// Functions
Overview of the Available Features
Master data entry and management
For optimal storage and care of the cheese, all necessary data can be easily defined and entered in advance with storage. With the help of this data, storage is able to generate delivery bills and invoices in an uncomplicated way.
Master data entry and management
Cheese
The cheese master data defines the different types of cheese that storage can manage. Depending on the type of cheese, other care measures and other presets can be defined.
Addresses
storage is able to generate delivery bills and invoices based on warehouse data. For this purpose, a wide variety of addresses can be defined in the address master data for suppliers, manufacturers, carriers and buyers. The columns can be expanded very easily if necessary.

Control functions in the warehouse process
The control functions in the storage process include all the necessary functions for automatically moving cheese into and out of storage.
Control functions in the warehouse process
Batch preperation
Storage prepares batches for storage by entering various information. Depending on the configuration, different parameters can be entered, such as delivery date, supplier, cheese, climate zone, MHD, care plan, etc. Once the batches have been prepared, the selected batches can be transferred for storage and the necessary free spaces can be searched for.
There is an optional possibility to automate the batch preparation.
Putaway
With the putaway function of storage, a putaway weight can be assigned to the batches. The weight can be entered manually or automatically via a connected scale.
Putaway with a robot (optional)
The storage process can also be optionally automated by means of a connected robot. For this purpose, different tools are set on the robot and in the storage program.
If all data match (robot position, cheese format), a robot order is created in the software for this pallet. When all boards of the pallet are reported back as successfully stored by the robot, the storage for this pallet is automatically completed.
Transfer
With this function, all transfer pallets are clearly displayed. Here, too, transfering with a robot is possible.
Retrieval
With the retrieval function of storage, a retrieval weight can be assigned to the loaves to be retrieved. The process works in the same way as the storage process. Here, too, the retrieval can optionally be carried out by means of a robot.
Other functions in the warehouse management process
storage optionally creates clear storage slips, storage lists, stock transfer slips, stock removal lists, stock removal slips, packing slips and stock removal reports.
Stock and stock promotions
With storage, all the contents of the warehouse are displayed completely and clearly. In addition, various actions can be easily performed in the cheese warehouse.
Stock and stock promotions
Dynamic display of the current stock level
storage graphically displays the contents of the complete warehouse as a table in a tabular warehouse overview.
Perform actions
With this function of storage different actions can be started with the cheeses.
Retrieval
Various settings for the removal of the cheese, such as the collection date, recipient, carrier can be made.
Transfer
With storage, uncomplicated and simple entries can be made for the storage strategy, the storage target and the number of loaves per batch.
Cellar management
With the cellar management storage forms an overview of the complete ripening warehouse. With a graphically displayed row view and other tools from storage, cheese storage details are displayed.
Cellar management
Cellar overview
Based on the bars in each row, the row utilization of the warehouse can be seen. The total load is also displayed with storage.
Recording and monitoring of air conditioning data
With storage the course of temperature and humidity of the selected climate zone can be displayed. In addition, the minimum, maximum, average and median values for the selected period are displayed
Row view

Notification and Alerts
Alarms
storage detects all capacitance limits/load limits, nursing robot malfunctions, air conditioning malfunctions, robot control malfunctions and sends an alarm.
Alarm archiving
Storage shows how many alarms are active in total and the alarm text of the last occurred alarm is displayed. All alarms are archived and are displayed in an alarm overview.
Maintenance programs and recipe management
If robots are used in the cheese ripening cellar, storage can be used to automate cheese care. Nursing recipes can thus be entered in an uncomplicated manner and nursing traceability is provided by storage.
Maintenance programs and recipe management
Robot orders
With storage all orders are listed, which the robot is to process. In addition, new car orders can be generated easily. Different settings for the new orders are easily possible.

Care evaluation
Storage is used to display past maintenance.
Care parameters
Storage can be used to create care parameters that determine how the robot performs care.
Assign care parameters (optional)
With storage, the care parameters are linked to various conditions or rules. These conditions then result in the care proposals or the orders are generated.
Care plans and sample care plans (optional)
With a care plan from storage, the sequence of cares for a batch is defined. Each batch is assigned a care plan when it is placed into storage.
