2. System Overview
• The RDS system to be installed at the Landmark International facility in Dubai will be
responsible for managing selected functionality within the DC, under the control of the
Oracle WMS.
• The RDS system incorporates both warehouse management functionality (WMS) and
warehouse control functionality (WCS) and comprises the following:
– A Tote Conveyor system
– Put to light equipment (PTL)
– Direction of pickers via RF equipment (supplied by others)
– Selected functionality
• Inbound shipment’s Allocation orders/ Replenishment Orders(CDC Stock) are
downloaded from the LMI host computer system. A single order is processed in full, at
any one time.
• Items are processed through the RDS , Put to light (PTL) module
• Receipt confirmations are uploaded from the RDS system, according to the agreed host
interface specification
3. Processing in RDS
• Each item is barcode labeled with the unique SKU barcode
• Within each major merchandise category the product undergoes stage
pick for allocation to each store. These functions are facilitated by the tote
conveyor and pick to light equipment, in the case of apparel, and via
handheld RF units, in the case of footwear and accessories
• Each item is scanned prior to packing, generating a price ticket which is
automatically printed and manually applied
• Orders destined for local stores are packed for local transport (eg on
hangers for apparel), while orders for GCC stores are packed into
shippers
• A packing list, for every package shipped, may be printed on demand
4. Location Management
• The RDS will maintain all locations within the CDC area.
• The “RDC area” is further divided into zones
• Each zone is mapped to a merchandise department
– Which location belongs in which zone, and which merchandise department is mapped to which zone, will be
determined prior to system configuration
• All locations are designated as pickable.
• It is possible to place multiple SKU’s in a single location. Items directed to this
area will be putaway, to locations, using handheld RF units.
• Store replenishment orders will be downloaded from the Landmark International
host computer system.
• Picking in the DC area will be performed using handheld RF units.
• Items will then be processed through the respective modules (pick to light or RF),
as per Replenishment Order downloaded
• An inventory synchronization facility is provided whereby RDS notifies the
Landmark International host computer system of all stock within CDC area
• The Landmark International DC will be divided into logical areas as follows:
