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.
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: 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.
