Illa Warehouse

ILLA FOR SMART TRANSPORTATION SERVICES

About this app

Illa Warehouse is the handheld app ILLA's warehouse crews use to run the floor. It replaces the Infor SCE RF client on our Zebra fleet.

This is an internal app for authorised ILLA staff. It requires a Warehouse Control account to sign in, and there is nothing to see without one.

WHAT THE CREW DOES WITH IT

Receiving — work an ASN line by line against what actually came off the truck. Quantities are entered in the unit the pallet is stacked in (pallets, cases or eaches), and
expiry and lot are captured where the item calls for them.

Putaway — by licence plate, where the plate is the instruction, or by item. The destination is checked against what is already in the rack before the operator walks there.

Picking — cluster picking by order id, one card per pick. The tour re-reads itself as the office releases, withdraws or re-points lines, so a picker is told when the work in
front of them has changed instead of counting against a card that is no longer true.

Order check — the verification step after picking. A checker counts a picked order line by line, in pallets, cases or eaches, before it can be packed or shipped.

Inventory move — move stock between locations, choosing the lot and the pallet explicitly when a lane holds more than one.

SCANNING

Scanning is the primary input. On Zebra devices the imager is driven through DataWedge and the app sets up its own profile, so there is nothing to configure device by
device. Where the imager will not read, or the hardware has none, the camera decodes the barcode instead.

Scans are routed by step: the same trigger pull means "location" or "item" depending on where the operator is, with no field to tap first.

TWO WAYS TO READ THE MENU

Crews coming off the Infor client can keep the numbered keypad menu they already know — type a digit, press Enter, Esc goes back. Everyone else gets large touch tiles
grouped by shift. It is a per-operator setting.

BUILT FOR THE FLOOR

The menu shows only the work an operator's role allows, so nobody is offered a job the server will refuse.

Accounts with more than one site choose their warehouse at sign-in, and can switch without signing out.

Quantities and dates leave the device in a fixed format whatever the device language is set to, so a handheld in Arabic sends the same data as one in English.

The app checks on launch whether its build is still supported, and stops rather than writing the wrong shape of data against a backend that has moved on.

What’s new

New in 1.15

• Order Check (OUTBOUND → ORDER CHECK): a checker counts a picked order line by line before it can be packed. Lines that don't match go back for recheck.
• Move: scanning the item is now required, and loose LPNs are selected by tapping.
• Receiving: handhelds set to Arabic can enter expiry dates again — they had been refusing every receive.
• Fixed a crash when a sync reminder appeared.
