> Specialized Integration Routines optimize
large file load
- Developed optimized processing
routine in WMS Integrator to process
large files (>50MB per truck ASN,
>100,000 serial numbers per truck ASN)
> Leveraged standard JDA WMS Inventory
Model while optimizing performance
for high data volume
- Standard WMS screens provide full
visibility to serialized inventory
- Serialization Optimized RF and GUI
screens allow fast validation and
movement of extremely high volumes
of serial numbers at once
