What is Depot Visualisation?

The Depot Visualisation feature in our Warehouse Management System (WMS) provides users with a tool to obtain a basic layout of warehouse locations and the current status of stocked items within those locations. This visual representation enhances your ability to manage inventory efficiently and make informed decisions regarding stock movement and organisation.

Please note that the Depot Visualisation tool is accessible only when the warehouse locations are set up in a general layout format. This typically involves a structure such as Row A - Bay 1 - Shelf 1, represented as A-1-1.

Using Depot Visualisation

Layout Setup
Ensure that your warehouse locations are configured in a general layout, with identifiable rows, bays, and shelves. This is crucial for the accurate representation of your warehouse in the visualisation tool.

Initiating Visualisation
Navigate to the Depot Visualisation section in the WMS interface.
Select a row at the top of the interface.

Visualising Warehouse Layout
To view the layout of your warehouse, follow these steps:

1. Selecting a Row
   - Click on the row at the top of the interface that you wish to visualise.

2. Visual Representation
   - Once the row is selected, the Depot Visualisation tool will generate a visual representation of the row.
   - The layout will display the specific locations within the chosen row, providing a clear overview of the warehouse structure.

3. Stock Status
   - Each location in the visual representation will indicate the current stock status.
   - Different colors or symbols may be used to denote variations such as stocked, partially stocked, or empty locations.

4. Detailed Information
   - Click individual locations to access detailed information about the location.



Tips for Effective Use

Consistent Naming
   - Ensure that your warehouse locations are named consistently to optimise the accuracy of the visual representation.

Regular Updates
   - Keep your inventory data updated to reflect real-time stock status in the visualisation tool.

Color Coding
Green Locations are empty and have no stock available 
Grey Locations have stock available either, pickable, reserved or expected



Utilise color-coding to quickly identify different stock status or priority levels within the visual representation.

By using the Depot Visualisation feature, you can enhance your warehouse management capabilities, streamline processes, and make more informed decisions based on the visual representation of your warehouse layout and stock status.
