Modular Architecture
IDX MHE leverages functions of the IDX
product suite including an embedded development environment that
encapsulate functions commonly used in MHE integration routines.
This toolkit allows users to integrate with MHE systems of varying
complexity without the burden of developing extensive new code.
Database Buffer
IDX maintains its own database of
transactions providing redundancy and task synchronization utilities
that will keep your host/warehouse system processes running even during
equipment downtime or maintenance.
Error Logging
Comprehensive monitoring and
error-handling capabilities with utilities for translation into
meaningful messages to speed operator reaction and prevent equipment
downtime.
Test Bench Utilities
Comprehensive suite of testing and
simulation tools including a simulator and data generator to stress test
the software operation prior to live testing ensuring proper burn in of
the software and a robust implementation.
Cycle Count Utilities
IDX MHE supports discrete retrieval of
pallets/bins by order key, priority, case Id, customer and others for
the purpose of inventory stock checks. One or more output stations
can be marked as cycle count stations and IDX MHE will coordinate flow
of pallets to these locations for stock counting.
User Defined MHE Environment Settings
IDX MHE provides for easy configuration
of the physical aspects of the MHE environment based on the size and
type of material handled and the level of automation and control
required including number of bins, tiers, and aisles, crane
availability, equal crane use, optimization of double fork lifts and
others.
Independent Put-away Logic
IDX MHE provides an independent layer
of user defined put-away logic by zones (Normal, Hazard, etc), SKU ABC
type, SKU across aisles, column weight, and pallet/bin height.
Role Based Security
IDX MHE has its own layer of
application security providing flexibility and ensuring that flow
control and system information is shared on a need-to-know/need-to-use
basis.
