 Gestock
is a stock management software, with an automatic addressing.
Schematically, Gestock knows the volumes of the available storage
tools (vats, shelves, cupboards...), as well as their filling situation.
It also knows the necessary storage volume for each reference.
Finally, it gives a priority to site selection according to the storage
criteria assigned to each reference (Screw = Vats, Engine = Shelves,
Bottles = cupboards...).
All these criteria setup are configured in the Gestock " MASTER "
module.
When an operator wishes to store a reference, he must only select
such reference, state the quantity to be stored, and GESTOCK will
automatically select the most appropriate place to store it. This
operation is carried out from the " RUNNING "
module.
USER-FRIENDLINESS : Gestock can be used in
two different way :
1. The RUNNING module, for all
standard functionalities (inputs - outputs - movements…)
2. The MASTER module, for all
setup functionalities, statistics, statements, requests...
Gestock therefore remains very friendly for the Running module users,
and also very complete for the Master module user.
Gestock can give access to following functions through both modules :
Item management :
• Creation, modification,
removal of items,
• Equivalence management.
 Management
of stored and treated product flows :
• Local unit inputs and outputs ;
• Local list inputs and outputs ;
• Inputs and outputs by list
coming from the central site ;
• Graphic location of the
prehension zone (in 2D) ;
• Item movement ;
• Management of administrative
positions ;
• Booking articles or lists ;
• Processing of missing items
when entering inputs ;
• Management of temporary
outputs,
• Management of owed items ;
• Rotating inventories, by
lists or by dates.
Management of the sites :
• Configuration of the Storers ;
• Inhibition or validation
of storing sites ;
• Multiple address storage
;
• Storage of kits which preparation
is in process ;
• Volume management (loading
factor...) ;
• FIFO management, by batch,
by validity date, by quantity, by location or manual ;
• Clearing the site or not
when the quantity of items in such site is zero.
Management of the different kinds of presentations
:
• Creation, modification,
removal of a presentation,
• Assignment of a volume to
a kind of presentation. Piloting one or more storage carrousels
(Girostock or Silo) starting from one same application,
with an optimization of the movements of
such carrousel(s).
Import and export of the files coming from the
central sit :
• either on diskette or by
direct transfer on the disk (ASCII format),
• or in real time through
a link of the ODBC type.
Weight management (option) :
• Imbalance calculation,
• Overload visualization (2D).
- Price management (option)
- Management of empty spaces
- Management of use frequency (option)
Access Management :
• Operation traceability ;
• Creation, modification and
removal of access codes ;
• Assignment of storing areas
dedicated to some access codes (option).
- Statistics according to the criteria as per user’s choices
(criteria saving).
Technical description
The porting of Gestock under Windows offers the opening onto Windows
environment applications and their easy setup (parameter setting and
printer setup, data exchanges through OLE and ODBC links, software
integration in an office automation environment...).
STRUCTURE OF THE SOFTWARE PACKAGE
Gestock is made out of 3 closely dependent programs :
Stock management program :
• Items management,
• Sites management,
• Stored products management
: Inputs, outputs, inventories...
Program to initialize the application :
• Definitions of storage appliances
: Name, address, number of levels, of zones...
• Definitions of containers :
Name, dimensions, volume...
Software setup program :
• Validation and inhibition
of the software different options :
• Weight management ;
• Price management ;
• Management of use frequency ;
• Equivalence management ;
• Access management.
SAFETY
Gestock accepts 4 access levels :
Consultant’s level :
The operator can only consult stored items (no stock modification,
no storer piloting).
Operator’s level :
The operator can have access to all proposed functions (application
normal working).
Supervisor’s level :
The person in charge for the warehouse can start Gestock, carry out
sortings in order to work out statistics, modify the length and the
names of fields in the data bases. Moreover, the supervisor can set
up free access points or associate an access right per operator to
part or to all the machine.
Configuration level (only for ELECTROCLASS)
:
The ELECTROCLASS staff sets up the application options, the client’s
specifications and the external links if necessary.
