Kasto upgrades warehouse management software

Kasto upgrades warehouse management softwareTo complement its range of storage systems and controls, Kasto Ltd, Milton Keynes (www.kasto.uk.com), has upgraded its warehouse management software to improve its functionality. The core functions of KastoLogic comprise an intuitive graphical user interface, an interface to the customer’s host computer system, and a ‘dashboard’ for overall visualisation of warehouse management.

Additions to the standard module include Material Flow, which oversees dynamic random storage and real-time re-stocking; it also provides 3-D simulation to help optimise the system’s full potential. Meanwhile, inventory management is broken down into three sub-groups: Logistics, for optimising routes within the warehouse; Production, for providing an overview of orders and machine utilisation; and Manual Storage, for managing non-automated areas of a warehouse and manually operated equipment.

Moreover, this latest software can accommodate machines and handling systems with higher levels of automation than could be handled by the previous version (KastoLvr). An automation function allows an even better overview of connected production machinery, whether it is for sawing, sheet-metal profiling, pressworking or inter-machine handling.

One of the first companies to use KastoLogic is the metal stockholder Weinmann Aach AG, which uses four KastoUnicompact honeycomb systems with a total of 7,000 cassettes. The stores, which include goods-to-man commissioning stations, hold steel, stainless steel and aluminium bar, tube and profiles.
