Shipping Control Ensures 100% Accuracy
The SPEDE Finished Goods module automates and controls Pallet Labeling, Picking, Staging and Trailer Loading processes, to ensure customer orders are 100% correct before they leave your dock.
This accuracy is achieved by scanning and verifying the Pallet serial numbers as the pallets are picked, staged and loaded into the trailer. If the wrong pallet is being scanned for a customer order, the operator is alerted to prevent an error.
Highlights of Shipping Control:
- Automates Pallet label creation, Putaways, Location-tracking, Picking, Staging and Trailer Loading operations via RF or RFID
- Provides real-time, 24/7 visibility of inventory and orders
- Prints serialized Master / Mixed labels via scanning
- Creates ASN data streams and ERP transactions via scanning or RFID
- Transacts with Future Three, ERP and EDI
- Maintains Lot / Serial Traceability from Finished Product to customer shipment
- Can interface to RFID Yard Management System

Scan to Container S/Ns to Create Master Label
Pallet Labeling Control
You can print serialized barcode and/or RFID internal abels and customer Master/Mixed labels automatically by simply scanning the serial numbers of all containers on the pallet. Tthe SPEDE Label Database automatically supplies the correct label data and format based on your Internal part number, or your Customer's part number, to eliminate operator decision-making and data entry.
Real-time Error-proofing--
- "Apply Label" function verifies that a label is correct for the Pallet before it is applied. This prevents the label mix-ups that occur when multiple pallet labels are printed at the same time.
- Reprints a Master Label automatically when the label is scanned at trailer loading, if any of the Customer label data has changed since the label was initially created.
Real-time Picking and Staging Control
- Picking is directed via real-time picklist or shipper data from your host
- Just scan the pallet’s serial number to pick
- Optional FIFO control
- Real-time validation of the pick transaction prevents picking errors
- Allocates the picked serial numbers to the customer's order
- Ensures that all allocated serial numbers are loaded on the trailer
- You can vew the real-time status of orders using any wireless device connected to the SPEDE network.
Real-time Trailer Loading Control
An RFID reader mounted to the forklift or to the dock entrance can read and verify the serialized RFID tags on pallets as they are loaded.
Or the operator can use an RF handheld to scan the barcoded serial number on each pallet Master Label during loading.
SPEDE ensures that the pallets are loaded on the correct trailer, and that all pallets for this order have been loaded before closing the trailer.
When the load is correct and complete, SPEDE creates a ship transaction, ASN datastream, manifest, and updates the host ERP and EDI systems.
This automated process and real-time control over pallet labeling, picking and trailer loading enables your company to ship error-free orders every time.
