link in the toolbar, typically on the left of your browser window. That will give you the PDF of just that page, but if you want something more formal, see the {{DocLink|Main Page}} link next to the page - downloading those as PDFs will give you the formal OBS document. |
|
| |
|
| ==Calidus Vision Front-End==
| | As you can see, some of the guides are multi-page, so we organise those into categories of pages. Where those pages form a guide themselves (like the Admin User Guide), you can use that ''Download as PDF'' link again from the category to get all of the pages in one handy guide. |
| The Calidus Vision web front end displays the data on timed changing display, optionally displaying the data in forms, graphs and tables.
| |
|
| |
|
| Sample screen-shots of the front end can be seen in Appendix C
| |
|
| |
|
| This supports:
| | We keep these pages up to date based on the latest available version of ''CALIDUS'' Vision - if you see something you like here, but aren't sure whether your version supports it, why not give our team a call? We can advise you of the steps you need to take to upgrade your system to the latest and greatest. |
| * Productivity views (per task, per Warehouse/Owner/Employee, in days, weeks, months and quarters.
| |
| * System views, showing the current state of the system mined in terms of tasks outstanding.
| |
| * Enquiries on the data in tabular form.
| |
| * Graphs showing the overview system and productivity data.
| |
| * Client look & feel.
| |
| * Definable menu structure.
| |
| * Multiple information streams displayed on one form (2 horizontally, 2 vertically, 4 corners).
| |
| * Configurable timed displays (what screen are displayed, how long each is displayed).
| |
| * User-definable settings.
| |
| * User settings (limiting Company, Warehouse and Owner)
| |
|
| |
|
| Platform: Windows/Linux
| | We're constantly updating the system, and that means that we're constantly updating the documentation too. One of the great things about Wiki pages is that that history is kept, so you can click the ''View History'' link (usually at the top of the page) to see all previous versions of the help page. So, although all the guides are the latest version, you can still get at the older pages for reference. |
| Technology: IIS (Windows), ASP, DAO, JavaScript, HTML, CSS
| |
|
| |
|
| =System Guide=
| | The same is true of any of the pictures that we've uploaded in these guides - click on them and you can see the whole history of that picture. You can download them as well, if you like. |
|
| |
|
| ==Basics==
| | Of course, we also keep PDF copies of the previous version of the documentation when we've finished it, so we can always provide them to you. We've generated them from these Assist pages just like you can - because it's that easy to use. |
| The system is access through your web browser. Currently any web browser and screen size is supported, although larger screen sizes can mean better detail and functionality in the screen.
| |
| Graphs and Charts are provided through Shockwave Flash, and this plug-in must be installed in your browser.
| |

Welcome to the CALIDUS Vision Assist help pages.
Here you will find all kind of guides, from simple to advanced, from user guides to technical implementation guides, all to provide as much information on how to get the best out your CALIDUS Vision implementation.

That's how Assist works - help broken down into bite-size chunks, designed to help you make the most of your system. If you're familiar with the web, and familiar with Wiki, you're going to find it easy to get around in Assist.
