Introduction

Calidus Vision is a Visibility and Productivity tool, designed to represent data from diverse systems in a single system, displaying important information in small, meaningful, obvious screens designed to highlight performance and enhance visibility of issues in the host systems.

Logon

You are prompted to enter a username and password.

Security: At the moment Calidus Vision is expected to be installed within a secure network, so no secure URL is provided, although this has been done through the Portal for added security and can be added on your local installation. The username and password are secured through the database logon parameters - if the username is not valid on that system, you will not be able to log in. Further, if the session expires (through inactivity), the user will be required to log in again.

Main Screen

The main screen shows the menu options and systems that are you are allowed to access. This is achieved through a user-definable menu structure and a security level against each configured user.

Systems

You can filer the menu quickly by System by using the system popup. This will remove all items that have no meaning to the system being accessed. For a generic implementation linking to a WMS and WCS, these (and potentially the Admin functions) will be the only available options on this Systems popup.

You can filter the menu quickly by each System by using the system view dropdown.

Further systems that have been included are the Calidus TMS system.

Quick Menu

The quick menu will be open upon starting the system. This is a set of screens chosen by the user (from any of their available screens) that they use every day.

Single Screens

Single screens are screens designed to show a single aspect of a data for a specific purpose.

For example:

  • Orders Summary - this shows the total amount of picks available to be picked at the moment through the RF system.
  • Daily Part Pick Productivity - this shows the actual performance of pickers on the current day, versus the target productivity rates.

Summary Screens

Summary screens combine single screens to bring information together in logical groups. Additionally they summarise figures across a group (warehouse, shift, owner) is order to provide an overview of progress within the operations.

For example:

  • System and Warehouse Overview - This shows a panel of the current outstanding tasks available for users to complete, and a panel showing the tasks already completed by users on the current day.
  • Current Productivity - This shows panels of 4 general tasks in the warehouse, showing the performance of employees in this area, versus the target productivity rates.

Extended Extracts

Calidus Vision extracts and analyses all common task types (for example Picking, Receipt, Stock Take, Putaway, Replen). Some operations require that these task types be broken down further (for example, low and high part picking, picking from chill areas only). Extended Extractions are screens that show this detailed information in the way that the operation wants.

Note Note: Due to the bespoke nature of the breakdown (i.e. very site specific), this is not something that can be demonstrated and is not configured within the generic system.

Analysis & Enquiries

These screens allow you to view and extract detailed information over a time period.

For Example:

  • Detail Enquiry - this shows all the historical productivity data.

You can query data through the fields offered.

You can Filter data once found.

You can sort the data.

You can Export the data to CSV or formatted output.

  • Orders - Time To Completion - This shows the estimated amount of time required to complete the currently-available part picks in the operation.

Finding Screens Quickly

Note that this screen is one of the ones configured on this user's Quick Menu.

This can be configured through the User Settings screen.

Click on the User Quick Screens button and change the screens to be displayed (through the filter), the sequence, and save.

This methodology of sequencing screens is used throughout the system.

You can also access screens through a Search function on a popup toolbar.

Click the '>' button in the top left to show the popup toolbar options. Click Search and enter 'Status'. Click on Order Status 2.

Graphs

Graphs plot the data from the screens we have already seen (mostly the Summary screens) to provide a quick visible comparison of data. Warning Warning: Your Browser must have Flash installed to display the Graphs.

For example:

  • Shift Summary screen - this shows a comparison of the average productivity of all shifts in the operation, over all task types. Note that you can click on the data bars and you will be shown the data used to calculate the information shown.

Monitor

The Monitor screens show views of system-specific activities that require regular monitoring.

For example:

  • Order Status/Order Status 2 - This provides a view of the orders being processed in the operation, from some days in the past to future requirements. The detail can be further enquired by clicking on a figure - you will then be shown the detailed information relating to orders at that status.

Settings

In these screens you will be able to configure the way that the system operates:

  • Web - Here you can change the Look and Feel. For example, change the style to DHL, then reload the application using the button provided. There are many styles available, and more can be created (perhaps for a customer view).
  • Productivity - Here you can maintain the Minimum and Target productivity levels, which directly affects the RAG colouration in the screens and extracts. Note Note: the system is multi-warehouse and multi-owner, allowing for a central installation.
  • Run - Here you can maintain the screens for a simple Dashboard. Screens can be added and removed, and the dashboards can be set to run on this terminal through the Actions/Timed Display menu option.
  • There are also a range of System specific settings.

Admin

The Admin screens allow changes of settings that affect how Vision runs. These are very restricted options (with a high security level) and should only be given to a select few supervisors. Examples:

  • User Maintenance
  • Groups & Menu Maintenance
  • Rules Maintenance
