Order
The two modules "Order" and "Transport order" map the necessary steps of demand generation and goods transport. The third module "Data transmission" is used by employees when only parts of the warehouse are illuminated with WLAN.
Automotive Manufacturer / Automotive Industry Software
COSYS supports the logistics of car manufacturers in production, warehouse, (in-plant) transport and inventory. Some leading German manufacturers already use COSYS software. The software is based on mobile barcode capture. Barcode capture is accurate, fast and ensures complete digitization.Automotive Manufacturer Software from COSYS
In the area of automotive manufacturers, COSYS is strong in the logistic areas: production, warehouse management, intralogistics for in-house mail and inventory. For almost 4 decades, COSYS has been developing software solutions that are specifically adapted to the requirements of the automotive industry. In addition, COSYS offers the appropriate MDE hardware such as MDE devices, handheld scanners or label printers.
The framework of COSYS software solutions consists ofSoftware modules. Each module captures a logistical process. The module itself is already in place and is only filled with specifics of the automotive industry. Our industry configuration includes batch management, serial numbers, component tracking and other functions available on request. Data between ERP systems and the COSYS solution is exchanged via standardized interfaces.
WithoutHardware no software runs. That is why COSYS has a specialized technical department that knows everything about MDE devices, repairs and advises. With us you can purchase new equipment, buy used, lease equipment permanently or for a time, leave old equipment as a deposit and much more.
When purchasing new equipment through COSYS, you can secure your investment with additional agreements. We will discuss with you which services are included in these agreements. Possible are: Additional devices, for example, for inventory, replacement devices in case of failure and repair of the damage and remote assistance in case of problems on site.
Production in the automotive industry
The production chain at automotive manufacturers is long. It´s not a matter of sticking two parts on top of each other and putting things in an outer box. Many production steps are necessary until a finished car is at the end of the chain. Record the individual production steps with COSYS mobile software. Both components and batches are tracked via the mobile software and this data is digitally prepared in the COSYS WebDesk. If you need further data for your track and trace in production, we will integrate it.
Capturing barcodes before and after production steps is accurate and does not take long. With each scan, the software checks whether the corresponding items are intended for the following production step. If not, the employee receives error messages.
Your ERP system does not provide all the data you would like to have for production? The COSYS WebDesk displays both the master and article data from your ERP system as well as all mobile data. The tabular structure is very clear in the COSYS WebDesk. In addition, you can define the views in WebDesk yourself: Which columns do you want to show? Which contents are at the front? According to which values do you want to sort? For each column value there are filter fields to search specifically for status, article, order numbers and other data.
Online Order - simply reorder
Only one BOM component is missing to put everything together? Avoid such scenarios and order intelligently. COSYS Online-Order App bypasses all the ways you have to do with an ERP system: write or call the purchasing department, confirm three times which article and in which quantity you need, go through release processes and so on. The employee only has to enter the articles via barcodes, enter the quantity and, if necessary, add a comment to the order. This data is then automatically transferred to the ERP system and processed there.
Warehouse Management Software
Many automotive manufacturers produce just-in-time or just-in-sequence. The storage areas have thus become smaller and depend on maximum efficiency. This efficiency begins with goods receipt, in that only the ordered goods are actually accepted in perfect condition. After that, it is important to store the goods skillfully. Do not leave it to chance but to our software to store parts for production hall A near exit A, for hall B near exit B and so on.
Mobile software:For complex warehouse management, COSYS offers several modules that are adapted to your processes. Because we configure instead of program, we can implement projects quickly and provide demo versions for testing in advance.
If your leading system is an ERP system, the first priority is real-time data exchange. This data exchange ensures that the inventories on site in the warehouse and production match those in the ERP system. No more discrepancies between physical and system inventory. COSYS has already developed interfaces to ERP systems such asSAP, Microsoft DynamicsAX, Microsoft DynamicsNavisionweclapp. So when your warehouse worker takes an order at the receiving dock, all current order numbers are on COSYS mobile software including expected items.
The following warehouse modules are available for you to choose from: Goods Receiving, Putaway, Stock Transfer, Returns, Picking and Shipping Control. Within these modules there are functions such as: Enter NVEs, track loading equipment, scan batches and serial numbers, FIFO, take photos, manage parts lists and more.
Backend:An ERP system that provides everything a warehouse manager needs. That has yet to be invented. So use the COSYS WebDesk. This management tool is included in the COSYS backend. The clear and tabular views reveal all the warehouse data and order status you need. You want to know how many picking orders are open for production hall A? Just filter by the customer, in this case production, and the WebDesk shows you with self-explanatory icons what the statuses are: open, partially processed, finished, missing or damaged.
Production stalls because it takes far too long to communicate from the warehouse that parts are damaged? This does not happen with COSYS. You can store comments in every module. In case of comments such as "damaged" or "out of stock", the software automatically sends an e-mail to the responsible person so that it is taken care of immediately.
Package Inhouse
The larger the car plant, the more time goes into internal organization. In-house mail is a big factor in this internal organization. COSYS Package Inhouse Software takes a lot of work off your employees´ hands, eliminates errors and automates many steps of in-house mail distribution.
Typical steps in in-house mail distribution are parcel acceptance, parcel assignment and delivery or self-collection. COSYS Package Inhouse covers these steps. The employee scans with his handheld the
delivered parcels and obtains a digital signature from the CEP service at the end. Then he assigns the parcels to the employees in another module. During the assignment, e-mails can already be sent automatically to the employees so that they know that their mail is there.
Every company delivers internal mail differently. Some have a fixed in-house mail storage location, perhaps per building, where everyone picks up their mail. Others bring the parcels to the office. COSYS software can and knows all delivery types and maps these types in a streamlined way.
Not only does COSYS Package Inhouse map all package statuses, the software is particularly intuitive. A clear main menu leads to the modules, which in turn require as much data as necessary and as little as possible. Our freeDemo app for in-house mail distribution shows how understandable and self-explanatory COSYS software is.
Status viewCapturing data on mobile devices is all well and good, but managing and controlling it is where success lies. COSYS WebDesk tabulates what each shipment status is. You can filter by employee, search by shipment number or view only the packages with the status "arrived". These filters allow you to search for important information and answer questions about the shipment status at a glance.
Inventory software
Inventory needs more employees than usual, often too much time, more equipment than usual and software. We can not serve you with employees, but everything else you get through COSYS. Be it 3 additional devices for the one inventory day, a software in addition and the time you get indirectly, because inventory with COSYS is much faster.
The time saved in inventory starts with the delivery of the devices. When you order software and hardware from COSYS, these devices are ready for immediate use: software is installed, user data is stored and master data is imported. The
intuitive software ensures a quick count and inventory. Finally, the COSYS backend synchronizes the mobile-captured data with your ERP system and outputs ready-to-use inventory reports if required. That doesn´t just sound simple, it is.
As with the house mail distribution, you will also be able to take inventory in the GooglePlay Store and AppleApp Store found what you are looking for. For both operating systems we have a freeDemo app of our inventory software.
