New Features

• Visual Trip Audit

  • Equipment Access Rules
  • One-Way Travel
  • Dolphining

• Angled Aisle Paths

• Multi-Floor travel

Visual Trip Audit

ProTrack's Visual Trip Audit allows at-a-glance visibility into anticipated travel paths, allowing users to quickly spot misconfigured paths or wrongly slotted products and use the knowledge to reduce excessive and unnecessary employee travel.

After selecting the assignments to audit from the Daily Inquiry screen, Visual Trip Audit can now be selected from the Trip Audit dropdown list.

The Visual Trip Audit will display the path taken through the facility.

By selecting individual task lines, a user can drill down into each step of the trip and watch the expected path through the facility.

Equipment Customization

Equipment can now be customized in several new ways.

Equipment Access Rules

First, an "Access Rule" can be applied to any piece of equipment.  If an Aisle has one or more access rules, a piece of equipment must belong to one of those access rules to be able to use that aisle for travel.

Here, an Aisle assigned the "Narrow Aisle" access rule.

Next, one or more pieces of equipment can be assigned to this access rule.  Only these pieces of equipment will be able to access the Narrow Aisle configured above.

Aisles with Access Rules applied will appear Orange in the Facility Layout

Equipment Access Rules will appear on the equipment screen, along with two other new fields – Max Dolphin Distance and One Way.

One-Way Travel

Equipment can now be configured as "One-Way" equipment.  If an Aisle Path has also been configured to be "One-Way", then this equipment can only travel down that Aisle Path in the configured direction.

One-Way Aisle Paths are marked with an arrow in the direction of the path on the facility Layout screen.

"Dolphining"

When picking from elevated spots within the same aisle, the employee may not return to the floor between picks and instead move directly from one elevated location to another. We call this method of picking "Dolphining."

• Without dolphining, travel time will be credited for returning to the floor, moving to the next location, then raising back into the air.
• With dolphining, the travel is calculated directly from one location to another, while remaining in the air.

Setting a Max Dolphin Distance allows control over how far an employee is able to travel without returning to the floor for the purposes of travel calculation.

• Dolphining calculations will only be used within the same aisle.
• Dolphining distance can be customized for individual pieces of equipment.

Angled Aisle Paths

ProTrack now supports travel calculations for aisle paths that are at angles rather than directly North/South or East/West.

Aisles can now be imported  with X/Y coordinates that create an angled aisle path.

Multi-Floor Travel

When traveling between floors, travel paths can now follow all the same rules as Aisles. Travel paths can be one way and have equipment access rules.

Travel paths now also support a distance. This allows the start and end coordinates of the travel path to represent their location on each floor, and the distance used for the calculation of travel time will come from the separate distance values. This makes configuration around travel paths between floors simpler. 

It is also important to note that travel between floors should always occur in such a way that a floor is fully contiguous. For example, to calculate travel correctly, a mezzanine that exists in two distinct areas of the warehouse and are not connected by any aisles should be split into two floors, Mezzanine A and Mezzanine B. Failure to keep these areas as distinct floors can increase the likelihood of calculated travel being used when traveling between floors.
