Industry FAQ
Frequently asked questions about WMS for manufacturing
When is a WMS worthwhile in manufacturing?
A WMS for manufacturing becomes relevant when material staging, stock levels, replenishment, bin locations or status information affect production. As soon as search times, stock discrepancies, manual transfers or delayed confirmations occur, COGLAS WEB WMS supports with guided warehouse processes.
Does COGLAS replace an ERP system (e.g. SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, proALPHA)?
No. The ERP system such as SAP usually remains the leading system for orders, master data and commercial processes. COGLAS WEB WMS complements the ERP with operational warehouse and material flow control on the shop floor. Warehouse tasks, stock levels, movements and status information are reported back to the leading ERP via integrations.
Can COGLAS handle production warehouses and spare parts warehouses?
Yes. COGLAS WEB WMS can map production warehouses, spare parts warehouses and maintenance material via bin locations, stock levels, movements and material flow processes. In the COGLAS Fit-Check we jointly review which initial scope fits the processes in the manufacturing environment.
How quickly can a production warehouse go live?
With a clearly limited initial scope, COGLAS WEB WMS can be put into productive use at short notice. Larger integrations with ERP systems such as SAP, SAP S/4HANA, Microsoft Dynamics or proALPHA as well as special processes are planned step by step.
Can COGLAS support kanban and material staging?
Yes. COGLAS WEB WMS can structure material demands, bin locations, stock levels and replenishment tasks so that material staging is system-guided and does not need to be triggered verbally. Whether kanban, workstation supply, forklift tasks or tugger trains are useful depends on the production layout, the leading ERP and the required confirmations.
How does the ERP system (e.g. SAP, SAP S/4HANA, Microsoft Dynamics or proALPHA) remain leading in production warehouses?
The ERP system, for example SAP S/4HANA, Microsoft Dynamics or proALPHA, usually remains the leading system for orders, master data and commercial postings. COGLAS WEB WMS takes over the operational control in the warehouse: mobile dialogues, bin locations, material flow and status. The relevant movements are reported back to the leading ERP system via integrations.
