Konecranes Portal is your single point of access to our digital customer platforms for industrial crane maintenance information and TRUCONNECT data, and spare parts, accessories and manuals.
The Konecranes WMS Material Flow Module (MFM) controls the flow of rolls from the winder to storage and from storage to the output conveyor lines in the loading area. The MFM also controls roll measurement and labeling.
Measured values of rolls are transferred and stored in the WMS database and can also be sent to your MES/ERP system for other uses such as label printing. If measured values are out of tolerance, the operator can intervene for correction.
The interface with a label printer lets you create your own customized labels and make changes to existing labels at any time with support from Konecranes experts.
The conveyor visualization gives an overview of the conveyor system including roll information, system status and error logs. This allows the operator to locate faults in the conveyor system and supports operating personnel in troubleshooting.
The Konecranes WMS Shipping Management Module (SMM) provides special functions for shipping storage such as dialogues to manage shipping lists, deliveries and trucks. It also controls the distribution of retrieved rolls on the favored output conveying lines.
The SMM prevents mixing of different shipping lists on the same output line and automatically optimizes loads to truck payload weight. This makes truck loading easier and more efficient because forklift drivers do not have to manually sort rolls for different trucks.
The Konecranes WMS Yard Management Module (YMM) closes the gap between transport and warehouse logistics and supports organizing processes to save both time and costs. This provides optimal utilization of the crane system depending on the availability of loading bays and forklifts.
A mobile version of the WMS for the forklift terminal includes dialogues to manage shipments including calling trucks, managing shipment details and registering loaded rolls.
The WMS is extended by dialogues for truck registration in the parking area or gate and for interfacing with weighing systems. In the parking area, displays show truck information such as the number plate of the truck being loaded, the customer and rolls to be loaded.
The Konecranes WMS Conversion Management Module (CMM) features advanced capabilities for efficient production management in intermediate roll warehouses. The production schedule is managed with precision and the distribution of rolls to sheeters or corrugator machines is intelligently controlled via the infeed lines of the machines.
The sophisticated CMM offers specialized dialogues for managing production schedules, machine allocation, and roll distribution to meet the specific needs of intermediate warehouses. By planning rolls for production and maximizing their usage, the system reduces waste and improves overall efficiency.
Using different simulation models, we analyze capacity and performance in order to provide recommendations on the system design and capacity, the number of bridge cranes and performance requirements as well as insight on the operational rules of the system.
Why simulation?
We use cutting-edge simulation technology to create a digital twin of your crane-automated paper roll warehouse that emulates the crane movements. This virtual model helps operators and engineers gain valuable early insights into the expected performance of the entire system.
Why a crane emulator?
Protect your warehouse management system investment with the WMS Preventive Maintenance Service. The service provides support for the Konecranes WMS software during the operation of the system and includes regular inspection and minor adjustments to maximize availability and minimize the risk of downtime. When you require high-level technical expertise, you can take advantage of troubleshooting support during office hours.
When time is critical WMS Remote Support provides quick response for troubleshooting issues that require high-level technical expertise. Minimize unplanned downtime with 24/7 access to our global network of WMS specialists supported by local Standby Service.
In controlled circumstances, and assisted by local Standby Service, a two-way on-line communication with the local WMS system and their operators can be established to expedite corrective action.
