The functions are:

System Log

The System Log displays information about error messages, import of host orders and other information relevant to the servicing and maintenance and an important tool to pinpoint problems. The System Log does not contain information about changes in the inventory, this is covered by the “Transaction Log”.

Menu: System Information -> System Log.

Short-Cut: CTRL+Y

It is possibly to filter the log, so only a specific time internal is shown, only logs generated by some modules or narrow by some specific error codes.

Choose also to view all types of messages or only errors:

Use “Error Source” to see only one of the sources of error messages.

To get more details about a message, double click on the row and a window will be opened, with more detailed information.

Box Statistics

There is an ongoing need to monitor how the available location types are used. The box statistic provides a list over which location types have been created, in which zones they are used and how many are in use and free. Moreover the free and used space and area are calculated.

Menu: System Information -> Box Statistcs.

Short-cut: No

Functions

Shows a table over used and free locations group by location types. Moreover it is possible to show all zones and one specific zone. The bottom line is a sum of all available types. So for example if the the [Zone] drop down box is set to “All Zones”, the bottom line shows the total available number of locations, free and occupied for the current site.

Order Statistics

The Order Statistic function is used to see information about the picking rate. For example, how long does it take for the warehouse from an order is received until it actually is picked. It is an effective tool to monitor if the warehouse is working satisfactory and how changes influences on the output. Statistical tools are important for the ongoing optimization of warehouse operations. It is for instance possible to see:

Here is the number of transactions divided up into how many per hour for one day. The best utilization of the warehouse is achieved by operating at full capacity for as short a time as possible.

Warning!

Some of these statistical calculations are very demanding and can load the database seriously. Therefore, avoid prolonged use of statistical functions when Logisoft is in normal operation, since it could potentially cause longer response times for users.

Menu: System Information > Picking Statistics > Order turnaround (tab).

Shortcut: No

Functions

In the upper part of panel select the data to be displayed and how.

Date from: Only orders completed >after that date are included.

Data: Only orders completed before that date included.

Source: Choose here whether to display pick orders put-away orders, etc.

Order Form: Select the specific type of order to be displayed.

Display Type: Select whether to display a histogram or a general average.

when the setup is changed. Updates the panel even after approx. 5 seconds if there is pressure within.

Functions (Histogram)

Histograms show the selected orders in the graph and the table and read as:

  1. The blue bars are the number of orders that are completed at the given time.If, for example, the resolution is “day”, every column displayed are the orders for the current day. The number of the orders shows on the left y-axis. For example will the column for “5 days” to show how many orders were completed within 5 days.

  2. The black graph shows the summed number converted to percent.Used to see how many orders were completed within a given time. Percent is on the right y-axis. Example, if you want to see how long it takes before 60% of orders are completed you can read the summed graph out for 60% (approximately 5 days).

The same information as the graphs shown can also be seen in the table.

You receive up to a maximum of 100 hours or 100 days, so in some cases, the accumulated numbers do not reach 100% (if there are orders that have been more than 100 days on the way).

Features: Average

The average is calculated as a standard average over the specified period (start and end date).
