Warehouse Management & Traceability

Material logistics tied to production, from goods receipt to delivery, with lot-level traceability.

Why it matters

Metalya combines warehouse management (storage, handling and tracking of goods) with transport and traceability management (shipment planning and delivery tracking). It manages material logistics from goods receipt, through consignment shipments, to the delivery of finished products against the sales order. This shortens waiting times for materials, improves inventory management and makes better use of resources.

  • Materials ready on time

    Material flows follow current production requirements, reducing waits and stops for missing material.

  • Lower stock levels

    A just-in-time approach reduces stock and the cost of holding raw materials and finished goods.

  • Lot traceability end to end

    Material lots are traced from goods receipt to shipment, supporting quality and compliance.

Key features

What it does

  • 01

    Integrated with production

    Logistics is not just moving material: it is coordinated with production in real time, so material flows follow current production requirements.

  • 02

    Just-in-time management

    Supports a JIT approach to inventory, reducing stock and the cost of holding large quantities of raw materials or finished goods.

  • 03

    Lot traceability

    Lot management traces the material lots used at each stage of production, from receipt to shipment, improving product quality and compliance.

  • 04

    Less waste

    Controlled material movements reduce losses due to expiry, damage or obsolescence.

  • 05

    Production changes

    When production plans change, the materials needed are made available where and when they are required.

  • 06

    Connected data

    Logistics shares its data with production planning, quality control and maintenance, for smoother, coordinated operations.

  • 07

    Operational efficiency

    Removes waiting times and machine stops caused by missing material, increasing production throughput.

  • 08

    Decision support

    Collected logistics data and its analysis provide useful insight for planning and strategic decisions.

What it covers

Every lot knows where it has been.

Receiving, warehouse, picking, consumption and shipping run on the same model as production — so genealogy is a by-product of doing the work, not a project after a complaint.

  • 01

    Lots and genealogy

    Input and output lots linked at every work stage; traceability history from produced lot to consumed lot.

  • 02

    Warehouses and locations

    Warehouses, locations and compositions; stock by lot with remaining quantity and work in progress.

  • 03

    Handling units

    Pallets, containers and reels composed, moved and shipped as units.

  • 04

    Picking and requests

    Picking lists per work stage and material requests from the shop floor.

  • 05

    Purchasing and shipping

    Receipts against purchase orders create lots with quantity, expiry and cost; shipping orders and transport documents.

  • 06

    Planning link

    APS checks material availability before releasing work.

Warehouse and transport in one flow

Metalya follows materials along the whole logistics flow, keeping each step linked to production and sales orders.

  • Goods receipt

    Incoming raw materials and components are received and recorded with their lots, ready for storage or for use in production.

  • Storage and handling

    Goods are stored, moved and tracked inside the warehouse and delivered to production as required.

  • Consignment shipments

    Materials sent out for external processing remain traceable while they are away from the plant.

  • Shipping and delivery

    Shipments are planned and deliveries tracked up to the fulfilment of the sales order.
