Using Pick-To-Light and MMT

• Real time data collection using Radio Frequency (RF) technology
• Uses bar coding technology for vast improvements in speed and accuracy

• RF device, bar code reader and hardware vendor independent
• Specifically designed for small screen ASCII terminals
• Runs on any RF bar code reading terminal that supports a VT100 style telnet connection
• EAN-128 article numbering support for further increased speed, accuracy and conforming to new and emerging standards in bar coding technology
• Designed to enhance picking procedures on the shop floor
  

Technical Information

• Uses industry standard RF networks and devices
• Requires telnet type logons, using VT220 style emulation
• Interfaces to hosts with text based messaging, SAP R/3 (IDocs, BAPIs), ODBC, and can be interfaced to most other API based systems
• Runs on a UNIX or Windows 2000 Professional workstation installed close to the RF devices (Win2K has limited real time capabilities)
• Applications run on the MMT workstation, not the RF device
• Not ERP system dependent.  The ERP system can be unavailable for medium periods.  MMT allows operators to continue working in the warehouse
• Uses e-mail style “store and forward” for sending documents to the ERP system
• User specific permissions on transactions
• Minimal ERP connections used
