Container management module
Multimodal transportation specialist, Potter Logistics, has enhanced its warehouse management system with new Container Management functionality from OBS Logistics.
The Container Management Module for CALIDUS WMS interfaces with the warehouse management software to manage ISO containers that arrive daily by rail and road at the company’s 62-acre distribution centre and rail freight terminal in Selby, Yorkshire.
The Container Management Module controls all of the unloading and loading activities in real time over a high-speed 150 mbit/s backhaul mesh wireless network. The containers are stored according to dispatch date and some may remain at Selby for several days before they need to be dispatched.
