What can I expect from COSYS Electrical Industry Software?

COSYS software is characterized by the fact that we align the software with your processes and have to adapt fields, processes and data in the standardized software versions with only a few interventions from IT. For you, this means a logically comprehensible mobile application for employees in the warehouse and production with simultaneous rapid roll-out and attractive prices. Matching the mobile application, COSYS offers hardware for mobile data collection.

In addition to the mobile software, there is the COSYS backend, in which data is saved, transferred via interfaces toERP system managed and in theWebDesk be prepared. Often the ERP system does not provide everything that is needed in production planning or warehouse logistics. Depending on which solution you use from COSYS, whether production, online order or warehouse management, you can view all recorded data in the COSYS WebDesk. Several filter fields allow a targeted search for data such as components, batches or picking orders.

Online Order - digital reorder

Two things have to fit for production: The material has to be there and the machines have to run. The latter works most of the time, only the ability to deliver from the company´s own warehouse sometimes turns out to be the cause of the production stop. This may have to do with the fact that processes for reordering are not exactly employee-friendly: Forms have to be filled out, the purchasing department has to be contacted, the accounting department has to be contacted and bookings have to be made manually in the ERP system. With COSYS Online Order Software, your warehouse staff simply scan the item that is running low, enter the quantity to be ordered and tap "OK". COSYS software then sends the order directly to the ERP system so that the person responsible can process the reorder.

Warehouse Management Software

If Just-in-Time or Just-in-Sequence is not profitable for you, you have to rely on your own warehouse logistics. With COSYS Warehouse Management Software you supply on the one hand your production and on the other hand your customer orders from for example electrical wholesalers. In the electrical industry there are especially fine and small items that come with instructions on how to pick them: In which packaging does the item go, is it allowed to be on the bottom of the transport cart, and so on. And the warehouse management software must be both structured and flexible to accommodate both long-term and short-term changes in production. Manage all this and more with COSYS warehouse management softwareIt is important to distinguish whether goods delivered or to be picked are for or from production. The same applies to picking: items for production are placed in different containers, are labeled differently and are subject to different processes and priorities than external picking orders. With COSYS Warehouse Management Software it is easy to separate the two processes via two modules.

For both storage and picking, COSYS Warehouse Management Software guides the employee through the warehouse. In most cases, finished goods are spatially separated from raw materials and components, so that there are fixed storage areas within chaotic warehouses. If your finished goods, raw materials and components each have different item numbers or material numbers, COSYS Warehouse Management Software already recognizes where items need to be stored via the barcode scan. In addition, the mobile app provides storage bin suggestions to store the same items together.

In-house logistics: Do you have in-house transports, either in-house mail or materials? Then use COSYS offer for in-house logistics. On the one hand we have a solution for in-house mail, on the other hand for parcel transport. Both mobile applications consist of several modules, such as CEP acceptance, delivery or acceptance on tour. Depending on which transport steps and you maintain internally, you map this via the appropriate module. Just have a look at ourHome Mail Demo App or packageTransport Demo Appto take a look at the solution.

Production in the electrical industry

In the electrical industry, manufacturing companies are concerned with keeping production running as planned. Whether these are running processes or planned production windows, components must be there at the production cycle. Regardless of whether you produce consumer electronics, for construction sites or automobiles, it is important that the production of the components remains traceable and that batches or even serial numbers can be tracked - in case of doubt, they can be retrieved with just a few clicks.

Delivery Software for Electrical Wholesale

COSYS software enables seamlessComponent tracing and records and stores the batches for each production step. Many products go through several production steps and COSYS software tracks each of these steps. Availability of raw materials and components as well as onward transport of finished goods as with KANBAN are also covered by COSYS production software.

Comprehensive solutions and services

InventoryInventory is an annual affair for most, so many companies put up with the hassle of pen and paper before using a digital solution for that one or two days. COSYS lends a complete inventory solution of hardware, software and technical support. The app is so self-explanatory that employees understand how digital capture works within minutes. See for yourself with our demo app.

Instead of renting a whole set, you can rent only inventory scanners or only inventory software from COSYS. If you rent only hardware from us, you will receive your desired equipment at the agreed time to your desired location or locations. If you rent only software from us, it is advisable to send your hardware to COSYS so that we can record the devices with the app. In addition, we offer to import your master data. In case of permanent inventory or random inventory, a purchase of the COSYS Inventory solution is often more economical.

