Transparency and efficiency in the Kanban shelf
Transparency and efficiency in the Kanban shelf
iTERMINAL: Digital interaction point on the Kanban shelf
Faster. More precise. More efficient.
The smart upgrade for your Kanban shelf
Kanban shelves are true productivity boosters in parts supply. However, when hundreds of items are stored side by side, finding the right bin often takes longer than necessary – including the risk of picking errors.
With the iTERMINAL, we bring transparency and speed to this process!
The digital information board enables direct access to all item and bin information right at the point of use and supports both item searches and picking operations.
This reduces the workload for employees, minimizes errors, and accelerates processes. A real productivity boost for production supply!
iTERMINAL Use Cases. One system – three functions.
1. iTERMINAL for article search
Simply enter the desired item in the search bar or scan the item barcode – within seconds, the iTERMINAL displays all relevant information about the item and its storage location.
The following information is displayed:
- Article description
- Customer article number
- Image
- Bin type
- Filling quantity
- Storage areas & bin locations
2. Search-by-Light – iTERMINAL in combination with iDISPLAY
Article searches are further supported by the digital shelf display iDISPLAY, which lights up at the exact position in the Kanban shelf where the searched arrticle is located.
This makes the article search even faster!
3. Pick-by-Light with iTERMINAL and iDISPLAY
The two systems support not only article searches but also order picking. By entering the order name or number manually, or scanning the barcode, the order is selected and the picking process can begin. The iDISPLAY’s integrated LED indicates which article are needed for picking, while the iTERMINAL displays all relevant picking information:
- Status
- Description
- Submission date
- Number of articles
- Number of positions
Orders can be transmitted to our system via REST API or as a .csv file via FTP.
"We use the iTERMINAL at various storage locations to support our picking processes. The terminals are mainly used for Search-by-Light and Pick-by-Light applications.
The visual support provided by the LED display is particularly helpful, as it allows our employees to find items faster and more accurately. In combination with the electronic shelf label iDISPLAY, an interactive and guided picking process is ensured, further boosting efficiency. The iTERMINAL helps us significantly reduce picking times and increase our efficiency. […]"
