Kardex Remstar Presents the Latest Version of its Power Pick Global Warehouse Management Software

NEUBURG, Germany, August 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

Fully revised and state-of-the-art - this is how Kardex Remstar presents the latest release 3.1. of its Power Pick Global warehouse management software. The Microsoft.net-based software offers more than 45 different features in comparison with the previous software version, including other pick display and XML data exchange. Customers will profit from improved intra-logistics processes and a modular and future-proof software architecture.

In contrast to numerous other warehouse management systems, Power Pick Global is based on Microsoft.net.  "This way we achieve a much higher performance with computers that are based on Microsoft systems - usually the standard in today's logistics centers - than other software products that are based on other technologies", so Sebastian Thiesen, Product Manager Software at Kardex Remstar, as he explains the advantages of their inhouse product. "The outcome is a much faster processing speed and faultless communication between the IT-systems."

Another highlight of Release 3.1 is the advanced pick display. Via monitors, the operator receives additional information on the items to be picked, e.g. a photo of the product or a graphical view of the bin position. "This inhouse solution by Kardex is now offered to our customers as a standard feature. It speeds up the picking process and prevents many mistakes and errors that usually occur during everyday operating routines. And on top of that, the principle is easy to understand, also for employees who speak other languages", summarizes Thiesen.

Power Pick Global stands out from other systems because of the high degree of scalability of its modules. The software is not only a perfect solution for the storage and retrieval systems made by Kardex Remstar, it can also be easily integrated into standard storage systems of other manufacturers and used for the management of manually operated warehouses. In addition, the software has interfaces to superior ERP- and host systems. All major picking/putting and communication technologies such as MDE, Pick-to-Light or RFID are already integrated.
