AutoScheduler Introduces Make-n-Ship Warehouse Optimization Platform
Optimize Trailer Usage; Tie Customer and Site Orders to Dynamic Production Schedule
Today, at the Retailers International Leaders Association, (RILA), AutoScheduler.AI, an innovative Warehouse Management System (WMS) accelerator, introduces the Make-n-Ship warehouse optimization platform that optimizes loading products straight off the production line to better orchestrate production, warehousing, and transportation plans. Moving production runs directly to a truck eliminates touches, helps with labor shortages and reduces the need for storage space in a warehouse or distribution center located at the manufacturing site.
Make-n-Ship:
• Creates transportation requirements days in advance so "best cost carriers" can be engaged.
• Reschedules transportation as production changes, aiming to match production schedules.
• Creates and transmits a recommended transportation plan.
• Updates hourly on the need and timing of trailers and inventory.
• Issues alerts, using the latest data and trailer availability to relay such warnings, as there will be a trailer shortage in two days.
• Updates a real-time deployment module to reflect the latest decisions on where to shift or store inventory.
Clients using Make-n-Ship have been able to free up 10% more space capacity, reduce production planning loads by 33%, increase floor productivity by 8%, increase container fill by 2%, and increase service levels by 4%.
AutoScheduler will be introducing Make-n-Ship at RILA in Booth 2129.

Featured Product
FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection
The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
