DETAILED OPERATIONS <br /> <br />Continued <br /> <br /> Once product is received and scanned, the WMS verifies if the planned and actual <br />amount received match. If no errors are found, the WMS reconciles the new product and decides <br />the best location within the warehouse to slot the product. The WMS instructs the RF operator, <br />via a Norand RT 1700 handheld terminal, where to move the received products. RF scanning <br />takes place each and every time products are moved within the DC. Once the RF operator has <br />moved the product to its assigned location, the operator scans in the license plate label and the <br />location label to confirm that the putaway is complete. <br /> <br /> The Kannapolis DC utilizes 120 <br />Norand handheld RF units, split between <br />tethered and untethered units. The tethered <br />units are placed on forklifts, within mounts <br />for safe handling during transit. The <br />untethered units are equipped with internal <br />lasers and are utilized by associates <br />throughout the DC. The RF's operate on a <br />spread-spectrum frequency, between the <br />902 - 928 megahertz range. Four EGS <br />controllers are used to add flexibility, <br />creating a redundant network. There are 14 <br />base stations within the ~varehouse that <br />transmit the frequency to the four EGS', <br />which then transmit the information to the <br />HP 9000 T520. operating the WMS. <br /> <br /> <br />
