lis.rackmgmt 4
Intelligent rack management for glass logistics
lis.rackmgmt 4 is the central software solution for intelligent rack management in glass production and logistics. The solution supports the automatic optimisation, planning and management of rack loads while taking account of safety requirements, rack geometries and customer-specific packing rules. A modern 2D/3D editor also enables manual adjustments and visual checking.
How is lis.rackmgmt 4 structured?
lis.rackmgmt 4 comprises several coordinated functional areas:
- Automatic optimisation algorithm for calculating optimum rack loads
- Web-based 2D/3D rack editor with drag & drop
- Management of rack types, struts and transport poles
- Rule set for global, customer-specific and rack-specific packing requirements
- Functions for grouping and sorting by orders, deliveries or freely definable criteria
- Live validation for immediate checking of rule violations
- Interface to GPS.prod for end-to-end production and logistics processes
- Optional optimisation for robot-assisted loading and unloading processes in conjunction with lis.logisticscockpit 4
How does lis.rackmgmt 4 work?
The system processes order, product, delivery and rack data and automatically calculates the optimum distribution of glass products across the available racks. It takes account of weight limits, rack struts, transport poles, safety requirements and customer-specific packing guidelines.
Several optimisation strategies can be run in parallel. The system then automatically selects the best solution. The result can be adjusted manually in the integrated 2D/3D editor if required. The completed rack plan is then incorporated into the production and delivery process, for example through integration with GPS.prod or lis.logisticscockpit 4.
Who is lis.rackmgmt 4 suitable for?
lis.rackmgmt 4 is suitable for:
- Flat glass processors with high shipping and logistics volumes
- Production planners and dispatchers seeking to plan rack loads efficiently
- Companies with complex packing and delivery requirements
- Companies seeking higher rack utilisation and less manual planning effort
- Glass manufacturers with automated logistics processes and robotic systems
- Companies seeking seamless integration of rack planning with GPS.prod or lis.logisticscockpit 4
What advantages does the software offer?
lis.rackmgmt 4 automates and optimises rack management throughout the entire production and delivery process. The software significantly reduces manual planning effort, improves rack utilisation and increases planning reliability by taking account of safety requirements, weight limits and customer-specific packing rules. By combining automatic optimisation, an interactive 2D/3D editor and seamless integration with GPS.prod, users benefit from more efficient logistics processes, greater transparency and increased flexibility in rack planning.
The Highlights
Automatic rack optimisation
A powerful optimisation algorithm automatically calculates the best possible rack load. Available rack types, weight distribution, safety requirements, transport poles, struts and customer-specific packing rules are all taken into account. Several optimisation strategies can be evaluated in parallel to identify the most efficient solution.
Interactive 2D/3D rack editor
The modern web-based editor provides front, side, top and 3D views for complete visualisation of the rack load. Users can manually adjust optimisation results using drag & drop. Integrated live validation detects rule violations immediately and supports safe planning.
Seamless integration into production and logistics
lis.rackmgmt 4 works directly with GPS.prod and supports rack optimisation both before and during batch planning. This efficiently links rack planning, production planning and logistics processes.
