Uphantis Logistics Integration (ULI) addresses process integration within the logistics execution. On one hand this means that ULI focuses on horizontal integration above the chain, between central and decentral logistic systems. On the other hand, aims ULI at the vertical integration between ERP and execution systems such as MES, SCADA and WMS.
Integration does not only consist of exchanging messages. A real-time link between different logistic systems and machines offers added value to the execution process itself, faster and better information over different systems, but more importantly the possibility to adapt the planning based on the most current and accurate data. Examples are real-time feedback of a production device standstill resulting in production stagnation, real-time control of (voice-)pickers in the warehouse whenever a delivery arrives later or earlier or the registration of real-time ‘drops' of trucks in a country causing a better insight in the status of means of transport.
ULI consultants do not only have profound knowledge of production processes, warehouse management and transport, but also knowledge of the different machines and systems used in the process. This unique combination of skills and competences makes ULI the perfect partner in designing and organising the most efficient and best logistics integrator solution.
