Federal Aviation Administration to use Robocom's warehouse management system at Oklahoma City logistics center
Massapequa, NY — November 10, 2003 — Robocom Systems International announced this week that it is to supply its RIMS warehouse management system to the FAA Logistics Center at the Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center in Oklahoma City.
The Logistics Center operates the facilities that repair/fabricate and stock critical parts to ensure the safety of the flying public. Robocom signed a contract with DUCOM of Silver Spring, Md., a prime contractor to the Federal Aviation Administration, to supply the WMS solution to the center.
The FAA tracks over 40,000 National Stock Numbers (NSN) or stock keeping units in a primary and a secondary storage facility. The primary warehouse includes separate outside cable and steel yards, a temperature-controlled storage room and a hazardous material storage area. Material is also tracked at more than 30 separate contractor repair centers.
In addition to the standard picking, put-away and inventory tracking functionality, some of the advanced RIMS features considered for use by the FAA include wireless radio-frequency control, kitting, third-party billing (3PL), serial tracking, quality assurance, date tracking, labeling, advance ship notices (ASN) and labor management.