MDE hardwareNo software without hardware. These two companions in logistics are so closely linked that you cannot offer one without the other. COSYSMDE hardware offer includes the purchase of new or used devices, leasing models, repair services for old devices, remote support for user errors and more. We maintain partnerships with well-known manufacturers such as Zebra, Honeywell or Datalogic, but we also know our way around niche products. Our experienced staff will be happy to advise you on technical specifications, but also on practical decisions such as accessories.

Which devices are suitable for which processes? For processes in production and in the warehouse, full-touch MDE devices with at least Android 9 are the best choice in order to be future-proof in the long term. A full-touch display allows good mobile data viewing and processing. Accessories such as holsters to quickly stow the device, hand straps for a good grip or pistol grips for quick scanning should not be neglected. Depending on how much data you cache to defy WLAN gaps, the device will need a corresponding amount of memory. And so there is a lot to consider when it comes to the right MDE hardware. COSYS helps with experience and know-how.

Production - transport order

Transport orders are often triggered directly for or after production. Use the Transport Order module to easily determine where items or raw materials go next.

Transport orders

In the first screen, the employee sees the pending transport orders. When he enters an order, he gets to this mask for entry, scans the positions of the transport orders against and deposits the quantity. Red in the overview stands for not finished.

Article processing

When an item is finished being processed, the color changes from red to green and the software emits a sound, confirming to the employee that the item has been processed correctly.

Warehouse - Main Menu

Depending on which modules you need for your warehouse management, you will see them in the main menu. As a rule, not every employee sees every module. The shipping control may not need the goods receipt and vice versa. You define the view and rights easily in COSYS WebDesk.

Warehouse goods receipt

There are numerous functions for goods receipt: free goods receipt, only against order, only accept items from master data and so on. In this case the employee delivered an expected order and scanned one package of the delivery and only 23 pieces were delivered instead of 24. In some software versions, a reason must be given for shortages such as "too little delivered" or "damaged".

Loading

For loading, the driver scans each package or NVE. If he wants to complete the tour before all items are loaded, he receives an error message. Only tours can be started that are completely planned and where all delivery bills are available.

Photo Capture

If packages are damaged, the drivers simply take a photo. The same is also possible for depot deliveries.

Delivery

For the delivery, the driver scans all packages and thus ensures correct delivery. Finally, he obtains the customer´s signature. Above, alternative delivery types are possible, such as acceptance refused, depot delivery, etc.

Warehouse - Picking

In the first step of picking, the warehouse worker sees open or partially processed picking orders. Partially processed orders in this version are called "parked orders" according to which you can also filter. The order of the orders can be taken from ERP systems (internal priorities) or you can define them in COSYS WebDesk.

Order number

As soon as the warehouse worker enters an order, the software shows him the items it contains. Several orders can also be entered for multi-order picking. The order of the position is also not arbitrary, but sorted according to the shortest route. If the picker does not adhere to this, he receives a corresponding error message.

Inventory mask 1

The inventory software has three screens: one screen for the entry (you can see it here) and one each for the count list and the item list. In the entry the inventory takes place. Employees enter the counting place, article and quantity. The technical data at the top for the location, device number and person who entered the data are used to ensure complete traceability of the inventory: Who entered which articles with which device and where?

Inventory mask 2

Via the item list, your employees have the possibility to view entered data on the move and to delete incorrect data. In doing so, deleted articles are marked as deleted and not removed in order to have all data ready for the auditor. The function to mark articles instead of deleting them is available in the settings and can be deactivated with a tap.

Inventory mask 3

In the counting place list, the employee can delete entire counting places and enter them again, if this is necessary. Otherwise, he has here an overview of the already entered counting places with the place quantity.

FAQs in the electrical trade

How can I track batches?

COSYS simply integrates a scan field or input field in the mobile software, via which the captured batch is linked to the current process (goods receipt, production, picking, etc.).

Which software is suitable for KANBAN?

COSYS has developed software that is suitable for automatic demand generation at KANBAN. The requirements are simply triggered for article scans and sent to ERP systems via interfaces.

Can components be traced?

Yes. For component tracking, it is necessary to record the individual production steps and, if necessary, also batches. Only if the components are scanned during production can they be tracked later.

Are there ERP interfaces for the warehouse management software?

Yes. Data exchange tables, file exchange or exports and imports go as interfaces. Weclapp, SAP and Microsoft Dynamics Navision or AX are known to us among others.

What are the advantages of the cloud as software as a service?

The COSYS backend can be installed both on premise and in the cloud. The advantage of a cloud solution is that you hand over all IT capacities and resources to COSYS: Data backup, data hosting, updates and much more.
