Once ProTrack *Warehouse has been configured to import data, configuring other key elements in the system comes next. Some of this is required, and some of it may remain optional until standards have been configured and productivity data is flowing through ProTrack *Warehouse. The required configuration is listed below:

...

After completing the above configuration, these additional reporting elements can optionally be configured. These are used as additional reporting groups, providing added flexibility when reporting on various combinations of activities in your operation.

Zones and Micro-zones
These are elements which can be passed via WMS file import which represent where the Activity was physically performed in the facility. Additionally Zones and Micro-Zones may be used for more granular reporting. There is no direct relationship between a Zone and a Micro-Zone.

Shifts
A Shift is simply a group of schedules. Shifts are often used in ProTrack Warehouse to group schedules that start around the same time. For example a single Shift may contain three Schedules, which have associates on staggered start times (differing by perhaps 30 minutes).

Warehouse Mapping (XYZs)

ProTrack Warehouse is capable of calculating the discrete travel routes taken by associates as they work in an assignment. This is achieved by mapping the various places an associate travels to within ProTrack Warehouse application. The system utilizes a precise coordinate system to assign each location an (x,y) coordinate. We then define the passable travel paths, on which the locations are associated.

The process of configuration of XYZs involves importing several types of elements, as defined below:

  1. Import Floors
  2. Import Aisle PathsPathsXYZ Component and Travel Paths
  3. Generate Node
  4. Import Segments
  5. Import Locations
